Was that NZ's biggest ever E61 M5 meet???

It’s a rod bearing support group.

Autospot think they've found the next R32 GTR

This looks like NZ?

Wellington. I’m guessing the 1985 edition?

Hey @leichtbau did you ever end up getting some work done? I too am needing some panel beating done for my E30 so if you recommend any places please let me know. Thanks 

Been busy with the mechanical side of things so haven't pulled the trigger, but I've inspected some of the work Coast Panel & Paint have done on E30's and E24's and been mighty impressed. Might send something else there in January and see how it turns out.

Couple locals for a catch up last night

Taste the Rainbow!

It's got pre facelift front and rear metal valances. More likely a tail light panel swap.

Call me Ishmael...

Yea was thinking maybe you'd heard from the new owner about selling. There's a tidy black one with cloth on TM that's been sitting for absolutely ages at $8K.

Just out of curiosity how much are you looking to spend?

Certain black one back for sale??

E30's will have really jumped the shark when all those discarded series cars get their cages chopped out to get put back on the road.

Rust:

• Engine bay battery tray
• Front scuttle panel near the elephant drain
• Bulkhead underneath the fuse box
• Rear inner arches - will be seen from inside the boot
• Rear battery box
• Sunroof drains and panel
• Front guards especially if a kit is over the top
• Front inner wings - spreads from the guards
• Front and rear arch leading edges
• Sills / jacking points
• floor - most mechanics over the years have mistaken the cups where the chassis was attached to the production line as jacking points, so the underseal splits and traps all sorts of muck, which leads to
• Accelerator pedal mount
• Jacking points
• Bootlid lip seal attachment point - most will be like swiss cheese
• Rear tail light attachment points
• And finally, the terminal one, which is the roof. Any E30 with visible bubbles in the roof is worth more as tin cans.

Stunning, Macao blue is a special colour!

Keen on exhaust. Part out?

Sweet, I’ll take the wheels and rear wing!

The LM106 (now model number 276 with the PFS system) is 8.5'' ET18, but I've never seen a set of low offset 17" LM's here. You can flip the barrels on the 17x8" 098's to go from ET40 to ET26, plenty of them around, I've had three sets so far.

Did the front fall off?

Love this mirage super touring https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/mitsubishi/auction-2869135919.htm

BMW P stuff looks great! That mirror is P I M P.

Gotta be quick to snag 318iS seats 😉

Few F40's here in NZ though which is cool.  I think the one in this photo I took was owned by that drug dealer who got caught.

 

Are we walking about Ka Kit Yim or the Drummer from AC/DC 😂
