Hi Miles,

There is a relatively active group down here in Christchurch. Technically not part of the BMW Car Club NZ as most that come along are not financial members.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/707657126480873/

We generally meet first Tuesday of each month for a pub night. Next one here: https://www.facebook.com/events/447579370646035

Through winter it can be a little quiet, though in summer there is generally one event a month whether it is a local drive or a destination event.

Be happy to have you along.

Andrew

I tend to agree. In no immediate rush, I also think it’s perhaps not great timing economically to sell a car like this. 

He got an offer for $6000 now also. Still pretty abysmal.

Got an instant cash offer of $8000 on Facebook so can’t be too far off on asking price. 

Price: $10,000

Location: Christchurch. May be able to help with relocation as part of sale.

Background:
Vehicle purchased in August 2020 at 142000km. Had autosure warranty from previous owner so includes autosure service booklet with stamped services from import until our ownership. Have performed own maintenance and have receipts for parts. Have used to travel around the South Island (Christchurch, Invercargill, Arrowtown) and for trips into town (~25km).

Reason for sale: Looking to upsize to an E60 station wagon due to a growing family. Backseat is tight for a carseat and can't really fit anyone in the front. Dealer offered $4000-$6000 as a trade in so will try our luck selling privately or just stick with it.

Will get some better pictures in the next couple of days when the weather is more suitable!

Just got a repaint and some SE additions (front lip and side skirts).

Next step is refurbishing the set of 15” RS001s in the garage to replace the 14” weaves. 

Long time no update! Its in great shape and just gone over 400.000km!

-M20B25 Swap

-Manual Conversion (G240)

-Poly Bushes

-Koni Shocks

-King Springs

-Recaro Seats

-Ultra Racing Front Strut, Front Subframe and Rear Strut Braces

Next thing is a re-paint. The front panels (bonnet and guards) are peeling clear coat something chronic.

Just got a warrant last week wasn’t due until 18/01/2020. If you do it 2 weeks before it’s due they extend until the original date + 6 months.

My partner's E46 coupe for sale. As per the listing on TradeMe.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1289407160

Not sure if related to the ignition switch assembly? Our e46 had electrical issues but it was the indicators, radio and sun visor lights playing up. Took out the ignition switch, cleaned it up and haven't had any trouble since.

No pics this time round but some updates.

-Wireless central locking all go.

-Foglights all go. Had a few issues with relays, switches, bulbs and housings but all sussed now. Yellow halogen bulbs on order.

-MTech1 steering wheel. Scored it for $25! Leather was shot though.

-SS Brake Lines all installed. What a fun job, not! New brake pads and sensors too and a brake fluid bleed.

-LED interior lights and put an extra light in the boot too.

Slow changes unfortunately.

Got the lowering springs in a while back. Jamex from the parts car.

Worked the poor girl hard too. Just purchased our first home so car has been on the backburner

On the positive side she gets to sleep inside now!

Parts car is m20b23. But I think it has something major going on in cylinder #3. Will not fire it's getting spark and fuel alright and I suspect a head gasket.

I has abs but it's a rust bucket so the rear hubs are pretty shot. Good news is it has the air con loom I needed and manual gearbox so will be attempting that in the coming weeks.

Love that colour, johns coupe was the same colour too? Isabel's is as well maybe we should bring that to the next meet...

I can't tell the line between a project and a showroom thread. I think a project is for the major "off the road for a while" jobs but that's only a guess!

Installed remote central locking on the E30. Now I don't have to be paranoid about the replacement lock barrel disintegrating.

Olaf, your wagon looks amazing. New wheels suit it very nicely too. Is that paint Orientblau?

Picked up a parts car from Wellington. Manual converted 320i with an m20b23 transplant. Running one cylinder down though could be terminal for the b23.

Robbing the good bits off it.

Sun visors, door lock mechanism (now all my door locks and central locking work!) fog lights, 14" BBS including a spare and all centre caps!

Repainted the rear valence and towbar. The black strip was starting to wear through to the base coat.

It's just the tilting mechanism I believe.

No idea??? I would be onto them if they were coupe seats.

Tempting. Location?
