The thing that seems to be forgotten is that all of the 325i's have basically the same running gear (maybe an LSD or close ratio box?) So a "base" 325i will preform the same as a 325is/325i sport. Of course an m3 isn't a kids car, its a $50k car...

I also agree with the comments about price vs condition, also who puts reps on a $15k car?

Added a price, please tell me if i'm mad...

Here we have a 2000 facelift e38 728i, with a 2.8l m52tu. It has a current rego and wof. It is in pretty good condition for it's age and mileage.

• Still has all of the tools.

I have decided if I cannot get a great E30, I may settle for a Z4 coupe... that is the one with the hard top. They look quite aggressive but will 1st try and get the perfect E30

Hmmm....

Having a cold and a blood nose at the same time. And a test in 10 minutes

this post got me looking through ever e38 on trademe.. (searching e38 is no good.. gotta go thru each 728i 730i 740i etc)

theres a HUGE price gap some $1000 some $8000 and the s7 variant for $25000 or something.

all I know is I want one. but I also know it wont fit in my garage, nor should I have such a big car after selling the e class which I thought was big enough..

sigh still want one...

I've got an facelift 728i that will be for sale once I've gotten over this cold so I can finish washing it...

Location?

Most likely Hastings?

no another one , its complete , its brown and dusty , and only done about 100ks

reg on hold , looks sad , and probably will have its heart ripped out for a another e28

You're just teasing us now

how?

Baking soda + water and a tooth brush

I know there was one that went for a swim recently...

I've got Style 4s on mine, 16x8 ET20 is correct. Front tyres are really close to the shocks, but look good!

That looks fantastic (and that's why I bought style 4s). I did read about the shocks. What tires did you use?

Does the gearbox have a removable bell housing?

9Jx17 et26 is ok on the rear as long as you roll the guards. Front 8Jx17 et20 will JUST fit. This is my experience with style 32s

17s are too big imho. 16s are just right.

I'm putting style 4s on my e28, 16x8 et20 I believe. And they are supposed to just fit with careful tire choice.

Cleaned the reverse lights

Got an e38 to sell on behalf.

Rocking a set of 18" style 32s

These photos are pre-clean.

I would be interested in your m30 box.

ps I also have a m30b28 engine for sale was a really good runner from a 528i e28 if you want to go that way.

I assume I would need a cert for that though? (or is this a case of what they don't know doesn't hurt them...)

I'll be keeping the m30 box until I get a replacement so I at least have some kind of manual transmission.

What model is the zf box?

Hi everyone

The Getrag 260 that came with my car has the wrong bellhousing on it (m30 instead of m20), so I am looking to buy either a:

• Getrag 260
• Getrag 265
• Getrag 240
• Getrag 245
• ZF S5-16

All with either an m20 bellhousing or removable bellhousing and either the holes for the sensors or the ability to have the holes added.

Also a matching driveshaft and shift linkage would be good too.

EDIT: and the cross member

Thanks

Was the first owner of this car based in Wellington ? ( MT Victoria or Wgtn City Terrace)

If so it was on old boss's car and I drove it a number of times in the 80s :-)

Probably, the guy I bought it off was in Wellington.

Still also looking for a gearbox and shift linkage

Have you had a look here?

Got an exhaust...

I really like Rays project - it is cool because it is different and a classy stretch of the m3 story but I reckon the m3 dynasty would be diminished by a factory wagon variant. The four door sedan is a stretch.......I would have one but the m3 is at its peak as a two door on the track.

What about the m5 though? That makes more sense as a factory touring.
