3series 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 looks pretty clean but I see a few potential problems - brake pad wear sensor has been tripped. and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe e30's work better with a viscous fan? maybe my eyes decieve me.

Is that what that dash light is suggesting? Is it just me or is there no fan at all??? Good spotting! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaz 64 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) What is that thing by the electric window controls with the wire attached? Edited November 15, 2009 by Kaz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 What is that thing by the electric window controls with the wire attached? Looks like a flux capacitor cable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Top Secret 2 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 Haha. That's the automatic circuit breaker to control the use of electric windows Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3series 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) interesting to see that "just got a WOF, no dramas" when A) the brake pad wear sensor light is showing and also considering carjam shows it as "The WOF expires in 2 weeks (5th December 2009). Last inspection was successful on 5th June 2009." Its like he just predicted the future. Edited November 15, 2009 by bmw3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tire 10 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 It looks kinda tidy but far from special being an automatic 4 door 320i. Looking at the cars you've had/got, I rekon you'l be pretty unimpressed. Get an m325i or something! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 It looks kinda tidy but far from special being an automatic 4 door 320i. Looking at the cars you've had/got, I rekon you'l be pretty unimpressed. Get an m325i or something! You don't rekon it would be as quick as my old CLK-55 AMG? Yeah but not too keen on having about 7k tied up in one, depending on what this one goes for if I can get it for under 2500 say I'd be doing ok. I've owned one near identical before & while it was no rocket, it did go ok and drove very nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) when A) the brake pad wear sensor light is showing I recently got a warrant with the brakepad wear sensor light on, and mine do work.. -- Also, the cambelt sticker says date, "8/97" "98586" so, Guess it's due a cambelt soon. Other than that though. @ Clinton, You should've bought mine before I did hah. Edited November 15, 2009 by antil33t Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 That 316 is clean damn! Make a nice daily. One of the tidiest I've seen for a while to be fair, but just a bit gran-ish looking IMO, needs some TLC from a mag wheel shop but worst of all the colour makes my eyes bleed.

antil33t 90 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 What did you buy? Pics? http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=23411 I bought it from some guy locally (dunedin) as he needed the cash, so got it for $2,600 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 Yeah nice, is it a genuine M? How many k's? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 Yeah nice, is it a genuine M? How many k's? Hahaha... Nope It has a couple of dealer-fitted "M" options (tech1 spoiler, tech1 wheel) I'm just slack at removing the front badge, as the grill has faded around the badge. it had done 133,000km when I bought it. Just flew through it's first warrant with me last week Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) I've made an auto bid there. Just wondering what you all thought I should pay for it WITHOUT spending more than it's realistically worth??? HELP!!!! Thoughts? Edited November 16, 2009 by Clinton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted November 16, 2009 I've been outbid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @#$%#^^^@#$!!!!!! Can anyone tell me what they would pay for this car? I really don't want to be paying too much!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zenetti 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2009 I wouldn't be paying any more than you have already bid.. There are heaps of E30's around so just be patient and wait for another one to come up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted November 16, 2009 Yer, just been a while since I've seen another one quite so tidy. I'm surprised that someone is prepared to bid so high with more than a day to go on the auction to be fair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
