Thanks!! I have requested to join them all!! I would have liked to have found a coupe for my son but they are always that much more in price. Besides he can't have the best car on the planet for his first car!! ;P

Thanks! Here is the options list on the E65, seems to have a truckload of goodies but not 100% on what parts are individual. It has Individual badges on the steering wheel, door sills and wheels. Options: XAB Individual R.s.infotainment 2VA Adaptive Drive 220 Self-leveling Suspension 255 Sports Leather Steering Wheel 302 Alarm System 316 Automatic Tailgate Operation 322 Comfort Access System 323 Soft Close Automatic System For Doors 357 Protective Glazing 358 Climate Comfort Windscreen 403 Glas Roof, Electric 415 Sunblind For Rear Window 416 Sunblinds 423 Floor Mats, Velour 428 Warning Triangle 430 Int/ext Rr Vw Mirror W Aut Anti-dazzle 431 Interior Rr Vw Mirror W Aut Anti-d 441 Smokers Package 442 Cupholder 456 Comfort Seats, Electric.

I'm wondering if this is the car used for the manual photos as it looks the same?? It was first registered in 2007 next to the BMW factory in Germany with only248Kms on the clock. It was then purchased by BMW NZ to be used for a feature car and bought by a Dr who barely drove it hence its super low KMs. So it was a 1 owner car and has all manuals and spare keys etc

OK, here is the daily driver.... E65 done only 27ks sitting on 20" Individual wheels. Looks black buts its actually green

Here is the sedan on its original wheels as it is now plus a shot of the nice tidy dash and sweet crack free dash.

Totally agree on the mini wheels, I only allowed him to put them on for the photos then the bottle caps went back on Ooohhh.... ok I'll check that on my car soon, Keen to know if its ok or not... Hmmmm is this a trap (re the E65) ;P I don't want to be kicked out of the cool kids club on my first day!!

Thanks that was too easy. So easy in fact I thought it can't be that easy!!! I've always had to use photobucket in the past and never remember my password haha CHEERS!!!!

This is my 86 E30 convertible. Body is totally rust free, I mean I can't find anything anywhere. Engine is sweet but has a few bits that are not original which I'll fix up over time. Interior is in excellent condition too but the dash is cracked unlike the sedan which is mint. It looks like its on lowered springs too. Only had it 2 days so still coming to understand it all. Still has the original handbook with it too which is always a nice touch.

This is my son's 89 E30 325i - 1 owner car with full and I mean full BMW service history. The old owner even photocopied the service pages when the handbook pages ran out. Engine purrs like a kitten but it needs some body work. It has tan leather interior too. The wheels didn't come with it, they are off my other son's new Mini )same stud pattern). The car runs standard bottle caps wheels. We just popped these on for the photos.

As soon as I get time to work all that out I'll get something up. I've searched for the "how to upload photos" info but not getting much other than people with problems trying. I'll work it out as I always do, it will just take some time so don't hold your breath!! ;P.

Thanks for the advice, I've been pretty picky with Ebay only getting OEM stuff and mainly cosmetic so not off track there thankfully. I've been using realOEM for finding part numbers then searching for that to make sure I get the right stuff. I've also been down to Brent (BM World) and picked up a fair stack of stuff from him too. I'll check out those other places too now. Didn't like Pelican as it was too hard to navigate?? Hahaha, well yeah, I can certainly see your point on the E65. This car is actually the BMW Germany show car they used to showcase the limo features for the long wheel base cars so its loaded with options in the SWB car and loaded with INDIVIDUAL features and badges all over. Only done 26,000 kms too. It does the job for a work hack anyway ;P

Hi all, I've been a long time BMW fan and only last year pick up my first one recommended by a friend (2005 740i). My son wanted an E30 for his first car so we found a one owner car with full BMW service history (89 325i sedan) and its become his fix up project until he is old enough to drive. While driving it home and around the place I grew to enjoy it a little too much and ended up buying myself and E30 too (86 325i Convertible) We are now a 3 BMW family and I'm loving driving the E30s. The sedan and the convertible need some work here and there so what better place to come than here to mix with the best best minds and most passionate people in the BMW world :). I hope to get some help and help others with anything BMW over time. I've been hitting Ebay pretty hard picking up parts etc but would like to also tap into any options locally too. My son and I are really looking forward to getting out with other owners and doing some weekend drives etc too. Might see you around on the forum pages..... Cheers Mat
