  1. Nice - looks OK black on a dark car anyway - might look a bit cheap on white or something. Dads 325i SE has them all colour coded in Glacier Blue, along with the bumpers (the top and bottom parts) and looks awesome - quite modern really.

    Is that sealer you used a urethane type product (paintable etc?). Or silicone? Silicone has it's problems of course - causes shitloads of trouble with paint (ask a car painter!) - but is often acid cure for masonry use, and will make steel rust REALLY fast. Worth checking!

    Hi cheers mate, its paintable neutral cure selant, we use it on concrete tiles to seal rubber flashings on to painted slates.

    I am sure it is fine where it is, fingers crossed :P.

    If i had glacier blue i would defs colour code,

    but for this colour i will just colour code bumpers in time.


  2. This weekend i spent some time on the 325i.

    Rego is on hold for 3 months while i work on her.

    I fitted my sump guard, was a pretty straight foward job :)

    I did a pretty average job painting my rocker cover, didnt really degrease it properly but it turned out alright ish.

    I painted my se sideskirts i got from the for sale forum, i was choosing up between colour code and an oem black, i decided to spray them black so that they matched my is lip and door trims etc etc. Should look good once the H&R cup kit arrives from Germany.

    To fit them i lined them up and marked where the clips will go, i marked and drilled a 8mm hole and put raw plugs in them, filled them with mds which i use at work to seal vents going through concrete tiles, and pushed them in place a screw on the bottom of either end of the sill and placed some firewood underneath over night to hold in place. I ran a bead of this black mds amd used soapy water and a popsicle stick to smooth into shape. This morning i removed the firewood props and it has set! :)

    I will add some photos, my main focus atm will be on my 320i, i will swap the steelies with the bottle caps on the 325i and just need a top radiator hose, two wing mirrors and replace the front brake pads and with all the service history i have i should be able to sell for a decent price.

    Thats all for now :)

  3. I remember putting this on the tradme section! :P

    Man it is mint. Id say defs above 4k mark. Maybe 4.5 - 5k it is a beautiful car.

    Mint tan interior and crack free dash,

    Red that doesnt look blemished

    Id say with 15" weaves you could be looking at a pretty nice sum of cash!


  4. This project will be a little sidetracked. Wof has lapsed and rego on hold. Car is parked up in garage whilst i work on it. I have just purchased a 1989 320i which my grandad owned since 2001 and one owner before him after import to nz in 1995. I hsve all the service history fromwhen my grandad owned it and he sold it to mums ex partner in 2009 and he is now selling rather cheap for minor faults which i can easily fix and resell the car. I will be getting my mate in Germany to send me over some h&r sport springs and shocks cup kit next month :) i purchased some se sideskirts for the 325i aswell which will eventually be colour coded delphin grey along with the front and rear bumpers.


  5. sounds good have you got an update keen to see the progress

    Not atm sorry, just moved house car is in garage atm.

    I have to get wof done next weekend and i know one rear wheel bearing will fail haha so will be fixing whatever needs to be done first. Found some h&r springs and shocks from germany for half the price they are over here so will be waiting for tax return next month :P and ive nearly paid off my personalised plate for when the projects nearly done!

    Will try fit the sump guard this weekend i think


  6. Thanks bro! That means alot.

    I was thinking a gloss black centre with gold bolts. Have got some black bbs centre cap stickers with gold writing.

    And finishing touch down the track is polished lips.

    I was considering a gun metal/charcoal. But wasnt sure if it would clash with the car colour haha. Might play around with photoshop because i thought even white may look good.


  7. I got my windows tinted @ car foile last weekend.

    Installed a maplight mirror from ftwe30's m325i he wrecked

    Bought a sump guard off trademe too.

    The brembo covers arrived but i wont update them on here since there are some high and mighty bimmersporters that throw unesacary hate into the mix. I dont really give a f**k about your opinions unless its useful advice or a nice opinion.

    This is my build thread :)

  8. My mother in law is selling her much loved e30 they are moving to auz so sadly the 325 has to go.

    If you like your e30's this is really worth a look, it is one of the best condition ones iv seen in many years.

    It sat in storage for roughly 3 years a few years back and before that was not really used much either thus the low k's.

    The paint is original and is in very good nick.

    the black leather recaros are also in very good condition

    and it run's perfectly with no issues at all.

    Its only done 150k

    they move to auz soon so they only want $5250.

    If I didnt already have 3 bmw's and not enough places to park them I would snap this car up in a heart beat you just dont find original ones like this anymore.

    This ia a nice e30 seen it on trademe for a while.

    But 5k for an automatic? That seems a bit steep, and whats up with the rear tail lights? Tintspray or stockings?

    Fake things have their appeal to some I guess.

    Id say they look a hell of a lot better than the standard 23 year old dust clogged unpainted calipers that are currently visible at the moment. May not be your guys cup of tea but imo i would rather see the painted caliper behind the bbs reps than what is there now
