_Alan_ 6 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 Came across this E30 Eta tonight.. 325e Can't say I've seen one in NZ before, musn't be too many of these here im assuming? Nice little car to restore - or simply take the block out What do you all think? Alan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antony 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 Maybe if you put a M20b20 in it, you might have an advantage in the race series. Certainly different. Wonder what its history is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) There's the odd one around. The e28 525e is much more common in nz, and all the ones I've seen are RHD. I saw that auction and thought to myself - he's asking alot for a car that needs to be revinned and alot of work, and isn't all that rare in other partsof the world, and suffers a performance disadvantage against our more common 325i's.
