yng_750 247 Report post Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Hi guys looking at selling my e46 if anyone is interested. 1999 e46 328i tiptronic. m52tub28 twin vanos (no rattle) orient blue metallic cream leather interior (dirty but no rips so will clean up ok) 186kms nz new, includes full service history from new till now. has both keys with RF central locking, remote boot and factory immobilizer alarm system towbar cd stacker air con climate control all working (stereo missing main volume knob) very well looked after and very tidy all around. now the bad parts. its had a crash. slapped a railing recently. insurance company wrote off due to clause about buying new parts if available which put costs up. was warrented until april 14. needs, left guard, front bumper (support frame is bent but can be straightened, bumper mounts are fine) left headlight ( light ok but mounting tabs cracked so could be plastic welded maybe) left corner light. bonnet has a dent near the edge but could be straightened without to much effort)left rear taillight is chipped along lower edge but will possibly need placing for recomplaince suspension is untouched. plastic vents and under tray are fine. airbag system is fine, no warnings left rear quarter has a dent and scratching (borderline between paintless dent removal and polish or repaint metal tab that holds the left hand bumper mount is slightly bent but could be straightened without professional intervention. have figured about $1500 to do it myself including recompliance fees. but really to busy im in two minds about his car. part of me wants to see it on the road again and part of me wants to pull the motor for an e30 conversion (twin vanos ecu may hold me back) so if someone wants to give me what it owes me at $2200 and get a recomplaince project or racecar project going i will be happy to talk. if theres no interest i will likely part it out and keep the engine and related hardware.

yng_750 247 Report post Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) forgot to add. left front wheel has a small curb chip out of rim but has full size matching spare so can still make an untouched set of four. front tyres are brand new rears about 6 months old Edited January 6, 2014 by jason H Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yng_750 247 Report post Posted January 6, 2014 car is in taupo. i had it shipped from masterton up to taupo via auto movements door to door for $319.32 incl gst. so should be something similar to auckland i would guess Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yng_750 247 Report post Posted January 8, 2014 so having a look around it has the MS42 ecu which is pre electronic throttle but still late enough that removing ews is near on impossible by the looks. dont think im ready to redo the whole wiring system so selling and getting an e36 may be a better idea. open to sensible offers or could swap for either an e36 (engine and box are the most important parts here) or an e30 which is opposite engine and box are irrelevent. a friend suggested a link, which i said i wouldnt bother with a link without a supercharger, then i had a short but violent vision about my bank account and put the idea away where it cant hurt me.

fhall 3 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 Part it out. Not worth 2200 as it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yng_750 247 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 just a quick update. i found someone to mod the ecu but its nearly a thousand dollars. will give it two weeks and if she is unsold i will be in a position to repair. so standing offer is $1600 firm. otherwise will fix it.
