E30 325i Rag-Top 2963 Report post Posted October 6, 2019 Try E30 M3 tax, that’s a whole nother level. The number of people that try and sell “genuine E30 M3 this, that or the other” for mega bucks and then get pissed when I point out it’s the same part as on every other E30 and can you can still buy them new for a fraction of the price! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 6, 2019 Looking for a manual (not powered) steering rack for an E30. Found one - $150...?!? I think I gave away the last powered rack I had, and the one before that sold for maybe $25? Is this the price point for such things now? (E46 purple tag racks aside.) I may as well buy a Z3 powered rack for that sort of price! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ00Z3 189 Report post Posted October 6, 2019 You will not get much change out of $500 for a Z3 rack, so the manual rack for $150 may not be so bad. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 7, 2019 More parts pricing silliness: Brand new meyle insert shocks Brand new meyle brake pads Skimmed brake rotors No springs or top hats. $999 I suspect - hope - the price was a figure to satisfy the 'must put a price' requirement, and isn't an actual asking price, but given the way things are going who can tell?

Contrails 317 Report post Posted October 7, 2019 @gjm You could maybe score a E46 Purple tag rack for $200. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 8, 2019 Since the E30 boyz have been using them, asking prices for those have often jumped to $350+++, too! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 1062 Report post Posted October 8, 2019 You can have one of mine for $200, I was going to do both cars but can't be arsed with the e30. Much easier on the E36 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 10, 2019 Just saw 'MHW' tail lights advertised at $2400 AU. WTF? Many E30s aren't worth that! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skidz 197 Report post Posted October 21, 2019 oh well try bringatrailer.com and search bmw e30. it is worth the effort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2963 Report post Posted October 22, 2019 Lots of E30 on there, I take it this is the one you are referring to @skidz? With the swapped S54. Just closed at US$23,000 which is a pretty good price for a very cool car. It's now in the recently finished auctions section if people are looking for it. Nice build, none of those horrible USA bumpers and quite the sleeper. Do like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 22, 2019 The US market is a difficult one to gauge. 5-speed manual 325iX Touring for $3k or so, or a late model good 4-door auto for $15k. All prices, all sizes and shapes... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GetCam 15 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-2379001100.htm Nice car but the price point feels rather high. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2963 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 Wow, that is in great condition! Price is relatively high, but for an NZ new touring I would think it would be close to that. Managed to get some E30 M3 parts from TradeMe without the tax... happy as, and the seller was a real legend too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
