crazyarab 6 Report post Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) * Update: took some quick snaps with the old iPhone (not the best quality), hopefully will take some proper pics soon * Yep, finally I have fulfilled my dream and am the proud owner of a 1995 E36 M3! You guys may have seen this one on trademe for a while (Oxford green in Christchurch). Once I decided to go view it, I was so impressed at it's condition... It's basically a stock standard show room condition M3. Aaron (previous owner) was such a great guy and I immediately knew that this car could be the one, checks all came up faultless and I decided to go ahead! My initial thoughts... For starters, I am still in a bit of an awe that I actually own an M3. All those long nights on trademe constantly sifting through the ads (basically broke the "M" and the "3" on my keyboard lol). Not to mention all the countless research, youtube clips and daydreams of someday owning one. As for the car itself, wow... what can I say. It's everything I expected and more. I have been driving it around Christchurch ever since I got hold of it today (probably around 4 hours lol). Fun, fun fun! Oh and yes, I have absolutely obliterated the bank budget and would happily accept donations of 2 minute noodles to keep me alive for the next few months.

jjs 60 Report post Posted June 13, 2008 Nice work. I admired that car on TM. A very nice, straight NZ new car. The colour looks great too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazyarab 6 Report post Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) Nice work. I admired that car on TM. A very nice, straight NZ new car. The colour looks great too! lol, I remember first reading his ad when he had "best M3 example in NZ" and laughing it off. But soon as I saw it I could see where he was coming from. Yeh man, those trademe photos don't even give it justice ( I will get some proper ones soon hopefully ). But yeh, I was very impressed at how meticulous the previous owners have been in keeping it in top condition. Hopefully I can carry on taking care of her the way she deserves!

Yuen 16 Report post Posted June 13, 2008 Will you accept your choice of 2 minute noodles for a ride? Congrats on the purchase. That car looked very straight, and the price was very reasonable. I would have been keen too if I were in the market for one. Get us some good pictures of it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
