bravo 35 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Yeah, but it needs a full respray, and some cosmetic work - not hard to push it up to the same price as all the others which appear to have been better looked after. oh, Plus freight - theres a few grand. It seems there's no such thing as a cheap e30 m3. Edited February 12, 2009 by bravo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2957 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Industrial Freight Via NZ shipping CoBefore we go too much further...Is that price of $350 just for the shipping. Don't forget to add on the customs entry, shipping documentation fees, BAF, cost to take it into the port, etc. $350 is about right for the actual cost of carrying it on the ship, it's the ports and customs that sting you. check with your contact at the shipping co. what is covered and who is picking up the other costs. Plus good old Import duty and GSt at this end, charged at market value in NZ NOT what you paid for it in Aussie! I have contacted the guy about this car and will have a peak if it's still available when I am next in Melbourne. My first opinion is that if it's in that kind of state paint wise the mechanicals are not likely to have been looked after, and will need lots of replacements to bring up to scratch. For me, this is not an issue as I am looking for a race car project so would replace lots anyways. About $25k NZ for a rough example I would say is about market rate....

bravo 35 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 I know you don't think much of e30 m3 prices, but remember they were produced in very limited numbers (even less made it to nz), they were pretty much race cars modified for the road, not the other way around, they are usually looked after very well, and they go like cut cats. Very much a quasi-super car/touring car in its time rivalling the best from Porsche and abslutely whipping mercedes and the like. When I first got into the BMW scene early this decade, a good m3 in top condition was approaching the $50k mark. They did a slight drop with the influx of japanese ones brought in by the likes of TWR at the sort of prices you mention, but these prices were for, at the time, unregisterable examples as they didn't comply with frontal impact regulations, and were not yet old enough to be exempted under the 20 year rule. The TWR cars could, for all intents and purposes, only be used as collectors cars to be garaged and trailered to shows, or as classic race cars. The former use was unlikely considering the general low-grade of the cars being imported. These cars can still not be registered today without first being exported and then reimported, and then if they are LHD, they need to be owned overseas for a period first to get around the LHD import rule, and if they have been converted to RHD they need to go through a fairly rigorous certification process, the costs of which will put the price of the car at least back up to the NZ equivalent. Finally we come to the economic rules governing the exchange of any property - the value is whatever a willing buyer is prepared to pay a willing seller, and even with the current recession, there are willing buyers prepared to pay the prices being asked. Case closed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

323e30 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) have seen this car listed in aus also .. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BMW-M3-E30-Your-cha...%3A1|240%3A1318 $13,000Aud start price ($16,242.11 NZD) seems he would go a fair amount lower than you have estimated. Plus paint is rough as guts, would need a full respray not to mention there may be hidden rust. Also im fairly sure theres more fees for importing, Maf fee , import tax , shipping charge, charge to get car from melbourn to the boat, plus normally you need to be a registered importer and have a customs broker and pay the broker also. I know i need all these things just to import parts. Edited February 12, 2009 by 323e30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi-tek (above) knows this first hand, and is more qualified than either of us to comment considering he only recently bought his, and at quite a good price. He then spent the time and $$ to tidy it up and has ended up with a stunning car for less than "market value". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OLLIE 26 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 grab one for a good price now because in less than a decade they will be collectibles and demand a much higher price tag, as buyers are more willing to pay to get "what they have always wanted". The BMW E30 M3 remains one of the most influencial cars in the history of motorsport and motorvehicle production engineering. Anyone selling one now, my heart goes to them as they are obviously in some kind of financial trouble or newly married to have to sell it. I can only see prices appreciating and If i won lotto or even instant kiwi, you know what the first thing I would buy would be! I think I need to take a trip to Napier soon, my E30 M3 urge is back andI need to touch a proper one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
