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.

Thought this was going to be a thread about the XM label red

Bro’s

If someone steals the 'uneconomical to ever sell' E30 I would be all over this in a heartbeat

@Kees Just saw this pop up in my feed:

I bet! Can’t imagine how well they go with an F20c

Had this little badboy for an amazing day in the sun today - Bday gift from the wife. So much fun - 140whp and 600kg is more than enough for me - made the E30 feel like driving a houseboat afterwards. Incredible steering and brake feel and the noise from the 4 banger 20V with ITBs and side pipe was truly savage. Would reccomend!

Missed these updates - wheels looking great and that belly shot!!

Stunning - would love a Lachsilber Tech 2 touring to park next to mine!

Very cool indeed, I suspect thats priced to sell, but who knows. Saw it a couple of years ago when I sold him the roof racks that came on mine.

No pics but exchanged waves with a clean looking white E24 in Northcote this morning, both of us out in the rain with our old bangers

Finally fixed my odometer gears and gave the cluster a mini tart up while I was at it with a polished cover and an Mtechnic tachometer gauge face. Kept it subtle and resisted the urge to paint the needles red 😂 Tried matte black cluster rings (2nd pic) but decided against them. Also had some new SI board batteries and capacitors but it all looked good and my soldering isn’t great so decided to not mess with it unnecessarily. Also troubleshooting a pesky ABS light, right before WOF time… does not appear to be sensors and the relays ‘look’ as good as new 🤔

No towing for me, wagon is big enough haha

Been a while as I don’t drive this too often - car has been reasonably faultless - only a service so far and steering rack knock fixed (common issue apparently). This weekend I took advantage of the nice weather, took a gulp and handed the wife the keys to the E30 and took the F31 solo camping at Tawharanui. Naturally feels like a Rolls Royce on the open road compared to the E30. Next mission I reckon I’ll take the E30 camping as pretty sure I can get all the same stuff squeezed in there and it will make for better photos haha.

Awesome! an Isle of Man Green G81 is an incredible looking car - perhaps not the most 'classically' beautiful, but a genuine head turner with insane performance and practicality 😎

A special car just got a little more special!

My favourite is their pride and joy they’ve owned for 3 months.
