Hi
I was a member back in the early 2000s to around 2006 when I sold my old Avus blue 95 M3 to a guy on the Nth Shore. Well around 2 yrs ago I knew I needed to purchase another M3 (e36 / e46), so finally 2 weeks ago after being told an E46 M3 on autotrader was sold that day an E36 appeared on the site, no mucking around and a pre purchase at Dunedin BMW that was ok but not enough to scare me off as some in the past, I brought another E36 M3. This time a 93 , same colour and about the same kms I sold my last one at 10yrs ago
The Car
1. 1993 Avus Blue 3.0l, 154000kms
2. Service history with BMW to 83000kms, from 83k until now Midas
3. Full Milltek exhaust system - original was in the back of the car, with some ceramic pads and new front lights
So arrived Thurday last week and in the shop Monday for a few bits and pieces
1. New front rotors and pads
2. New rear shock mounts and bump stops
3. A/C Re-gas
4. Wheel refurb
5. New rear brake pads - had a horrible rattle rear left like I was towing a trailer and only happened on the chip seal roads, turned out it was missing clips on the rear pads
To do
1. Water pump - anyone know where I can get a water pump that wont set me back $725?, no mention of this on pre purchase, just mention that there was some dry water marks
2. Leather resto
3. Re fix door cards
4. Apparently some play in steering rack
5. Rear main seal might be leaking - also wasn't mentioned on pre purchase, this one kind of annoys me , don't know how this was missed
Paul
