Ah right. Confused cause I didn't think BMW were cheap. So figured you must be referring to VTNZ.

Don't get it. Who are the monkeys here? VTNZ? Why? Did you expect them to find an issue?

Poor bugger who got the diesel maestro

This just popped up on reddit. N52/6 speed swap in an E30 chasis (with Volvo Amazon skin). https://www.reddit.com/r/E30/comments/1hafcgi/n52_swap_e30/

Guess the new owner better like driving auto then

If those Ks are genuine and the car has been looked after well then it's in a rare state for a 325i. I would think a replacement M20B25 would come with more Ks than that (that's just a guess though). No idea how much a manual swap is at a shop. But 10k plus sounds a bit high.

Looks pretty tidy. NZ new, low ks and service history.

But what is it exactly that you need to measure?

DM me if you want. I live in Rotorua and have an E30. Keen to see what you've done with the conversion as well.

Yea I used that. No BMW dealer in Rotorua. Figured I could go to BMW blue later if I really wanted to (on the next flush).

There isn't always a BMW dealership handy. Depends on where you live.

Been waiting on a special. These are now half price so gonna grab one today (last day of special).

Out of cusriosity. Do you code for a living or hobby? Reverse engineering systems level code and following it isn't light reading 🙂

Thanks - looks good to me 👍

Just ordered the 5000TL230V quickjack from Sulco. It's on special at the moment there: https://www.sulco.co.nz/5000TL230V. Still pretty expensive and the price on there doesn't include GST (so you're basically getting it at the pre discount price but without GST). They had the wall racks in stock as well so I got those with it. Looking forward to using it though. Looking for a new torque wrench. Any recommendations?

Haven't come by this thread before. But this is one bad ass looking M3. Low key and mean looking (exactly how I'd have it if I was lucky enough to have one of these).

Very nice. Always thought Gold BBS LM's would look nice on a black E30 (5 stud though). I llike the pop of the red centre caps you have there and how they match the interior.

Damn, that's the way to do it! Top down cruising through Northland. Beautiful ride you have there. We did a family trip around Northland for a couple weeks earlier in the year. Some rough roads up those ways. Glad you got through that unscathed (we had do swerve a horse that I didn't see until getting round the bend - classic northland).

On the previous listing I don't think it mentioned anything about it being a genuine 325i Sport (at least don't remember that on the original listing). What are the unique features of a UK Sport 325i? Pretty much the same as the M325i? Anything that was different between them? I know Sport didn't come with M badges (only difference I know of)

Been on my list to get a setup soon. I want to have an ultra wide curved screen mounted to it though (so it is it's own dedicated unit). Want an arcade machine first so will probably look into it next year.

If it were right hand drive I'd consider bidding it on it.

Brave and Leo AI is solid

Have you checked out realoem? Put in your vin and confirm what was there originally for your car. Then you can search for that part online or go to a pick a part/wreckers maybe. This might be what you're looking for? (but confirm first through realoem).

True. Didn't look that close.
