M3 Cab

dougw1. Yep I put a lot of thought in to it

Sounds good. Yep that headlining has to go back in

Sweet thanks. Already got the M badge so guess 325i badge is the next purchase.

Can anyone tell me what the correct rear badging is for an E30 M325i. Mine came with just the M badge on the left hand side but all of the others i have seen have M325i on the right side. Mine is a 1989 so was wondering also if the year made a difference as to what badges the car had. Thoughts?

Going racing Gus ?

Thanks. Thought i had seen it before. Love the E30's but the E36 M3 was my first BMW so have a soft spot for them.

Nice Ride. Luv the seats and the colour. Was this car in Napier recently?

The interior was redone during the restoration. Found out a bit more about the car today when i went to visit. Car is Ex New York and in its original colour. Being ex US the spec's varied so the car has been changed to reflect the UK spec ie dogleg gearbox fitted, cat removed and diff changed. The interior was cloth and torn (pretty standard) so retrimed in Black Leather. Converted using M325i Rack but also the bulk head was exchanged with a right head drive car. Mileage is 100k with total engine / gearbox rebuild. most of the car is new Only 10 days till pick up

Going out to see the car on Tuesday and then most likely take delivery the following week. Man you are worse than me It will most likely be a Bavarian for a couple of days and you know i will call the minute i have the car.

Theres a whole race series right there.. M3's instead of 318's and 320's for not much more. No doubt expensive when ya f__k them but still tempting

Ya i really do. However M325 needs paint and money running a little thin. However EVO 3 suede wheel is on order.....

When i looked into this a few months back i found the same thing. I was looking at staying overseas for the 3 month period and then returning with the car but was told that if the car did not meet frontal impact standards (e30's don't, theres a list of cars on the LTSA website) then it can't be registered in NZ. Only cars that are 20 years old or more can be excluded from front impact and left hand drive restrictions as they are then classed as a classic. People i know who have imported such cars using the 90 day rule did so before the introduction of the frontal impact laws.

Group M3 photo a must. Work prevented me from going south with Roland but he assures me there are photos and vid's to view. Talking with him tomorrow so will get him to forward what he has. I am gunna head down when he picks up the EVO 111 after the mod's. Should be one hell of a road trip.

Did stop at I Prestige this morning for my car porn fix and wouldn't ya know it a black CSL.... Wonder if i get a good trade on the E46.

Looking forward to using the car. I hate the thought of buying cars that will be locked away but at the same time it is unique so warrants care. Sideways on parnell rise ah fond memories of the M325i. Now it bits ready for the paint shop. Gus ya should have come out to puke for a bit of sideways in the E36. Man i have to stop buying cars and get some treatment for my addiction.

I'm heading out to the see the car the week after next so will keep ya posted. Also i thought that once I pick it up i would head over to Bavarian with it so maybe a gathering there to perv. I'll bring the beers

Rest assured all this car is in for a very pampered life. Maybe a stroll around Puke assuming no one else is on the track and its not raining The one and only Mod planned is now complete. New Plates M3 E30

Ya the car was at Concourse at the Ellerslie Racecourse. Its been through a 5 year restoration and won best car overall. Lucky for me the guys who owned it ( and did an awesome job with it) decided it was time for a new project. Cant imagine getting bored with this one

Impulse buying at its best. Havent got it yet, havent driven it, f__k havent even sat in it. Did a deal at Concourse a couple of weeks ago and should take delivery mid March. Thought i would share the pics that i took on the day ( hope they work this time). Roll on Mid March......

Over the past 5 years returns on the manged fund im in have averaged 14 - 15% per annum. The bulk of the fund is unit trusts, hedging etc but 10% of the fund is used to trade options. Rather high risk but when you factor that only 10% of the total fund is traded the potential loses are minimal. Aside from that main investments remain in property and morgage funds. To anwser the question, would be keen. Always interested in diversifying
