  1. E30 M3 values will stay strong IMO.

    A few have been imported from Japan over the last few years, they have now gone up in value over there.

    $2,000,000yen ($45,000ish NZ) gets you a nice 87 model, then you have to land it and do all the other stuff required to get it on the road.


  2. I just wanted to double check my memory with you guys.

    If I recall correctly BMW NZ released the E36 BMW 318is Motorsport around the end of 97 or 98 here is an example here:

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=195753096

    I believe this was released to celebrate Paul Morris and Craig Baird winning the 1997 2.0 race at Bathurst in a E36 Super Tourer. However this team was disqualified as Baird had violated a race rule prohibiting drivers from driving more than 210 consecutive minutes in any one stint. The race was awarded to teammates David and Geoff Brabham.

    BMW still released the above cars to celebrate the win, I think I recall seeing ads in the print that played on this.

    Does anyone recall this and the release of the E36 BMW 318is Motorsport? Was it a limited run car? If so does anyone know the numbers of them in NZ?


  3. Dude, I just provided you with a link to the BMW parts diagram that proves without a doubt that BMW offered clear lights as a factory option on 3 litre M3's. What else do you need??!!

    And you're right... back to the M3 at hand. Gosh, it would look better if it had been factory optioned with clears eh? ;)

    The link you posted from realoem.com doesnt say anthing about years.


  4. Wrong.

    RealOEM Parts Diagram - M3 front/side turn indicators

    Case in point: CrazyArab's 1995 M3 has OEM clears from the factory.

    Is CrazyArab's M3 a one owner? If not how do you know they havent been replaced?

    Weve had a 2 94 3.0 M3's and one 95 3.0 M3, all nz new. All had factory indictors in them. The Blue 95 was a one owner before we got it, it had orange indicators all round. The first purple 94 had factory clears in the front and oranges everywhere else (so I put oranges back into it), the second purple 94 had factory clears all round. My take on this was that someone was trying to update in.

    Unless youve know a said car from new you have know idea.

    Now, back to talking about the red E36 M3 at Turners . . .

    Oh, and I might put my hand up for another, or should I hold out for E36 325 auto? Hard call . . .


  5. Clear indicators were an option on all 3 litre M3's.

    All Evos came with them standard.

    No, all 3.0's were orange.

    The said car at Turners could make for a good Targa car if its cheap enough.

    Being a repo though you would have to wonder if the money has been spent on it in regards to servicing.

    IE, couldnt afford to replace flog lights so pull them out.


  6. How do you tell if you are dealing with a real M325i? Is there a certain VIN number for M325i's?

    What are the specs of them? Suspension, LSD, seats, steering wheel, gearknob, wheels, bodykit? Anything else?

    Also, were M325i's built at the factory or at local dealers?

    Finally, what are your thoughts of pricing for these cars? Is it just me or does $9k-$12k seem to be a little high when you can buy E36 M3s for as little as $14.5?
