JLEE 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2013 Im after an E30, all models (318,320,325) welcome. Price limit is $6,000, i know its not much but limited as a student. Must be manual, and prefereably in the Auckland region so i can view/test drive and get a precheck done. Must be road worthy (certed/rego/wof) If any one wants to sell or knows of anyone keen to sell please let me know! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted April 12, 2013 you will be well into touring/motorsport/well loved and looked after territory with that coin. an immaculate normal E30 will be around the $3000 mark. or pick up a cheapie and throw a couple grand at it in the right places and you will have a mint reliable runner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Matt_ 42 Report post Posted April 12, 2013 Depends what it's spec is. 8k should get an immaculate well spec'd e30 like an SA import. 6k could get a immaculate but probably slightly boring e30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allanw 1071 Report post Posted April 12, 2013 Mmmm... Glacier Blue too! That's the same as Dads, except his has 15" cross spokes - the last of the SE's sold in NZ were very well specced, and are German assembled with the proper dip priming and rust proofing. That SE will have the complete boot lid liner, OBC, sunroof, "premium" sound, fogs, AC, proper electric windows, no emmisions equipment (not even an O2 sensor!) headlight range adjustment (that won't work anyway), illuminated M stripes gear knob, sport steering wheel, ski flap, ABS, body coloured bumpers, sills and mirrors and even blue tinted glass and side mirrors probably more too..... Pretty awesome compared to most E30's. Dads was about $88,000 new in 1991. that was a lot back then for a 3 series! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a set which will have to go with the car, now that list has been brought to my attention.Thanks for that info Alan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not worth 7k imo And ditch that horrible m badge on boot http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-578081572.htm Edited April 13, 2013 by JayCeeE30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HELLBM 1557 Report post Posted April 15, 2013 How much are you wanting for this Ray? Is it factory manual 325i se?$5500 or $6000 on 15" weaves.Was an auto but we converted it along with motor refresh last month. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmpower 3 Report post Posted April 15, 2013 G260 or 240? What did you do to the engine? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HELLBM 1557 Report post Posted April 15, 2013 G260 or 240? What did you do to the engine? Thanks.G260. Old motor had a blown headgasket. Replaced with a 160k donor rather than repair the origional 290k motor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a set which will have to go with the car, now that list has been brought to my attention.Thanks for that info Alan. They didn't all have cross spokes when new :-) Also has shadowline trim around the windows, rear headrests, body coloured boot spoiler, the proper "motorsport" exhaust (two straight exit pipes, not angled to the side - originally came with chrome tip covers) and everyone knows the "touring" sideskirts are tricky to get hold of... and even harder to get the correct moulded mudflaps that fit them! They're pretty awesomely specced. There's a factory oil cooler in the front too (dunno if that was on all 325i's, or just some markets). Apparently I'm an E30 325i SE Geek!
