    G'day,

    Selling my 2004 Facelift 330ci M sport.  

    DDY480

    VIN: WBABD52020PM09452

    Lots of good options, too many to list.

    137000kms on the clock. 

    Very unique colour combo and interior trim and it's come off a production line in Germany.  Previous owner owned it for 10 years and has a service stamp from BMW Germany (was apparently used as a display car).  

    I have owned it since August last year but unfortunately I have to sell it as I am moving to Australia in May and I will be unable to take the car with me (need to own it for a year at least). 

    The car is in good mechanical condition minus a couple of small bits - Left front headlight washer has a leak (very common issue).  Right front Fog light has a crack - I have a replacement fog light available which I will include in the sale. Right rear bump stop is worn. 

    Cosmetically - the bonnet is faded, front bumper has a few stone chips and theres a small dent most likely from a supermarket trolley or a tow bar ball.  Rear window outer rubber trim needs replacing ( I have the replacement trim available and included in the sale). 

    I serviced the car myself in September last year (Liqui Moly oil, oil filter and cabin air filter change).  I also installed a K&N panel filter.  

    Comes with two keys and service books. 

    I am asking $8000 firm for bimmersport members. SMS me on 021 1804565 or send me a pm on this forum.

    They have two others listed, a red one sold at 250k (NZ$100k) and a black one still for sale at 200k (NZ$80k) which does make the white one look like good buying.

    Yes NZ E30s are a bit over-priced on world market but you are taking a punt on buying overseas when you can travel to see it!

    I did see the errors. I have a friend who lives in Dubai who has bought a car off the company. But who’s to say that he may have a couple of legit deals and some dodgy ones? But if I did live in Dubai - I would have pursued this further.

    I wouldnt touch BM workshop personally, had too many issues. Basic sh*t being butchered a few times there. 

    I have had a similar issues with BM workshop.  I have had the E28 come back from service with missing bolts, only to find them somewhere else in the engine bay.  Never went there again.  My sister took her F20 328i there for a service - got quoted $950 to replace the rear pads and rotors.  She decided to take it to AA down the road instead - got charged $600 for the same job. Best part is AA got the parts from BM workshop.

    Few posts above - sold on 13th December for $46,100 - basically the reserve.

    I recall there was only one or two bids as well - I was surprised as I thought it might push $50K.

    Still got the patched up bolsters.

    I'm not sure what they are trying to do with the plates - was NND548 last year now under NZT846 in Carjam (with no other plate history on carjam despite being re-registered at least once) but has a plate registered to an Audi in one of the pics? 

    I think they've mistimed this a little, judging by the 4 very very nice E30's on TM for $30k plus starting to gather dust, I have a feeling the E30 market has plateaued for now (as soon as I bought mine of course haha).

    I think so too. But the demand is still there and will be in the future. I get plenty of young people (in their teens and early 20s and even kids) ogling at the E30 and E28 on a regular basis. So when these people hit their 30s and 40s and have some disposable income… but I am speculating. 
     

    I think that silver Mt1 one was a steal at $46k. Even if the dealer now sells it for $56k, that’s still a decent profit.

    Remove BBS RS, replace with reps, add M42 - profit?

    https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-3385016000.htm
     

    Now $43k after an engine swap and wheels flogged off.

     

     

    He is advertising it as a 318is. That’s false advertising. No different to someone putting M3 badges on their car and advertising it as one. 
     

    edit: got changed after I asked the question.

    Yep I refused a $20k offer.  I didn’t even entertain any overseas buyers but had a couple from Aus and Hong Kong.  If it came down to it, I will sell the E30 before the E28.  The E30s are more in demand and I am more attached to my E28 due to sentimental reasons. 

    I think this specimen is worth $25-28kish. But the dealer needs to take some better pics.  If I were to buy this (I am trying really hard to convince my Brother in law to get this) I would put some gold BBS wheels with wider stance at the back, upgrade the suspension and brakes and some subtle M stripes to give it that proper 80s racing look.  

    They are absolutely fabulous cars to drive especially with that M30 engine. With some suspension upgrade and some better brakes, they handle well. It’s just that the demand is not there as most people that are wanting an E30 haven’t driven these or the E24 version. Even the E34 is lagging way behind but at least the 540is would probably be doing well now.

    Edit: here’s mine being used as a wedding car as requested by my sister. 
    and a white one in Au I think.

    A little sobering to think 12 months later my budget for this has more than doubled...

    At least my house has 'gone up' $300K 

    I had a 2014 F20 116i which I paid $30k for in 2017. In 2018 a black Mtech 1 came up for sale for $18.5k, so I put the F20 up for sale for $24k. Luckily I sold it within two weeks and I went straight away and picked up the Mtech 1 ($16k after bargaining and letting the previous owner keep a lot of extra parts that weren’t original to the car). $16k for this car was asking top dollar in 2018 but I always wanted a black Mtech 1 and didn’t mind paying for an overpriced car at that time. (The asking price of $18.5k at that time put a lot people off and I was the first to go see the car). 

    Moral of the story, the longer you wait, the more you will have to budget. If you see one that’s ticking all the boxes, just pull the  trigger.

    Also used to have one in early 2000's doing a lot of bent sprints at Ruapuna. On 18 psi, Cold air box, 3" exhaust, stock top mount I/C, ran 12.6 on hot day, and road tyres. Awesome little cars and something a bit different to Evo's and WRX's. (apologies for stealing thread)

    Nice! 
    I lost my licence twice thanks to GTiR + Young, dumb and full of cum. I should have invested in an E30 M3 instead.

    I also went with Classic Cover for both my GTi-R and the N54 converted 130i ( all declared).  Happy with agreed value, premiums and excess. Upfront premium is only thing to consider.

    GTiR? Nice! I had one in my boy racing days.  Ran 15 psi on practically a fully stock car and it used to pretty much blow everything else way including a mid 12 sec evo 1.
