Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?
balancerider replied to E30 325i Rag-Top's topic in TradeMe discussions
Sure but I’d still rather enjoy my one than daily an E30 -

@adronice example. I find it slightly astonishing that a 25 year old re-registered car is 'worth' more than my touring though -
What if you were to own a BMW car that's electric? Paging @Breaker

it's ludacriss 😂

Mine started life with orange indicators but personally I prefer the Euro style clear lights. 19 year old N42 is good going I would have thought...

Don't mind a bit of Orientblau E46 touring (though yours has a better engine). HAY357 still alive and kicking 8 years after I sold it though

Would be cautious about the EGR delete @Herbmiester - You might have a pretty expensive driveway ornament if the govt decide that they want to enforce emissions testing

GFJ249 spotted in Welly today

A rather nice sounding E32 740iL on BBS

Silver E34 535i in Petone this morning
-
I actually quite like this (in this colour and the purple). Can’t wait til Bridgestone Turanza’s aren’t an OEM tire on a 400hp car though… 😳

You know Jon is good when it’s 250k each way to get the car serviced!

Lime Rock Grey F80 M3 CS outside Moore Wilson's this afternoon 😍
-
The market will decide but fully agree @Michael. - be lucky to get 100k, won’t be easy / cheap to return to stock and BMW won’t be keen to honour the warranty (given remap) if something goes bang…

The Akrapovic exhaust doesn't bother me but the air suspension and ugly ass wheels can FRO. Also M5's are meant to be driven but hard pass on one treated like that

E60 M5, 550i MS, 550i LCi E63 M6, 650i

truly outstanding commitment. i think you must have balls of steel to run an N62 as your 'reliable' engine. -
@simplysimon impressive thread resurrection. If you enter your VIN into RealOEM it should tell you what the gearbox is

manual LHD one would fetch good money in Europe / US one imagines...

@E30 325i Rag-Top please tell me they've given you an iX to use 😂

@adro's E46 in Newtown...looking good!
-
E28 in Hataitai
-
Ooooh that's nice. Lachssilber is maybe the best E30 colour and I like how stealthy it is, no flared arches...
-
@Harper this is the definition of OEM+. Seats look great, hard to go past for a weekend car.

Facelift is definitely the way to go (ZF 8 speed vs a 6 speed in the PFL). How short would your round town journeys be? Might start to run into difficulties with never getting up to temp/carbon build up and the economy isn't going to be amazing either. The diesels are nicer to drive due to the torque though. My N57-engined car (same as 40d) takes 13-18km to get to temp (mix of round town and motorway running)

Loading NZ Maps on G20 M340d (UK Import)
balancerider replied to fred_'s topic in Audio & In Car Entertainment
What did the dealer quote you out of interest @fred_? Given the online integration of the newer models it could be more cost effective to get the car 'converted' to NZ model then use online map updates
