I took a shell to the scrappys on the back of the Tech1. Moved flats a few times too with it a few years ago now. If there wasn't a huge hole in the rear apron, id remove it but do like the idea of my car not being written off so easily if i ever get rear ended.

Id be pulling out the clutch fan and putting in an electric fan. A fan switch from an E36 compact will have the right temperature on and off settings and should bolt in to those free port on the radiator end tank.

Its basically to free the pins up. I used a reamer the same size as the pin. its just to remove the material of the bush down to how it should be as it swells up over time.

Just pull the detent pins and ream the bushes out. This is what Kayne Barrie told me he did. I've done it on two S5D 310z's now and worked well.

After a set of 16x7 style 5 wheels but will consider individual wheels in any condition with caps or not. These came on E39's only. I will also consider the 16x8 version off E38's or even the 15x7 E34 ones if cheap enough. Let me know what you have.

My one I offered you ticks all those boxes but with what you want to spend, you'd need to be looking at 4 door sedans only. Does it have to be a coupe?

Yes they are interchangeable. I have some Koni adjustables from an E30 series car that I am willing to part with. These are adjustable at the top and in the car as opposed to the proper E30 Konis that require you to remove from the car to adjust.

Yip that was mine. It was a really clean car underneath but jeez I didn't think it was worth what he's asking for it now. Needed a lot of paint work to bring it up to being a minter.

Definitely has all the signs of being a 85 car like no side indicators and the old engine to body loom adaptor etc but when you look at the rear guards and lights, they are Facelift. Looks like a FL shell has had near everything swapped in to it from the 85 car. Or they really have put the lower rear PFL guards and lights section on to the old car which seems unlikely. Id easily be able to tell what's up if i had the car in front of me.

Here's the old posts. Looks as if its been sitting on TradeMe for over four years now. Crazy. 1987 M3 E30 Evolution1 NZ new! - TradeMe discussions - bimmersport.co.nz Anyone seen this beauty - RHD E30 M3 - TradeMe discussions - bimmersport.co.nz If I was to one day get an M3, I wouldn't mind it being RHD as it would make it so much better to drive on our roads. I've been stuck many times behind imported LHD Camaros & Mustangs etc who cant pass the truck or campervan in front of them on the open road. They just have to sit there at 80kph while Nissan Micras pass them both. Then again, if I was to spot a RHD M3 driving past, my first thought would be "is that a 318i with a fiberglass kit?"

Your car will be awesome once the M42 is in there. Will perform as good, if not better than a 325i. I have an early E36 non EWS DME if you need one. Also, have a copied Turner/Mark D chip to suit too.

Correct. Seemed to be the next best option for me when finding good condition E30 sport seats is next to impossible.

Thanks Richard. At the end of the day I realised I wasn't going to do what I wanted with it which was a 318is replica so thought best to move it on. Having it sit on the side of the road under trees was taking is toll on it. I hadn't done too much to it, just the seats, LSD and a taco cluster. Wanted to tidy up the bits where the paint was rough but thought it wasn't worth my time and money involved to do that. I may regret selling it one day just like the last coupe I sold. A basic spec M42 E30 coupe has always been a dream of mine.

Its not too tidy, needs paint work in places but the body was solid. Also, it is just a 316i at the end of the day. I thought it was a fair price and I'm happy with it.

This was mine. Sold in 15 minutes of listing it. The guy is flying down today from yes, you've guessed it, Auckland. Maybe I sold it too cheap. Factory manual, new clutch, Fresh LSD, full black leather and flew through a VTNZ wof the day before.
