Awesome cars, if slightly overpriced for what they are imho. There seems to be a perception of rarity when the reality is that there’s probably almost 40 of them in NZ alone. With that being said, they’ve not depreciated in any meaningful way since they were new, which is unheard of really - consider an E9x M3 could have been had for low 20’s at their bottom. It’s always the same cars up for sale though, the garage queens don’t seem to come up for sale. There’s been a couple of sub 10K km cars go for around $90k which I think is probably where the market actually is.

There’s also a pair of FL baurs for sale, red and grey, so it’s a (shallow) buyers market.

Manual pedal box listed today on the E30 buy/sell FB page Elias. Tried to tag you but didn't work.

Didn't Sean have a thread on bs at one stage? I definitely recall a V8 E30 getting the facelift tail light panel getting stitched in because FL tails and PFL rear arches is the GOAT combo, but could have sworn that car was white at the time. The fog of memory I guess.

Would rather this (now sold) one https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/340i/listing/5312660284

I remember the 328i well! The new owner used to park in my building all the time.

One series looks ace! Still annoyed I missed out on that BMWP front bumper for sale recently.

Just realised I haven't washed the 335d once this year

That 3214… omg.

The top cars are still selling! Not surprising that didn’t last long.

1M and first gen M2 would like a word…

If you dilute 99% down to around 70% the evaporation process is much slower - ideal for when you want dwell time.

Exhaust headers look spicy! But what's going on with the step in the #4 primary?

80A is totally fine for a street driven E30 - I had purple Powerflex engine mounts / M3 offset LCA / 6x rear subframe / diff / rear suspension tops all in 80A and it was awesome. Gearbox can be a little too aggressive despite the theory that you should match them to the hardness of the engine arms.
