Surge 1 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 E30 1990 325i Manual SE NZ New I will try to describe this car as accurately as possible.. Overall condition would be rough, especially interior - Previous owner had a bit of a hack with the wiring loom (trying to install a stereo) No stereo, Dash lights do not work.. Suspect earthing problem. 310,000kms (approx, speedo stopped working a couple of months ago) again, Suspected earthing problem - Has signal from speedo sensor. Have tried different instrument clusters to rectify the problem after earths were breifly checked to no avail. Body has one missmatched door on the drivers side, car was backed into and door replaced - slight colour mismatch and minor dents in replaced door. Bonnet has dent + chipped paint, otherwise ok. Front skirt has scuff mark (as pictured) Mtech2 Spoiler, SE Side Skirts, 9 button OBC, Maplighted mirror. Engine suspected vacuum leak (split intake boot - easy fix) idles rough, runs fine at higher revs - could do with new spark plugs, leads etc.. A general service would do the world of good. Unsure of when cambelt was last done, therefore replacement is suggested. Has fresh WOF, and will be sold with 3 months REG. As is, where is. Asking best offer under $4k Contact David or James anytime on 03 379 1390, or 027 200 5693 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted August 30, 2007 Reasons for Rejection: Condition and performance 2. The speedometer: a) does not operate as intended when the vehicle is moving forward, or Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
