atlantiskiwi 73 Report post Posted January 19, 2014 I can have a quick look at it for you. But just to give you a basic indication of condition. I'm not taking wheels off etc. Who here's from auckland and would look at it for me? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/328i/auction-684036172.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoJoJoe 46 Report post Posted January 19, 2014 Sure would appreciate that, dont know why but some member said there was something fishy about that car, they did test it 6 months ago but it was suddently sold for around 3.5 -4k to the guy whos trying to sell it only after 6 months, I initially had my eye on that green car but then steered clear. now I am set if I am able to get the blue one, otherwise I might have to consider the green car as an option. Would find it very helpful if you did have a look for all of our sake. the car has been on trademe for 2 months now but no takers, See how the drive, take her for a spin on the motorwat, if theres any overheating, or maybe the interior is falling apart. Maybe he stuffed up the gearbox. I still kept that car at the bottom of my list, dont know why. Nobody took it I guess that also put me back. But see if you like it and it checks out. I did have a friend in auckland, but hes out till later this year, or would just ask him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted January 19, 2014 Its $4500 no reserve so just chuck that much on it, get it home, and do the cooling system and all fluids etc. Wont cost much, its manual- and room left in the budget for diff etc. 1 Buy E36 2 Empty wallet 3 Winning And to the poor deluded fools talking about the extra torque of their V8, this is a guy who was happy with his ditch sweeping 318, remember 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle 1661 Report post Posted January 19, 2014 Yeah but once you go from 318i to 540i, 328i etc you probably won't want to drive a 318i again. Nothing deluded about V8 torque, anyone whos passed a slow car on the open road in one will tell you that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at it this way, the e30 m3's had 4 banger motors too, which produced around 190hp. So I think if I get a 328i I can own a poor mans m3 afterall! Oh Man, I am winning so much....

Nothing deluded about V8 torque, anyone whos passed a slow car on the open road in one will tell you that. Very true, I am still looking at that e34 540i on trademe, just between the blue 328i and green 540i. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
