Could be wrong, but suspect that this may be the Sth African example that was brought in by it's original owners in the late 90's. If it is, this car was marketed last time (3-4 years ago) for around $11k. It spend some time in the Hawkes Bay. Originally sat on the original turbine wheels (despite being a 92').

I was thinking it was the exHB car.

Hard to put a price on them, but if they are straight and true I would put them in the $800-$1,000 range. More if you have the centres.

not much of a market for them in NZ and not an easy part to ship internationally.

Thanks Jon.

E30 m3's came with 16" bbs basketweaves and will not fit on your everyday e30. I think you are meaning the 15" bbs basketweaves that came on the NZ M325i ..... They are still out there, but hard to come by....the hardest part is getting the centre caps for them, as the 14" versions don't fit. Do yours still have the caps?

I got mine through this site a couple of years back. From someone who had them on their e30 series racer......not mentioning exact prices but we're still very affordable back then. Around 500 if I recall for 4. Not sure what they go for now.

good luck.

No they didn't . . . Standard E30 M3's come came on 15 inch wheels, a couple of the limited edition models came on 16's (Sport Evo's etc). E30 M3 wheels are never going to fit a E30 M325i because  . . . . . an E30 M3 is 5x120, not 4x100.

There ends the lesson.

Could anyone give me a rough idea what a set of 15 inch E30 M3 wheels are worth? They are very tidy with black faces.

This was randomly in the company car park yesterday.

Good suggestion......in theory you could import one as a low volume special vehicle. Seen a couple for sale that were grey imported to the uk from Portugal.

You don't need a low volume special vehicle thing, you can import what you want if it's 20 years old.

Some has already imported a 320is into NZ.

The other option is the Rieger M3 GT front lip:

Theses Motorsports are meant to have factory side splitters. Most of them have been knocked off now.

Thanks Hans.

I'm after a kit like below for my R53 Cooper S. Does anyone know where I can get one in NZ?

A mate of mine is selling this:

I believe he's the second owner. Personally I think he's nuts selling it.

if all those faults where fixed and it was mint and maybe with around 150ks on the clock it would fetch about $4-5k

but not in that state and those k's

those motors need a lot of work at that millage , valve stem seals , timming chains and guides , heaps of gaskets , seals ,

sensors , hoses , coolers etc etc

Thanks for that. Just what I was thinking.

Here are some photos of the said car:

Interesting, they are asking 5.5K for it, I thought it could have been worth half of that? Just shows how wrong one can be.

Out of interest who did you buy the parts thru?

AutohausAZ, but with shipping via Youshop. 

Sorry, I was thinking about purchasing it. It's a friend of mines Mum car. 

The car is a 2002 (E46) 318 (N42) Motorsport, Japanese import facelift manual which has done 192,000kms.  Its silver in colour, black leather and has the 18 inch Style 72's.

The faults:

- Oil leak from the oil filter housing

- No real service history

- x2 window regulators need replacing

- Interior fan not working

- Control arm bushes need replacing

- Foggy head light

- x4 curbed wheels

- 3 panels with supermarket dents

- 1 panel with a poor repaint

- Some trim missing of one of the rear doors

- Rain sensor not working

- Only 1 key (remote not working)

- Stone chips on the front

- The black trim/rain strip that attaches to the body is broken

It could be a good project car, but considering the above what do you think its worth?

I gave the Cooper S a bit of a birthday over the weekend. New pollen filter, new spark plugs, new leads and new coil pack, man this parts are cheap for this car. I think in total maybe 160USD including freight?

Id say they were the original plugs? They still have BMW stamped on them. How often are they meant to be replaced?

The car seems to pull better and rev better higher up in the revs now.

318 is ms were a commemorative model built in SA, I believe about 2500 cars built, all came manual, as sedans with 17" style 32's.

This does not include your regular run of the mill 318is'. Feel free to search this forum for previous posts regarding them.

If you search on the forum you will find I have provided a fair bit of info on these cars.

Here is one of the auto versions built in SA:

I guess you have a VIN decoder you can access?
