Andre3000 55 Report post Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) Ive been doing a bit of looking around and considering my options. Im looking for an e30 coupe and i thoght i might be able to import from Australia? Iv started talks with a few importing agencies and with a few guys out of the ECCA to see if its going to be cost affective or even possible. The car im looking at is a 1989 325is, and im sure you will see the reason why i want to import it. Any input would helpful as ive never done something like this before. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/bmw-e30-325is-coupe...%3A1|240%3A1318 Cheers Andrew Edited November 9, 2008 by Huddyboy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same answer i got from the ECCA guys lol 6x9s in the back? flush mounted? i wonder how he did that? just checking hoping you dont make the same mistake twice... buy one in nz mate way easier.. one will come around Already onto that one, first question i asked (cringe). Hopefully i will find a suitable replacement in the near future. I wouldn't think twice about picking a nice one up from Invercargill . Ahhh well the hunt is still on.

bravo 35 Report post Posted November 9, 2008 Well cutting is cutting no matter who did it - still needs nz lvvt cert. secondly, e30's are more expensive in aussie than over here (due to their luxury vehicle tax which made them more expensive to bring in when they were newer, and thus they hold their price better. So with import costs you are going to end up with one expensive e30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
