hybrid 1039 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 [can of worms open!] This is owned by Jerry Claytons, they want around 75-80k for it last time I heard. (from someone who phoned them up about it) It's not a factory RHD like some claim, BMW australia asked a local BMW tuning house to RHD convert it to test the Aussie and NZ markets when the m3 came to this side of the world. Pity their was not interest back then, we would of had a e30 M3 RHD! Condition wise, it really is in top order inside and out. It has spent the last 3-4 years sitting under a car cover in the the JC lockup. It has cherry red leather inside and aftermarket wheels and is finished in Diamond schwartz. Im not sure of the engine k's but they are not that high. Think i've covered it off. Please bare in mind I haven't seen it in 1 1/2 years but from last I heard it had only been moved to its new lockup area. [/can of worms] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjs 60 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 Wow, it has only done 2,000km in the last 5 years! Carfax link. No matter what anyone says, its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If you like it, make an offer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) I have driven this exact M3 3 or 4 times between Takapuna JC and Mt Wellington headquarters. Bloody great car, last time I looked the it has only about 55,000kms on the clock and paint is mint. On aftermarket gold split type rims with polished lip. Opps didnt see the link above, disregard anything I mentiond that was obviously already mentioned in the link Edited August 7, 2008 by RJS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keen 6 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 Thank you for all the help it is the car I was looking at. The sales firm I asked for their price and they have not told me. Just said it was still for sale. It sounds good but out of my price range if it is over $50000.That would have to be a lot for a converted RH drive would it not?Is there supposed to be a performance drop due to the original exhaust having to be removed to take the steering box on the right? Looks like I will never own one of these. Sad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 4 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) Theres been a couple that were imported around the 20k mark, on Trademe. Although i don't think you'll see anymore at that price due to the new import laws (Don't know the laws but I assume they affect cars that old).

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 The big problem with a lot of those 20k ones is they are rusty! A RHD conversion will cost around 10k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 4 Report post Posted August 9, 2008 I saw this car twice yesterday driving past my son's doctor in Takapuna, while waiting. Looks very nice. Cheers Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
