And am working my way through a few blown interior bulbs, but wow I know what you mean about Ardo’s, seriously looks mint Of course they do, they get driven outside so will have the odd stone chip or so chucked at it. I didn’t mention anything about Ardo’s? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been through a couple of owners since a friend did a full rebuild @313km. $15K spent on the motor alone, over $45K was spent from top to tail, new leather, new seat foam, custom hidden bluetooth stereo with sub box along with period correct headunit, full koni suspension + bushing refresh, new steering rack etc etc. Was probably put to market about a year too soon initially, and the buy now later was far far far too cheap. It's level above the $64K red one. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something must’ve been wrong with my TradeMe search as definitely looked at least 4 times that morning. It would only have made me sad anyway as sunk way deep into the sedan I bought. But wow it looks awesome in white Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E28E30 335 Report post Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) @_ethrty-Andy_ for the marginal if any cost in premium go for $30k. You won’t be able to replace it easily anyway but having more money in your hand if the worst happened might help you feel better? Who do you insure with and who did the pin dent paintless dent repairs out of interest?

Olaf 3314 Report post Posted May 28, 2021 I think the main clue with @_ethrty-Andy_'s vert is 125k kms, never had paint, all original - or with parts to put it back to all original. This in contrast to cars with moon-and-back distances. It's around collector quality, and is likely the best in NZ. In my opinion, as a good tidy SE 4 dr is now at ~$30k, how can a primo cabrio be worth less? Of course, anything's only what someone's prepared to pay. How much to replace? I'd be expecting a valuation of circa $35k on this car. For someone who must have a cabrio, and wants the best, the one (linked above) on FB marketplace is not going to cut it. There are a few particularly tidy examples around, but they're not for sale. If you were that person, and this car was presented at $39,780k ($10-25k below a *good* M325i coupe), would you hesitate? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could also be injectors, which can get super clicky. worst case - it needs new valve guides. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You want original, reinstall the parts that he's carefully stored in the shed. You want to enjoy the manual experience, leave it as it is.

I think I recall that the convertibles had a delay in applying the LCI, or at least tail lights wise, is that right? So is this essentially a pre-LCI or?
