E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 On 2/15/2020 at 10:47 PM, Jacko said: Interesting one, https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/specialist-cars/competition-cars/auction-2532205397.htm One of the 13 nz new manuals, might be the first?, and a non msport 130... absolute poverty spec (like it was always going to be a racecar?) It does indeed look like it was ordered in as a stripped out, low spec version intended to be a race car for a South Island customer. Very weird, and pretty cool story. It is the first NZ manual car built, if you exclude the "pre-pro" that was brought in later on. Total number I can see is 15 (including the pre-pro) NZ new manuals wonder how many are still on the road? Will have a look at the database when I get chance. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably just not flogged Maybe it sat on yard for awhile before being registered in 2007, Its 2005 build, about 25 odd s/n after mine, Options list is carbon copy, all the good stuff (bar a sunroof), other than wheels (207 vs 208) https://www.mdecoder.com/decode/ps88799 Edited February 18, 2020 by Jacko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really low ks, nz new, intake worth a crap load if you flicked it on, mine was at 140,000 when I bought it for 13k I hope he gets 13, the market need correcting hahaha Edited February 19, 2020 by Jacko 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) The $6.5k one is crazy... it's not particularity tidy though. CD changer and rear camera a good options if they're factory. Rear suspension looks shot. The paint's probably better than mine though and Alpine White, sweet. Add some ///M or BMWP pinstripes and that's gold for me.

Not to sure, but considering the Z4 and Z4 M share the same subframe, and come with N52/S54, and E60 had M54 and N52s, there is probably a bmw engine mount config thats common.

As far as I know we just have open diffs? Couldn't find much by way of a search. e-diff, but it was only on lcis (which that isnt), and is sh*t. Just works like traction control by braking spinning wheel, sending torque to the other. Edited March 6, 2020 by Jacko 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
