E30stz 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 (edited) Looks at purchasing a good ol 3 series Heres the specs - BMW 318 IS (i was told but its obviously not after reading the badge and seeing the exhaust) 2 door 10 disc CD Stacker MTech2 body kit Crappy bottle craps i wanna get replaced Nice interior. 30 day MTA warranty (or upgrade to 2 year Protecta for $600) Powersteering 90,000 kms on clock. Imported (hence the numberplate surround that id be taking off) Couple of questions 1. Engine looks well, flooded - wheres the best place to get a pre-purchase inspection in Auckland (specialist BMW place) at a reasonable price. 2. Anyone want hte Mtech2 spoiler, doesnt suit the 2 door. 3. Can you guys see any imperfections. 4. What should I be offering this dude. 5. Is that a fake Mtech2 kit .. doesnt look genuine from the back 6. Anyone wanna gimme a manual gearbox ty deftones for hte pic - wonder why mine has a plastic box around the numberplate box.

E30stz 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 (edited) Yea i dunno I could give the spoiler away ... but would be open to offers. But shotgun gets first dibs. Is the interior update or something, I've never seen seats like that in an E30 before. Semi-bucket seat lol. Spose may its just cos they've all had seatcovers.

No idea, i'd go 3.5-4k? or more/ less, im not such a pro on that 1 5. genuine kit 6. boxes often come up cheap on trademe, otherwise get 1 thru a wreaker numberplate thing is ghey eh- its on lots tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 sad about hte number plate thing, I really wanted 2 get a europlate on it. Cos the Mtech front bumper dont look right without one . Also I never really figured this, I'm guessing when you get a LHD to RHD conversion they dont move the handbrake over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 just a kitted up 318..however does look nice....from the pics it looks sweet....cant really tell without a detailed look though...where is it? could come have a look....most pre purchase inspections dont pick up that much that you or i couldnt....graeme has a full manual conversion thing for round 500...thats everything that you would need to convert....really not sure on price..although a friend just paid 1500 for a black 318 on 17" borbets....so prob round 3 ish....if the kits genuine that is and fits well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 yea unfortunately I dont think a dealers gonna go for that low. Its not often you get a beama in this gooder condition, with an MtechII kit on it. Would it be stupid to go as high as $4500 ? I mean sure to us its worth $3 k maybe $4 k if its in good condition but to be honest anyone outside of this community is gonna expect more, which sucks but its reality unfortunately and even though there not gonna get it sold at a higher price there still gona persist to keep it there.

gmccormack 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 I do have a 5 speed for it if you decide to buy it and I also have the NZ number plate panel for it if you want to fit Euro plates or NZ plates without bending the ends for that matter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 (edited) Yea - Europlates also wont be comptable with the back plastic bit thats on there, so I'm not sure I'll be needing them. How much for the Manual box ? What did it come out of ? (Lol just checked out ya sig - there is someone else that has a beama in Papakura) Edited November 17, 2004 by E30stz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 if you want to pay that much that cool......its just when the time comes to resell then you wont be able to get jack all for it.....i know a couple of decent 318's that have been sold for 1500 recently..and they both werent TOO bad...so yeah thats the only prob!

E30stz 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 (edited) My uncles got an 323i engine I could hopefully (fingers crossed) drop into it, so its all sweet ! yea or theres a completely stock standard Black 320i on 60,000km I saw about 2 weeks ago in mint condition for $4200 but Im sure I could get them down to around $3500.
