E30 325i Rag-Top 2957 Report post Posted April 29, 2021 1 hour ago, Driftit said: Could this be Mr Oxton's one? Was nearly identical to mine but better. Rich Oxton’s one is the Tech II on TradeMe, Linked by Southerner above..? Don’t think he’s got a Tech Wan as well. The one I saw isn’t Mr Oxton’s though. 14 minutes ago, Contrails said: Any idea on the price it sold for? Might have change the insurance on mine. Price was in line with the asking numbers on the TradeMe listings and relevant to its condition. Trying not to give too much away as it was in confidence, not trying to be a dick. If yours is a NZ new M325I that is driveable then I would suggest the insurance should be $25k+. Might be worth getting a valuation for agreed value insurance. You don’t want the “it’s a 35 year old BMW so it’s only worth $3k” letter if things go wrong. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s NZ new and I have all the original paperwork. Yep, I drive it almost weekly. It’s nice to see their values going up but annoying as I will end up driving more carefully and insurance premium will go up too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting also that the M Tech II M325i models new in NZ seem to have dealer fitted rear high stop brake lights as the rear spoiler would hide the usual LCI factory one. I thought it was odd on the red one but this charcoal one seems the same? Rear head rests were an option. Code 498. The rear stop light is an interesting issue - the E30 parcel tray with integrated stoplight was introduced for the 1990 model year, but cars registered in New Zealand after Jan 1990 had to have them, so you've got the '89 build date cars without the parcel tray light, like the Alpina M325i on trademe, which was an 04/89 build, but wasn't registered in NZ until 01/90, so required the dealer fit high stop light. Recent mt2 cars up for sale - CLZ241 - parcel tray light / no dealer light LIV3 - no parcel tray light / no dealer light PR6499 - parcel tray light / dealer light RM5295 - no parcel tray light / no dealer light PY7742 - no parcel tray light / dealer light PA3330 - parcel tray light / no dealer light Edited May 2, 2021 by leichtbau 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
