Holy cow... that just knocked owning an M3 off my list back another couple of years Do you know if a large portion of that cost is labour though?

$5k for a clutch? Is that normal for an M3!?

Yeah, looks really good and it's NZ New!

Hell yeah, just saw it too! Badass plate.

Was actually thinking of your car when I commented before Jamie. Arctic Grey? I would have, but it wasn't me driving and you weren't in the car anyway

A google says that it was 3120 lbs

JP's car is grey. Btw Jared saw your car last week in Onehunga. There are a couple of silver E36s on here, so could be anyone really.

Car looks mint Ray. Was this the one I saw last time? (Don't remember the plates though)

Yeah, I was surprised the E30 M3 guys didn't jump on them. Nice wheels Sam, looking good.

Isn't it nice to know when your car was born? And you know its weight, too!

Yup.

Yours is a pre-facelift. You can tell from the kidney grills and sidemarkers. Other little things on the facelift were the rubber straps in the boot to hold stuff down and footwell lighting. Steering wheel may also be different. When you want to order parts, just enter the last 7 characters of your VIN into www.realoem.com, it will give you the appropriate part numbers.

Hey Richard, being manual and NZ New will give it a bit of a premium over other 1992 318s of similar mileage, I think $4.5k is about right.

Beautiful car. How's the interior?

That is some great info. Cheers Jochen!

I'll bet... it's like having a new cockpit! The steering wheel looks good, at first I was wondering why you didn't get the walnut piece painted silver as well but that might make it look a bit busy aye.

Cool, that sounds pretty good. So to sum it up, if you buy a Jap import with nav, get one after 09/00? What is the significant of that date - is it when they started putting in radios with a world tuner? Josh, what was the steering wheel upgrade for? Cruise control?

Thought you'd be one of the elves Glenn!

I see. If you were to buy a Japanese import with nav, would it have the same radio module and display thus saving a little on costs? Somehow I don't recall seeing E46 imports with nav.

Take care Jochen, all the best in Europe. Do drop by every now and then! P.S: For a second there I read that you spent $4k on your car the day before you left... I was thinking 'Sh*t he must REALLY love his car'!

Good work. Mind telling us how much it cost all up?

Bump

I see, hmm who knows. Thought someone else may have seen it around. The camera thinks so

Looks good - they suit the car well. Would probably be nicer without the letters on the spoke though.

No worries dude
