Yup the E30 M-Tech tax applies to parts as well as complete cars.

Note to self; check house contents insurance covers car parts in garage!

Usually speaking, there is only a "generic car parts cover" with a total of $2000 on a contents policy unless specifically agreed with your insurance company....  ask me how we know, our garage burnt down 8 years ago

 

pays to make a phone call and find out

Just seen a 1989 316i factory manual. Does look very clean and tidy. $15k.

At this rate we'll have to sell the Baur. can't justify having that much money tied up in a car when we're planning to sort permanent housing.

Just seen a de-reg shell for sale. No engine, gearbox, diff or interior. Asking $1500.

Yeah, seemed like a good parts car. I got turned down as they didn’t want to ship to Auckland.

Is that the white one? In Napier?

Makes this one seem like a good purchase then, someone hit the "Buy Now" for $1,300 within a day of it being listed.

No engine, no gearbox, interior was all there but there was mention of rust but weren't specific photos of where / how bad it was.

The Bronzit 2 door does look very nice, but $15k is certainly pushing it for a 316i - this has been sitting around at $13,500 for a few months (may have sold looking at the unanswered questions) as clean, probably cleaner and in Alpineweiss II with grey interior as well.

Wonder what a clean facelift 325i manual 2 door in a good colour is going to cost me 😮

Given the condition, even that seems expensive! (To me...)

Looks nice, but I'm (personally) still struggling with the '5-figures is normal for an E30' pricing!

Might have a facelift 325 auto in a good colour available...

Not that one - it is a 1989 Bronzit coupe in Auckland.

May be an image of car and outdoors

Pretty sure a few months back there was a red 316i coupe that sold for 18k on trademe so 15k seems like a bargain 🤭.

@Sammo please buy Graham’s one. I want to see it in Auckland!

Ah thanks @Ghost Chip ;)  am not on Wastebook alas. 
 

Looks tidy, really don’t like the over fat wheels but they could be swapped out.  I have heard some mixed views in this forum about King springs

I've experienced less than great things... They're not bad, but they're nowhere near as good as H&R (for example).

kind of feels like the recent Mtech frenzy has died down a little.

I'm going with $35K.

43,400 says it hasn't 😆

it will be done to a standard where I would be happy to keep, but yes it will be listed as well when finished. I already have my cabby and my race car that I dont use nearly enough!

I’ll put it on my watch and wait list @_ethrty-Andy_ am sure you’ll do a good job so will be keen to see it when ready to sell; what colour is it?
