Also a 320d auto isn't that economical.

Always wondered when this would come up for sale. Its a little pricey, but I don't think he's being greedy considering the amount of work thats gone into it.

I wouldn't say he's being "greedy" either, but at the same time, I seriously doubt whether it's worth what he's asking. Having said that, there's nothing to compare it to in the market so who knows!

So...

I've bought a 2008 Z4M with 45K on the clock. I think that's all the details you guys need.

godinman · 25 Apr 2013 at 20:23

I would love a Z4M you lucky bar steward, got pics?

On another note, has anyone here ever done the vanos rattle (and seal) repair on an M52TU? It looks pretty straightforward, and some awesome chap from the US has set up a company supplying all the parts for £105 inc postage..

You'll have to wait for the pics I'm afraid. 2 weeks till I can have the car as they're going to respray the front bumper and service + MOT it.

All in fairly mundane though

. Black on black. I may make a thread for it when she arrives, my 3.0i had her own and we don't want them falling out.

What do you guys think of this?

For the money, it seems well specced and has had only 2 previous owners. Is a warranty essential?

[TW]Fox · 26 Apr 2013 at 16:16

Warranty cost will be huge on that, well into 4 figures.

panthro · 26 Apr 2013 at 16:18

£1700 for fully comp zero excess :eek:

Do it properly and get the 650i

Vita · 26 Apr 2013 at 17:37

Just out of interest what were the e36 323i coupes like? Any good? I wouldn't mind having one for a little while.

Clarkey · 26 Apr 2013 at 17:46

They're ok, might as well get a 328 though.

I like the 323i I have seen but it's done 150k miles

Clarkey · 26 Apr 2013 at 18:47

What spec and condition? They are probably the most unloved model in the range, 325 and 328 are more desirable. They are like a 325 but gimped by a crappy inlet manifold and long ratio diff. They also tend not to come with any nice things.

If I was going to do it properly I'd get an M6.

Just something to get to and from work in comfortably.

It's in good condition from what the photos tell me, cream leather don't know about the rest.

The guy a few a streets away who had an F10 535i has changed it for a F30 328i.

I'm intrigued by the change. Perhaps he just wanted something smaller...

He fails so much

daveski · 27 Apr 2013 at 13:52

Anyone got a definitive guide to fitting the 18 button OBC to a E36 328i? I'm sat with a mate trying to do the swap and the instructions he has are awful.
