Also name your price.

No actually I didn't. I might give them a call tomorrow. My brother has his GTR insured with them on limited Ks per year. Pays about $200 a year and its insured for $40k.

Condition? Do you have an example of what it looks like? No doubt it'll look better than the shitty supercheapauto one I have now.. Im on the North Shore.

$85 usd excl shipping? Surely someone would have one lying around or even just standard gear knob?

I ended up going with AA with an agreed value of $5800 and excess of $500. $1850 for accessories (to cover wheels and tyres should they go missing) and I opted for Third Party, Fire & Theft and it costs $17 per fortnight. Works out at about $450 a year. Full comp was $880 per year with agreed value.

Not really after an illuminated one and they're pretty expensive on ebay! Not looking to spend too much.

After something along these lines. 5 speed to suit an E30 (though I think they're universal). Anyone got a spare or even just a non m spec 5 speed knob in good/perfect condition.

Thanks, yeah I'm looking into other options. Its expensive though and I don't want to break the bank. Might look at shortening shocks and compressing springs before going down the coilovers street.

Hey Nathan

Hi all, been registered for a few weeks but I haven't introduced myself or my car yet. My name is Sean Curran, I'm 22 from Auckland. I'm a Web Designer at Zeald. This is my NZ New 1989 BMW 316i E30. It has done 65,000kms original and its condition reflects that. Since buying it 2 weeks ago from a collector (who previously bought from an elderly lady whom has had it all its life), it's had a bit of pampering down at Platinum Wheels, North Shore. Current Modifications: New Monroe front shock absorbers King Superlow lowering springs Varrstoen V3 16x8 4x100 wheels Achilles ATR Sport 195/50/16s. Now looks like this: Future Plans: E90 drop hats in the front IS front lip 51mm strut tower conversion

Would they fit? Im trying to figure a way to drop the front a bit more as it sits way higher than the rear - I'm running King super lows.

I paid $5800 for mine with 65kms on the clock. Manual and mint inside and out.

I'll buy em straight off you?

They are still advertising 4 door kits on the auctions though? Tut tut.

Any idea of the cost involved?

Glovebox, sorry. I thought service key didn't open the glovebox, only the doors and ignition?

Looks like it was fairly painful to fit..

Can I get one directly from BMW if I have proof of ownership and the VIN? I have a service key for mine but no drivers key so sadly the glovebox is shut until I can get one. Any idea of the cost?

Im not in a rush to get one so maybe I'll wait until you finish yours. I cant even get hold of Driftmax to get real photos of the kit. The photos on Trademe are of real M-Tech IIs lol. Are you running a 4 door or 2 door?

Has anyone used one before? I'd like to see what they look like. Are they similar to the real thing?

I had a question about clearance and the offset being +25. How far out have 16x8s been pushed without guard rub? What tyres were you running? Thanks pldubs I'll have a look. I am pretty governed by budget at the moment though.

Just recently bought a 1989 E30 4 Door 316i. Immaculate inside and out. Looking to drop it pretty low on Varrstoen V3 16x8s front and rear on 205/45/16s. Has anyone run a similar setup to this? What suspension did you use? Im open to springs or coilovers. Let me know Cheers

If you do part it, I could be interested in some bits. How many ks are on the motor?

Agreed value for an E30 according to AMI and State is a maximum of $2900.. What a joke. I'll give Swann a call, thanks John.

Hi all. I've recently bought an 89 E30 4 Door. Im looking at insurance options at the moment. I was wondering what experiences you have all had with the various companies and what company you recommend to insure a slightly modified E30 (bodykit, wheels, suspension etc). Cheers
