sam726 29 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Hi there guys, I'm helping a mate look for a car and thought i may aswell try here in case anyone has any suggestions/has seen or has something that could match the description. Looking for a manual BMW E36 or E34 are preferred however may consider an E30 if its good mechanical condition. Manual is essential or auto with a manual conversion 2 or 4 door but 4 door is preferred Body should be straight but paint doesn't necessarily have to be perfect. Engine should be good condition Preferring to be under 200,000kms if possible but may go slightly over if the condition makes it worth it Price can be negotiated, we're thinking around the $6000 and under mark but really just looking to see whats out there. Interior we're not so concerned about as long as it isn't badly worn And yes we have been checking trade me quite often but you may see something i've missed. Thanks for any help guys, Sam Edited: We are now looking around the 6k mark, mainly for manual e36's 318is or 320 > is preferred Edited June 10, 2011 by Sam G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sam726 29 Report post Posted June 10, 2011 Just bumping to have a quick update. Circumstances have now changed and we are looking at a MANUAL e36, e34 or e30. Budget is around $6000 or so. Must be relatively low kms, tidy interior and exterior, leather if possible. E36's are preferred and we'd prefer a 318is or a 320i or above. Thanks guys, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
