Wouldn't surprise me if its twice that price for an open diff. Seen people trying to sell small case auto ratio LSD's for $1500. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vass 830 Report post Posted April 27 2 white tourings in one day 👀 Pricing on the 318 might be a tad optimistic. Both look juicy tho. 1989 325i Touring 1988 318i Touring 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 477 Report post Posted April 27 For $35k, I’d want my silver car to be silver, the gear knob to be put on properly and the model badge on the right side. For starters. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sammo 2544 Report post Posted April 28 Its a very nice car, no doubt, but the reupholstery on the 318i Touring makes me very hapy I stumped for all original BMW fabric for my retrim - looks like spotlight or corolla fabric. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it looks like a poor reproduction, or just a "close enough" match. The actual retrim itself looks decent though. I'm curious if he's had the entire car resprayed, or close door and if the door jams are still silver / engine bay too. Hard to tell without any photos, looks like the tailgate inner is silver still. Also wonder who his mechanic is with this nonsense "My mechanic says it’s a newer engine than what the mileage suggests, and in his opinion about 150-200k) and must have got swapped out prior to me owning it." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 477 Report post Posted April 29 Actually comes up on MDecoder as alpine white and on Carjam. Maybe it's a TM glitch with silver? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30ftw 410 Report post Posted April 29 Must be, I thought it just reads the info from the registration but carjam says White also. Weird. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vass 830 Report post Posted April 30 Some dodgy sh*t going on with that 318i Touring. Listing claims 347k km's on the clock. The same car was being sold in '21 at 469k km. A quick carjam shows it hit that mileage in 2019 when the odo broke since it's stayed the same since. Must have passed half a million by now. I'd be wearing that as a badge of honour instead of half-arsedly trying to conceal it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And was Alpin-Weiss 2 from the factory. NZ new? Nope - it's imported from the UK. Engine is variously described as '1990cc' and 4-cylinder. The M40 this came with would have been a 1796cc.

Neil McCauley 394 Report post Posted May 16 Test drove this last night, 171xxx km 1990 318iA/4 and the only E30 I've ever seen in Tizianrot. Pulled the carpets / boot liners and had a really good poke around underneath, not a bit of rust to be seen. Listed in one of the Queenstown buy/sell groups so if you want more intel / the owners details send me a PM. $6K ono which seems entirely reasonable! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
