  1. Hi Anyone got any advice on buying a Z4 please. I was going to get an MX5 NC with a 6 speed gearbox as a "project" car, have got sign off from the boss for toy purchase :-) I have discovered that there are Z4's for sale from about $9K . Should I hang out for a manual? NZ new vs Import? Or is the auto worth getting? 2.2 vs 2.5 vs 3.0? Is bigger engine better?. There are some UK import 6 speed manuals about - do I go near them? Thanks for any feedback.
  2. Your comment got me looking for some pics of the convertibles with hardtops. Wow - might have to see if I can locate one for the winter Quite like the 2 tone look and does it turn it into an M3?
  3. Thought i'd try night pics with IOS7 on the iPhone. Love the new forum - and easy to attach pics...
  4. Nice! I learnt to drive in one of these.
  5. Just installed this into the new car. Pretty straightforward. Plug and play at the back of the headunit. Only hiccup was having to disconnect the CD changer in the boot before the headunit could find the Gateway. Primary using BT for streaming from iPhone. I decided to mount it in the centre console so I can plug a USB stick in I want to listen to MP3 and also use the charger cable for my iphone if I need to.

  6. It's great between the snow showers! especially with the electric roof. We go to Alex and Queenstown heaps so will have a chance to cruise as the BMW Gods intended.
  7. Orient Blau - I have people tell me I have a black car, purple car - but I agree looks fantastic.
  8. Hi finally can come back to Bimmersport. Liberated this 330Ci NZ new 2002 vert from Wellington last week. Had a great drive down the island and even had the roof down from Timaru back to Invers. I think this is an ex CHCH car? Handles great, sounds amazing - I'm a happy lad. Looking forward to summer and the kids love getting in the back. 504586-001 by dentpix, on Flickr 504586-006 by dentpix, on Flickr 504586-002 by dentpix, on Flickr

    Fancy a 730ld

    Well here they are- the Crowns old fleet of 730ld's Turners list Wonder how much they will go for and which one was CR1?
  11. Looks like it's a SMG gearbox
  12. Hi I was in Dunedin yesterday looking at 328's but spotted this Alfa 166 Never had an Alfa, but this is a very pretty car and the interior is "bella". Sounds amazing. Should I run away now, or take the punt? NZ new and FSH, it hasn't had much use in the last few years. Look forward to your comments as always.
  13. Hi I spotted this car up in Alex, I'm slightly interested even with it been mellow yellow. These special editions were made in South Africa, but I don't see that as a problem. I have tried to find some reviews about the 318is and there isn't much online. Seem that they are fun to drive and handle great and don't drink too much fuel. But my concern is about the power,going from a 328i and 540i is the engine going to seem underpowered, or is it a case of 'driving' it and using the gearbox? Anyone with real life experience? thanks
  14. Didn't know we had this m3 in town!
