leichtbau

Spied that this morning, and it did pique my curiosity. Though a 6spd is the same price (with pdc!) currently... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/130i/listing/3096399403

I have some questions for the 130i thread tomorrow re: the pair of silver 2006 6spds with the same owner...

Yeah, what's up with all those welds? Going for the steampunk look?

Poor attempt at pie cuts.

The white M325i Tech II started at $32500 correct, with a buy now of $36000. Which was quickly pressed and the car on the way to a new home by 12.38pm, just four hours after listing.

@Ghost Chip @E28E30

I saw the actual receipts but the seller gave a rough rundown...

Drool! Where was that listed?

@leichtbau Where was the white Tech 2 listed? looks tasty

Was on trademe, and prior to that, trademe and the E30 FB Classifieds 18 months ago for $40K. Been through a couple of owners since a friend did a full rebuild @313km. $15K spent on the motor alone, over $45K was spent from top to tail, new leather, new seat foam, custom hidden bluetooth stereo with sub box along with period correct headunit, full koni suspension + bushing refresh, new steering rack etc etc.

Was probably put to market about a year too soon initially, and the buy now later was far far far too cheap. It's level above the $64K red one.

So red M325i Mtech 2 was $64K

Black M325i Mtech 2 was $52k

Silver M325i Mtech 1 was $40k

 

Add this to the list for $36K(?) But buy now was hit inside 6hrs...

Looks awesome! Cerium Oxide on the exterior to get the fronts looking like new.

Pro Form Double Manual Cartridge Gun? As pictured.

Ah totally forgot about that thread Jon! I'll repost there.

Does anyone have a gun I could borrow please? Happy to pay a deposit / trade you a box of beers etc. Auckland based.

Part number is 83 19 2 420 029 wonder if it's been activated out at Highbrook yet?!

I think so? What doesn’t look right to you? 

Yep you're good -  my bad. I thought they were directional as well as asymmetric.

2 in 1 🤔

@adro are your rear tyres on correctly?

Now that's a great buying story!

That is awesome! Paint it Inka and we're at 10/10

Parked outside Dressmart. 

I used to house sit in St Mary's Bay beside this 15 years ago, great to see it's still around.

@leichtbau she is certainly a temptress!

 

Wrong fuel type

Wrong number of doors

Wrong decade

And yet here I am hovering over that buy now 🤔

@Ghost Chip I know you were also looking at E36.

this is priced on the high side but looks pretty special and IMO, well worth it:

https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-3104481518.htm

Rare colour, seems immaculate, tastefully modified - stunning.

 

 

Stunning indeed. You'd have to be nuts to consider any E30 on TM currently over this gem.

Rarest of the rare 18" forged Schnitzer typ 1's notwithstanding, turns out its had an S70 and 6sd swap too.

Haha hmm may have ended up with an expensive 325i SE in similar circumstances  

OOooooooo. Well on the bright side, there's no such thing as over paying for a classic car, there is such a thing as selling too early.

Am thinking $50200 

Auction close time is always something to be considered, so someone might get a bargain!

I got sad and poured wines when my bid on the red one at $43k was passed! That was gooD viewing though 

I lead for a while early in the piece but knew it was going to be a record breaking auction so had no real hopes of owning it. Pouring wines at $43K was dangerous, you might have ended up owning it!

@Harper project thread is a great idea!

Sweepstake?

I'm game! I picked the red m325i to get to $60K so I'll go with $48.5K.

As an aside, what is with all the Hamish's suddenly bidding on E30's on TM? My best mate of the same name is also after an M325i but wants a specific colour.
