Hey, is it a manual?

If it was the price would be 10k, not 5 haha

Price drop to 5.5k ONO I need it gone ASAP as I have just bought a 4wd ute and want to get it on the road ASAP needs a lot of work and money…

FOR SALE! AUCKLAND AREA!

PRICE IS 6000 ONO

wof, reg, 194xxxkms will go up as I daily it

Pros - straight body, no rust whatsoever from what I can see, could get a photo of underneath on my hoist at work if you really wanted, 2 previous owners, 1 older couple for 19 yrs and then one younger guy from overseas who used it as a car to get around and then sold it to me 6 mths or so after, have over 3k in receipts including, brand new redline radiator and ecs tuning hoses, $1300 driveshaft refurbish, rear muffler delete done properly by Wolf mufflers (highly recommend seeing the guy there for a custom exhaust) still got 2 high flow cats and resonators in it so not too loud but got a nice low tone to it, all fluids changed and flushed etc. cbf listing more, AC blows cold, all windows work, all switches function properly I’m probably forgetting a few things tried to describe as best as I could haha

CONS - central locking doesn’t work on back left passenger door and boot (have to lock manually) back left brake light is playing up (common e36 issue I haven’t gotten around to fixing, yes I tried replacing the bulb and I know what the issue is) it’s not a msport but have a pretty allgood condition msport rear bumper and msport 3 spoke steering wheel, and a spare full set of 16” oem wheels with good tread on all 4 and a good condition purple tag steering rack I will throw in for 6k

WILL ADD MORE PHOTOS SOON

PM FOR MORE INFO OR IF INTERESTED CHEERS

Looking for a good condition msport kit to suit a e36 328i preferably Boston green but Allgood if not. Also looking for a boot spoiler or a link to a good website which ships them, cheers

Keep in mind anything adjustable or not provable as OE equivalent will likely require certification so factor in an additional $750+

If doing a manual conversion, most kits come with with a brake pedal / clutch pedal combo. The minute you touch the brake pedal you now need certification (if detected by the person doing a warrant) - additional cost.

Manual conversion may also require driveshaft hoops depending on the certifier. Because of where I live and the rather limited certification options I was forced to do 2 hoops...

I didn’t ask how much it’s gonna cost to manual convert it but yeah thanks for that haha, I already have a good idea of what it would cost me to do it and even got a quote from a couple shops that would do it.

What are you planning on doing with the car? 

Koni yellow and H&R springs will outperform BC golds or BC reds on the road 

XYZ adjustable set up are cost effective and great starting point for track work, speed factor in Tauranga sell them. 

Manual conversion is getting pricey now but is a great way to make the car more fun, typically a getrag kit is well upwards of 2.5k, plus it's foolish to not replace clutch/flywheel/master and slave at the same time, add another $1k to bring good quality gear in from overseas. 

I just want a fun street build that can comfortably drift at low speeds, I can source g220s for a bit less than 2.5k and they are in good nick, I know it’s going to cost around 4k to get the conversion done, a bit more if I were to get it done at a shop, but so would getting some nice wheels, coil overs and a cert.

BC are good value and feature packed but wouldn’t go any cheaper than that - cert adds $750ish so might as well get decent quality.

Fair enough, I think I will go with bcgolds eventually but a manual conversion is first on the list, costs around the same so will definitely be making that a priority haha

Wheels-wise I would be looking for something used and OEM - fortunately the rampant price hikes have not really hit 17" 5x120 wheels as much. NZ wheels selection new as you may have noticed is terrible for older BMWs.

Coilovers, I would import a set of KW V1s unless youre needing camber plates and a bunch of damping adjustment.

I would like camber plates etc which is why I was leaning towards some BCgold adjustables, but can’t really justify the price of them with the way the car is at the moment. Would you be able to link me to a reliable site that I could import those KW V1s from? Wouldn’t mind having a look at them atleast, thanks.

Hey people, new to the forum and bmw in general but have developed a new found love for them, I recently purchased a 97’ 328i and am wanting some suggestions on what adjustable suspension would be good as well as a good brand of poly bushings mainly for rear subframe but a complete bushing kit would be nice, and also something I can buy here in nz without it having to be ordered from overseas, with that being said I would also like some decent 17”wheels that can also be bought here and not have to be ordered, cheers!
