I saw one today in Albany. Black. S.F.A, thats how many, they are very rare, i believe they only came in to NZ as a 3.2 evo? I think theres one in Hawkes Bay (that i know of).

oldskool 4 Report post Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) Hey, Have seen six from memory, have seen one in Avus (??) Blue, Green, 2x Yellow, Black and one in the Copper colour similar to the GM Tiger Gold, not sure of its name. All have been imports bar the Black one ( I think ) and from memory it was an smg. There has also been a Daytona Violet one on TM recently, think that one belongs to a Bimmersport Member. Not many here and a spectacular buy out of UK as they seem somewhat unloved over there, 4k - 6k GBP will secure a nice one with full history. Think that might be next years mission. Thats if the Govt. does'nt bring in more new laws to spoil all our enjoyment. If you want to buy one just make sure you have the vanos checked out and that the Gbox is in good health, they seem to be the two main weaknesses in the evo. Have an article that lists production runs etc, but don't know how many are here in NZ, not much more than a handful would be a safe bet though.

Yuen 16 Report post Posted November 22, 2007 Seen a few around, not sure if the black one you saw was on TradeMe awhile back? I think there's at least one Dakar Yellow one on TradeMe. A fellow member used to own a Byzanz one and another still has a Violet one. Theres a blue one in taka, the light 3.2 blue Estoril Blue E36 M3 Sedan? If so...

liam02 6 Report post Posted November 25, 2007 Most of the ones in NZ are NZ new. In the last few months I have seen 4 for sale. They are great cars except one problem - everybody thinks you have stuck an M3 badge on the boot of your 320! I owned the Byzanz car, should have kept it, but my problem is I am always looking at something else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) Black M3 (BTCCM3) I have seen this car around a few times, its bloody load!! I didn’t understand the plate, the BTCC were 320i. I think it may be an UK import though. My missus was calling him a wanker because it had an M3 badge on it, I have trained her in the art of spotting Ebay M & Trade-Me HSV. I had to explain that there are a few 4-doors around. I think the M3 saloon is easily spotted by its wheels, they are a different design to the coupe Edited December 4, 2007 by Apex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 4 door was a homologation version of that - like 318iS (the real ones). He is a member on here - it sounds badass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AFAIK, Wheels were different on M3s depending on the year, there's no difference between sedan and coupe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was under the belief that there was, I know the E36 M3 sedan ran a 5 spoke wheel as opposed to the multi spoke of the coupe. All that I have seen have had these wheels.

Mike 1 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 i'd take a 4 dr M3 over a 2 dr, just reckon the e36 sedans look better than the coupes, plus you get 2 more doors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 4 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 Like Mike, i'd take a 4 door M3 over a 2 door as well, but more because I really need the 4 doors. Cheers Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
