greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Jeez man! I cannot wait to see what you do to your new E30. I have absolutely no doubt it will live up to the CRZARB reputation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazyarab 6 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Wheres the pics at ? lol Good things take TIME ok! And yeh, cheers Nick. Problem is, I have fallen in love with the look so much already I am a bit concerned there is not much left to do... Tech-II's really are set up well with regards to the exterior.

JiB 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 I am a bit concerned there is not much left to do... Noooo way It's an E30 right? Brakes, brakes brakes Standard brakes are a bit on the terrifying side no? Especially coming from an E36 M3? I reckon, get rid of indicator orange and that's really all you need to do to the exterior of a mtechII e30 Maybe a cheeky little 325iS-style front splitter?

Did you buy it from Andrew? oh right sweet man yeh some reciepts would be much appreciated ill send you a pm with my email address, im not sure of the guys name my father bought it while i was overseas from a guy in wellington. ive had it since october 06 roughly since then ive only done cambelt a few services and more recently a new clutch gearbox mounts driveshaft coupling etc all done by glenn at botany motor worx, ive only done about 8-10000 kms since owning it due to haveing another car (and i dont like getting it dirty haha) did u put the bridgestone potenzas on there, ive replaced 2 but they are pretty hard to track down?

liam02 6 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Yes i put the potenza's on grid 3's, i dont think they make them any more. Everything was brand new on that car, new sunroof, front seats, cross spokes all from Shelly Bmw ( jeff gray ) new shocks, gear knob, leather gaitor etc etc. Great motor, what are the km's now?

liam02 6 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Yes i had the short shift fitted, from a Z3. I am glad the car is going well, i have also owned a 318is and prefer the 325 as a car. There are a few good motorsports still around, one in wellington with only 48 000 km from new sitting in storage a beautiful black car. That might be my next e30 if i can get off the owner. He might be tempted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
89'm325 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 ive heard about that black one and seen a black one in auckland with similar kms maybe its the same car, this is my 5th mtech II m325i. To date ive had a silver one, two black ones, a white one and now this red one and i still know where one or two of them are Yes i had the short shift fitted, from a Z3.

Spot on bud, I have your ex car Previous owner has done wonders restoring it / maintaining it (I will post up some decent photos in the weekend hopefully). p.s.

Yuen 16 Report post Posted July 31, 2009 Hurry up with the pics Atta. Posting pics of mods before the actual car (after it came into your ownership) is not acceptable! Looks like a sharp buy, Lachsilber is such a good colour for the E30s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted August 2, 2009 This thread brings so many memories! I remember when I was hunting for my E30 all these came up for sale! I remember seeing OG845 on the motorway and drooling. Can't believe its made it all the way to chch. Anyone on here own the red M325i that was for sale for 15995 at team mcmillan in around 2004? I remember going and taking it for a drive, still one of the best E30's i've ever driven. One owner, full BMW service history, bastards wouldn't take a part trade on an 89 jaguar sovereign Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
