    I think the metric here: what did the nz new black "bitsa" go for, and how much money and time would it take to get to the standard here?

    I personally can't stand mph speedos, so I can understand the swap, but why not just swap the gauge face itself if you're going to that length? The hardest part is lining up the needle correctly on the spindle when putting it back on.

     

    Rumour has it $60k.

    In this market, I would be buying clean e46's now and enjoying them.

    I think pretty much every classic car marque has taken a hit with the exception of 80s and 90s supercars. And with the sad situation in the ME, things could get worse in regards to Petrol prices. 

    E46 M3 manuals are down into the 40s and 50s even here in Australia. I just missed a convertible manual for $30k with 120kms on the clock.  But yes if I wanted to spend $30k on a car, an E46 M3 manual would be a lot of fun but maintenance would be a lot higher too compared to an E30 325i. I am almost tempted to sell my Mtech 1 in NZ to score an E46/E92 M3.

    Exchange rate, shipping, GST, etc would see this car at mid $50's landed in NZ.  And then compliance on top of that and who knows what gremlins could be hiding there!  I would fully expect to have $60k nzd into this car with a WoF and rego in NZ.

    It's up to you to figure out whether or not that number is good enough for this car.

    Unless someone who’s living in Aus buys it, keeps it for a year and then moves to Nz.  It will be about $2-3k for shipping and compliance provided the car is in sound condition.
