Driftit 2078 Report post Posted September 28, 2020 Is that factory or has someone flogged the motor? Am interested if it can be complied. Pretty certain it can't be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leichtbau 525 Report post Posted September 28, 2020 M54 was standard after the 99 facelift. 2.2 and 3.0. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted September 28, 2020 12 hours ago, balancerider said: M54? (and can it be complied?) Once it falls into the 20 years old category then yes. However, it’s 20 years from date of first registration up to when it arrives in NZ. So this car is most likely just inside the 20 years, so massive fail there. That said there are a number of compliance centres that will pass any old crap! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted September 28, 2020 Bit expensive if it's not got the S54. Still picking up these non motorsport ones would be fun if the price is right. Throw a LS2 6.0 V8 in one! ❤️ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoganC 23 Report post Posted September 29, 2020 Seems crazy price for a uncomplied example but that being said its still a dream of mine and I suppose its. Probably not far off what it would cost to Import. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ00Z3 187 Report post Posted September 30, 2020 Its the M52TUB28 engine. Has camber plates in place of the strut mounts. Don't know what the silver square items on the front of both strut towers are. Over priced for what it is with the 2.8 L engine and auto box. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted September 30, 2020 I do like a Z3 coupe, but given this Z4 manual (with folding hardtop) is less... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The E89 is a totally different car compared to the Z3 coupe. Two generations of development in fact. Both of these cars are priced at well over the upper limit of value for money, IMO.

Sammo 2544 Report post Posted September 30, 2020 What's a proper shoe worth? $55k? Aside from the body shape, it's an auto M52, LHD surely not near $35k even if it was all registered? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KwS 2425 Report post Posted October 1, 2020 Yeah, looks like hid ballasts, so that's a wof/compliance fail. Same with the tail lights, won't pass when black. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted October 1, 2020 I don't think I've ever had a WoF where they lift the hood but I agree lights and camber plates are an issue. But hey, if I'm reading the sticker correctly the oil in it is only 5 years old! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They would also know by being blinded when they try to check the beam pattern. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can get pretty reasonable retrofit kits now that have a safe beam pattern and look externally identical to standard projectors. I'm not saying that makes them legit, but some are hard to detect and that wasn't the case some years ago. I didn't know about the VIN check thing, I wonder if they have to lift the bonnet if you can see the VIN through the windscreen? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
