swordfish 30 Report post Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Hello members, Since I've sold my M3 I've been driving some very average cars and realised how much I miss driving a BMW. So I am looking for a cleanish E30 or E36 with a good body and that hasn't got any serious mechanical issues. Ideal would be an E30 318i, 316i manual, don't mind the body type. I have a $2,000 budget, so I am not expecting anything super out of the ordinary, but wouldn't be interested in anything that I couldn't drive away and drive every day to work. Any other interesting offers welcome. Thanks, Nik Edited May 26, 2018 by swordfish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted May 28, 2018 Nik, seriously , i think will struggle to find an anywhere near good E30 for 2k, particularly in manual. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qube 3570 Report post Posted May 28, 2018 might want to double that once more to find something manual and driveable haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted May 29, 2018 Yeah, if you can drop the requirement for a manual then you'll have a world of possibilities. Otherwise, no so much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 1060 Report post Posted May 29, 2018 Theres an e30 320 auto on Facebook for $1500. Grab that or any auto and manual convert would be your best bet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) This for $1800 (offer $1500) and then a tranny swap? https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1646829127.htm Looks pretty clean tbh. I'd snap it up in a heartbeat if I needed one (and it ran well and had clean oil). Edit: I realise you're probably not looking for a project lol but... https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/gear-boxes/auction-1651630700.htm ?
