The JIL is actually a safety certification, and is JWL, it just looks like JIL. It stands for Japan Light Alloy Wheel

Is this still available? I texted you today. Cheers, Josh

Crickey that's a yarn and a half. $20,000 should sell pretty quick hah.

Haha, sorry I didn't notice that was a link. Well played hah

I do...

It's a manual, but apparently drives fine and "only really slips in 3rd". Does that make sense? How would they pick it up in a Wof, surely they wouldn't reach 3rd gear going into the shed with it? And engine was replaced due to a snapped crank shaft. Any thoughts, as always, would be appreciated

Completely agree with you. But it's done on every listing, so who knows what manual means. I think I'll drop looking at this. $30,000 would be worth a look, but not what he's looking at.

Yep was thinking that - I'm assuming you would put manual for the description for either box, so who knows what manual means

Cheers guys Didn't know what to think of the clutch price, whether cheap or expensive. I've just sold my E46 M3 couple of months ago to be sensible, realised I don't do sensible, so on the hunt it is. I'm just looking at this, and with a few k thrown at it, it comes up to the same price as those with less miles and don't need to do any work. HMMMM

Just wondering if there's any opinions on this M3 The fact that it's had an engine rebuild/swap at 90kms + needing a new clutch now leads me to think that it's been thrashed. And is $5,000 accurate for a new clutch done at BMW? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1142740224.htm I'm guessing stay away from this one, but would be interested if anyone knows anything Cheers, Josh

Here is a couple more pics with the Apex's. didn't include them due to not wanting to attract too much attention to them, but that didn't really help hah.

Thanks very much guys. I don't know how much luck I want though haha

How many you got, age, mileage etc. Hah =)

Howdy Unfortunately am selling my M3 due to growing family Will do $26,000 for a member that will look after it. All details in Trademe post Any Questions, just flick me a text. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1112506942 Cheers, Josh

I've found a 335i that I could be keen to buy, so if anyone is looking at buying this, $27,000 and she's yours.

Mate - I don't doubt you at all. I had an E90 before this M3 (and two E46's before that). Dad has a 545, partner drives an 120i, Mum drives an E46. All in all, we love our bimmers, and I know how much of a step up this car is, compared to the non M's. I absolutely love my car, and if possible, I would never sell it - It's been a dream of mine to have since I was a teenager. Owning it has been a pleasure. Unfortunately life gets in the way As mentioned, there is a genuine reason for the trade, I just don't want to make it too public. With the inevitable happening, I may as well enjoy some power that the 335 has to offer! Thanks for the input, but preaching to the choir haha

Thanks mate - appreciate it!

More pics of interior

Looking at trading my E46 M3 for 335i Wagon M3 is NZ New Manual 157xxx kms Alpine White on Black Leather Koni Yellow All Round Can Come on original springs or H & R's New Rear rotors and Pads (yet to be fitted) 19" M3 wheels or Apex Arc 8 Alcantra knob, boot, and hand brake + boot Have more pics, interior was just taken when cleaning, only pic of interior I have on me right now Really not looking for anything else other than 335i LCI, so please don't ask for trades for anything else. Only possibility would be a diesel variant. Very sad to be writing this, but genuine reason behind it. I will discuss on proper inquiry. Feel free to PM for any questions Cheers, Josh

Thanks very much team, hugely appreciated! have decided against it, just think a bit too much work to get it up to scratch with some others that have been about for same $$$ even with the M3 drought in Trademe right now =(

Thanks for that - I live in Tauranga, so going up to Auckland is not always so easy. Did you take a drive by chance? I found out it's NZ new, which is a huge bonus

Yeah it was $29K coming into xmas I think. I did email them and put an offer with trade in on the table, didn't hear anything back, so never bothered

Looking at the amount of M3's for sale now in comparison to two months ago is unbelievable. I think there's 4 on TradeMe right now (not including verts), 2 SMG and two (from what I can see) overpriced manuals. Maybe it's in relation to the lack of them for sale 'warrants' a higher price?? This car does seem well priced for what it is though... I am finally in the position after dreaming for a few years, but I don't know if I could bring myself to SMG. I feel like I would still be left wanting.

Has anyone had a proper look at this car? It's been on and off TradeMe for a while now, and seeing the interest the 160xxx M3 is getting, I'm assuming that there is a reason that this hasn't sold? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-933452932.htm Any info/opinions would be appreciated Cheers

How did the inspection go? I've been looking at this, I see it's still on trade me, so maybe not so well??
