briancol 3 Report post Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) I'm seriously thinking of selling C0SM0S and buying an E46. The car is fairly familiar to Auckland members but for those that don' t know it here are the details. 1996 E36 325 //M coupe. Engine M52B25 Trans 5 spd manual conversion with Z3 short shift (done by HellBM) Colour Cosmosschwartz Mileage, 132,000kms Extras include; Front lip (colour coded) Colour coded front grill and windscreen wipers Angel eye headlights M3 style mirrors 18" Spit-Ze medium dish alloys 225-40-18 Front and 255-35-18 Nexen tyres (plenty of tread) Flaired rear wheel arches Rear spoiler Colour coded rear splitter K&N Panel air filter New Exhaust system (twin pipes twin 'Cobies" then to a single pipe with a sports muffler built and fitted by Al's Mufflers) Sony Xplod head deck, Sony 4 channel amp with 12" Soundstream Woofer, 51/2" mids and tweeters. Mongoose Alarm New Monroe shocks all round. New ball joints and tie rod ends This is a well loved car and quite a head turner. Does not come with "C0SM0S" plates. Price $12,000.00 ono I can arrange finance if you require it. Edited February 8, 2012 by C0SM0S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sascha 17 Report post Posted February 4, 2012 I thought that the M52B25 was the 323i engine? And that 325i was the M50B25? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted February 4, 2012 I thought that the M52B25 was the 323i engine? And that 325i was the M50B25? M52B25 is 2.5l Badged as 523i as Euro spec E39 & 525i in Jap spec, respective for E46. I think Brians car (if original engine) will be a M50B25. The M52B28 came out in 1996 replacing the 2.5 engine... as I understand it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted February 4, 2012 Brian's car was registered incorrectly in NZ. It's a 323i Coupe with a M52B25 engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

39KiwiTouring 2 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 I can testify that this is a very clean coupe indeed, and would of thought 10-12k would own it as it's a $25k plus build. Brian just keep it if you don't realise the money for it and buy the E46 as well, come on you can do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Simon* Report post Posted February 9, 2012 I've done a bit of mopping up Brian hope this is going well so far. Perhaps some more pics for those members who haven't seen your car in the flesh would be helpful? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
briancol 3 Report post Posted February 12, 2012 This sale is now off. After test driving the 330Ci I am not at all happy with it and definately won't be buying it, so C0SM0S has a new lease of life with me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palazzo 477 Report post Posted February 16, 2012 Why didn't you introduce yourself ???Sorry Glenn, I should have. You seemed busy and dropping off the Ti was actually in the middle of a business meeting. My friend is really impressed with how you've looked after him, thanks.

After test driving the 330Ci I am not at all happy with it and definately won't be buying it, so C0SM0S has a new lease of life with me. Was it the car condition or the SMG ? If it was the SMG it takes a few months to get used after the fine level of gear control that manual drivers develop over time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
briancol 3 Report post Posted February 16, 2012 The car was first registered in NZ in 2003 however it turned out to be a 9th month 2002 build, therefore only a 5 speed. The SMG was buggered. After contacting a technician from Team McMillen I found out that the car had been there on several occasions re transmission and short of replacing the lot, it hadn't been able to be repaired, so I walked away from it.
