Not a bad option, definitely worth a look.

Hello, im looking to buy an e30 in the very near future, and have come across a couple different options. I’m not looking to spend a massive amount of cash as the 135i clubsport car eats all my money, so a manual 325i is out the question. that being said so far options are (all manual or will be swapped to be manual), m20b20 or a m44 swapped one. Anyone have much experience with these engines? What suits the car better. I don’t need fast (the 135i is plenty fast for when I want that) but I want fun and rewarding to drive, something that you can wring the power out of. Open to modifying the engine too cams etc but no forced Induction, want to keep the N/A revving character. if I went m20b20, b25 swap is something I’d consider doing. but yeah looking for recommendations, experiences etc with m20s, m44s, or even other budget friendly options in an e30 specifically. cheers!

Wanting to buy an E30. Looking to spend around 7-8k max. prefer something with as little rust as possible, preferably manual. Don’t mind coupe or sedan. Don’t mind mechanical issues etc. Would rather something with mechanical issues than a whole bunch of rust. cheers.

Price drop. $8000 ONO for bimmersport members. or swaps for a tidy e30. great opportunity to get a hard to find car.

Glad to see you’re recovering, I ride bikes as well and can only imagine how gnarly that crash must’ve been. Recently had to carry my mate to a helicopter in a stretcher at the top of coronet peak in Queenstown, never a fun time. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

@BigPoppa have updated my listing for the 330d with more photos now.
-
Unfortunately not much at all, previous owner (old guy who owned the car for a long time) misplaced the service records and wasn’t able to find them. that being said, happy to arrange viewings, test drives etc. Car drives really well.
-
Finally got round to getting some photos. 9000ono for bimmersport members before I list it on trademe, Facebook etc. 330d, not to be confused with the 320d, this one has the far superior m57 straight six. Incredibly hard to find in wagon form.
-
Will get some better photos in the near future!
-
Not a whole lot has changed with the car recently, just been enjoying driving it. Made up a little shifter surround cover for the rtd shifter and wrapped that in Alcantara to match the radio delete plate. As well as removing the idrive controller and making it match as well.
-
Yeah saw it on turners not long ago, was tempted to use it for parts for the mrs 130i haha.
-
This the one from turners end of life? Or Mannheim?
-
Can get some later on

Hi, it’s a 2006 330d, nz new, full sunroof, cruise control, parking sensors, black leather interior, electric seats. Titan Silver color. 18inch Factory alloys. M57 Engine (arguably BMWs best). Completely stock. 6speed zf auto. (touareg not included)
-
I’ve got a 330d e91 I’d consider selling, done 160k kms which if you know much about m57 engines is fairly low kms for one.
-
Unfortunately not, a manual 330d touring would be more or less impossible to find here in nz. However they’re not too hard to manual convert if you can find the parts. Have done so on a 135i coupe of similar vintage.

Potentially looking at selling my wagon before I spend a whole lot of money on it. very hard to find diesel wagons here in nz particularly nz new ones. 2006 330d: Nz new, Black leather interior, electric seats, parking sensors, cruise control (I think will have to confirm), sunroof (functions perfectly). 18 inch optional wheels. current wof and rego, 16x,xxx kms. RUC will be up to date. Drives great only considering selling as I’ve got two other cars and don’t really need a third, and I know if I keep it I’ll spend a bunch of money on it doing m sport conversion, tune etc etc. these are very very hard to find, similar spec 335d albeit lci is listed for 14-15k, so price is roughly based off that considering it’s not lci and it’s a 30d not a 35d. located Auckland north shore, welcome to view, overall fairly tidy car but obviously has some marks here and there as you’d expect. $9000 or happy to consider swaps for other interesting/cool cars
-
Sweet will keep that in mind if I can’t find anything prefacelift.
-
Yeah I messaged him but unfortunately most of the m sport stuff is sold already, but will keep an eye out
-
Yeah that’s true, again that was in an ideal world, I’d be happy to settle for one with the Alcantara interior, can always swap that out for leather at a later date. More so after the front and rear bumpers, sill trims, interior headlining/pillar trims in black, steering wheel, steering wheel trim etc etc for context i have recently bought a e91 330d which is exceptionally hard to find. Lovely car but unfortunately not m sport so would like to do an m sport conversion on it.
-
Looking to buy a e91 m sport car, preferably Titan silver, with sunroof, black headlining, leather electric seats, and 18inch m sport wheels. not looking for a working car, will be used for parts, something like a blown up 320i, or car with damaged gearbox, no engine etc. must be m sport, bonus if it’s got a cool coloured leather interior such as brown or red.
-
2006, M57, black leather interior, electric seats, sunroof, parking sensors, no idrive, not m sport, titan silber, 160k kms, wof rego, ruc up to date. I have 3 cars so don’t really need this one.
-
Have found one cheers
-
I May consider selling my 330d touring
-
Yeah for sure at the bottom of the depreciation curve. Not expecting to get big $ for it, contemplating wether I sell it now as i don’t really need it or I wait till I find a cheap m sport 320i with a blown engine and swap everything across, and keep it for a bit.
