balancerider 758 Report post Posted February 8, 2021 Looks pretty good - nice spec for NZ new with 18's, xenon's and the 125kw engine tune (rather than 100kw on the 116i). would check service history (timing chains can be problematic with 2yr/30k km oil service interval) and turbo heat shield can rattle. replacement run flats will be ~$500 / corner. worth noting it didn't come from factory with leather seats.

balancerider 758 Report post Posted February 8, 2021 @E30 325i Rag-Top 🤔 I assume any car with the option of a manual comes like that on the option sheet (the first 'option' is S205 automatic transmission). manual trans soon to be a thing of the past I guess...
