E28E30

@E30 325i Rag-Top Too right Jon! I think they’re the same colour, my Kiwi friend works for BMW in Munich and the new one is his latest work lease car, the E30 is his mates’ car recently repainted. I think but may be wrong, Malachite Green.

You’re very kind @Cammsport . Thank you, it looks great polished up as it was that day. @Ghost Chip am thinking I would like a factory manual…

Hmm might have to use a friend when I sell mine…

Damn am not on the social

Crikey were these on TMe?

Kudos!

Car looks super tidy @hqstu. Did you get the underbody dry ice cleaned and if so was it expensive?

Aww thanks Sam @Sammo it tries Its best for 31, “patina” up close in places but pretty fine

Wow! I admit to liking the interior on the whole. Shameful of me? https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-3281389063.htm

The BMW online store has 340ix Tourings at about $140k. Maybe that’s current stock only? For interest started the Configurator and the starting price before any options for one is $152835 as you say, hmm!

Style 360 off an E39? I Googled the number 1095339-7

They look a bit like the base wheels that were on E87 LCI base models (non-SE), but may be bigger. What size rims?

Hmmm Matt 😕 @balancerider

Hmm I wonder if anyone at the main dealer knows the old BMWs?

Agree

Looks great Jonathan @325_driver , it is an interesting colour I think suits that shape esp. with those alloys

https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-3259981362.htm check out the air vents @Brianr70 too!

Ah true @APT

Looks great eh @Simca? When I was at intermediate and early high school my friend’s mother had one the same in Bronzit Beige, with check cloth I think. May have had Momo alloys. It was FLAAAAAASH as

They’re great cars but all have usual issues, eg central locking packs up door by door, AC compressor fails, rattley flywheels, but they also are quick enough, spacious and economical if you want them to be. Have had about 46 cars, settling for the Golf for now is a happy place

Your brother is having a rough time of it @Driftit !

@Kees you’re kind haha. Red is a b#*ch right? It looks pretty good, up close it has the usual signs of a life lived, but is pretty nice. The Golf is an early NZ new Mark 5, and I think they are just Monza (charcoal grey inside spokes) and the Monza Shadows had black inside spoke holes and were for the Mark 6 (just Googled it since you asked…) they’re the 18” factory option style and designed to be curbed 😕 . I like that it is dark blue, bought it 3.25 years ago with 68k on clock, now 113k. PO had stage 1 chipped it and for a 16 year old car it is torquey, comfortable and quick enough for the daily duties. The Euro plates were on it. Am getting Euro plates for the E30 shortly too
