Kaz 63 Report post Posted May 14, 2013 Hi there, Anyone own or know this car? I'm very keen to buy it, it seems pretty cheap? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-590680054.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted May 14, 2013 Looks stunning. I would agree with the sellers comment 'This is the best German engineering at a time I believe BMW was designing its greatest looking cars.' Might need a bit of TLC up close as pictures tend to hide things. Could be a good base for a project if it's a straight car structurally etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted May 14, 2013 yep some better pics would be good. and budget for new headlights for sure... but probably okay car. id be opting for a facelift personally Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30ftw 410 Report post Posted May 14, 2013 Looks real nice, That rear end is pretty damn low though, considering it's a pre-facelift with higher rear arches and still tucking alot of tyre.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaz 63 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) yep some better pics would be good. and budget for new headlights for sure... but probably okay car. id be opting for a facelift personally I would prefer a facelift too but there aren't many that come up too often. Thanks for the feedback everyone. Yeah I plan to tidy it up a lot, especially the interior. Hopefully I should have my e46 sold in the next couple days and will pick this up in the weekend depending if it all checks out. Couple questions, what kit is on it? being a 325 I assume it's a 6 cyl right? Not a 4 cyl as he says. And lastly, the 190,000 is most likely miles. Is that too much for one of these (300,000km's)? I won't be daily driving it or anything, but just a bit worried it might start falling apart. Edited May 15, 2013 by Kaz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD13 492 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 Yeah it will have a M20 6 pot. He says it has a zender kit - looks nice. 190 could be km's... I have an 87 e30 couple imported from the UK and my odometer is in Km's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 ^^ I'm afraid you might as well ignore the numbers on it then, as it certainly wasn't fitted to the car when new. Has been swapped over at some point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD13 492 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 ^ Maybe... From memory it said KM gauges on the VIN lookup info sheet... Carjam history also showed Km from first rego'd date from memory. Maybe just faulty memory though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted May 16, 2013 I take it that is the option list for the Cab at the start of thread? Shame the m-sport steering wheel and cross spoke alloys have been lost along the way. It has gained the 325i badge on the boot as it was supplied de-badged. Looks in pretty good nick apart from the interior, would be good if it found a good home to tidy it up. Go for it!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're an old fart, you are the original hipster anyway (if you had a fat moustache in the 80's), so you can pull it off my friend.
