Sammo

Stretched the legs earlier this morning and gave her a fair bit of jandal over a solid 4-5 hours seat time down to Karioitahi beach then up the Āwhitu peninsula - such a stunning rural / coastal setting and the roads are sufficiently twisty and deserted too. Got some good pics with the E46 up here 3 years ago and essentially recreated half of them with the E30 😂 Great way to start another perfect summers day, off to the beach now and then time to clean the car again for a meet tomorrow.

These things are like cash haha

Trade Me favourites email from 2010 had some tasty cars and tasty prices on it:

@Contrails 🤔

After getting a new wheel bearing and sorting the outstanding thermostat bits, have just been enjoying driving the car lately in the great weather and a fantastic run of big Auckland meets. Still saving my pennies for rust and respray over winter but still looking good and singing sweetly in the meantime.

One for @balancerider

Nice!

Am trying to get him to come along to the Feb Meguiars meet

Terrible photo sorry as carpark lights are in holiday mode - a work colleague has a Tech 1 M325i. @hybrid Josh - think it may be next off the production line after yours?!

$22,900 for a written off M325i - seems pretty crazy!

Ponsonby Road, spiced up SC or 964? I wouldn’t say no!

325ix

944 Turbo - looked well used too.

Spotted this morning in Cronulla - totally unrestored Torana GTR in the right colour:

Yeah, he was at the Jahre event - I seem to recall he's been dailying it for yonks? Surely takes more than that to write off a $30k plus car?

It appears someone got a deal!

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/325i/listing/4463526583 Covid era pricing but this thing does look every inch a brilliant example. I love them in red.

Probably - I'm missing a couple of those clips

Saw that - looks like a great build, imagine it owes him plenty but yeah, I would think in this market its much closer to $25k than $40k. A shame it must be certed on 14x6.5 wheels with an M52.

Looks great mate, I wondered who had snagged that one. Is the car in Auckland still? Would love to check it out sometime.

For richer or poorer 😂

Car back from a WOF and a few niggles… End links Balljoints Alignment Waterpump and belts Crank sensor Has to go back before Xmas (after parts arrive) for: Thermostat / Cover / Housing / Coolant Hose Just as well I love this little shitbox!

The rarest of rare - 333i with a Tech 2 kit 🙃 https://www.rosecitycars.co.nz/vehicle/1986-BMW-Other/11955?s=1&fbclid=IwAR3mR2oKEOI-vQHROlVxoGZ7w0JioNjTcpk1EinucF2-tlxqjo1ePixvsHI Not sure why you would not return to stock and present as an original car if you had all the bits with it.
