I remember when Atta was searching for his first M3; he said he searched for 'M3' so much that he wore out the 'M' key on his keyboard. Then one day, he found his Oxford Green E36 M3. I always enjoyed his posts - his enthusiasm was infectious.

RIP Atta. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Looks great Dion, beautiful colour. You're making quick progress with the mods

Stunning. What a great upgrade!

The offset is cast on the wheel under the centre cap in the pic you posted above (same line as the row of text that states the wheel size). Can't see it clearly in the pic but they are the numbers at the end usually preceded by ET or E.

PCD should be 5x120 assuming these fit a BMW.

Thanks for the interest guys. The whole set was picked up earlier in the day. Only the boot mat, driver's side kick panel and vapour barriers are left.

Brent, thanks for your post, I managed to get hold of one this morning so am now sorted. Cheers.

Bump - price adjusted to entice someone to pick these up tomorrow. If not picked up tomorrow, they will go in storage.

Thanks Ron, was happy to get used as I don't think I need brand new for a metal part like this. Dealer would be a last resort.

I'm putting the stock muffler back on and realised I'm missing one side of the clamps that connect the muffler to the hanger. Does anyone have some lying around? Need them by tomorrow morning.

They're these:

Thanks.

Sure did. Might as well have kept it as a spare but that's the risk with $1 auctions.

Did you do the drivetrain refresh at home Martin? Wood trim looks great. When's the Eisenmann due? I'm definitely checking in for that...

I bought these tyres off someone a few years ago as a pair of good tyres that they'd bought for their track car but ended up being the wrong size. I'd gotten them mounted on the wheels when we noticed air was escaping from 2 tiny holes. I can only assume they were vandalised. Seller didn't want to hear anything about it so I'm cutting my losses. The other side seemed fine but I wanted a matched pair so these have been stored in the garage since.

If anyone is interested, this is ending tonight and currently very cheap so you could get lucky. At the very least the good one would be a useful spare. Buyer needs to take both, picked up by this weekend from Auckland Central.

Thanks guys. It sold tonight.

Hi all,

Have just put my parents' car on TradeMe. Please get in touch ASAP if interested. Cheers.

Those vapour guards looks interesting and very different to mine... selling them separately?

Not sure, what would they be worth separately? Feel free to PM me an offer. I think you know what you mean, yours must be the plastic sheets? I suspect these are the facelift type, they certainly look more proper.

vader sale thread turns into a e36 sale thread. awesome

Ha Kyu, I didn't want to say it, but I noticed... thought I should have the last say it given it's my thread

If only they were black! i have been waiting so long for a set of Vaders. almost worth converting the M3 to white interior for :S

somone is going to luck out on these big time!

You might be surprised how good they look against a dark exterior, I absolutely loved the contrast, it really changed the feel of the interior. They are so rare in NZ and then when they do come up, who knows what the condition will be. I would say these are one of the better sets you can find and they're available right now.

In the market for an e36 coupe at the moment - once I find one I'll be very keen for this if you still have it.

Cool. I'm open to selling my 328 actually if you were considering one, will shoot you a PM.

1998 M3 Evo coupe interior parts. All sold except the items below.

• Cover panel above pedals on driver's side, with floor well light
• Door card vapor barriers. Haven't checked these in detail for tears, but am certain there are no significant tears that can't be patched.
• Boot mat with provisions to attach rubber hold down/friction straps. Dirty, could use a clean.

Door panels and other

I got one for the E39 530 from here. http://www.i6automotive.co.uk/mw-disa-valve-intake-adjuster-unit-aluminium-repair-kit-3-0-only/

Happy with the quality and came with everything needed.

Next closest might be Team McMillan? IIRC the dealers aren't priced too much higher and you could potentially get an appointment sooner. Worth a shot.

Wasn't sure what to expect with the topic title. Good to see some of the original members are still in touch! First pic looks a bit like a shot from One Tree Hill, eh? (without the buildings...)

Thanks for the timely bump Dave. These sold today - have to admit I was still a little reluctant to let them go as I doubt I'll ever find a set as nice again, but at least they've gone to a good home. Good luck with your search for the centre cap.

Nice car. Imola is a great colour. Only the second NZ New Imola 530 M-Sport I've seen, aside from Beemn's old car.

Nice specd also but the photo of the engine bay is scary. would be interesting to see how it drives.
Red color very becoming with the motorsport package

Why is it scary?
