Hah I drove past this today. It's parked on Lake Rd, Devonport End. It looked a bit odd to me.

Is the 335i the 2019 performance bargain?

2JZ's and RB's are ancient now. They all need significant money spent if you intend to chase big power. Nearly all of them have been modified. Up to 20 years of random mods. A friend just recently picked up an R32 GTR that is quite well known in the community. It is alarming how much money it needs spent on it. And it was a good one. Seen my fair share of broken Supras and GTR's at the GTR track days over the years. The best thing you could do is ship them to the US. Make an absolute killing on them. I saw a f**king GTE (yes E) Skyline 4 door povo edition sell for $10K USD!!!!!!. It was a pile of sh*t. I felt like a prick afterwards but I told the guy that they are a $1000 or less car in NZ. His face said it all. JDM YO!!!!! Got the price wrong. It was $10K not $14K. -
I am pretty much a prisoner in my own apartment today. George H W Bush funeral over the road at the National Cathedral. All streets are blocked. I had to prove I live where I do to get OUT of the area. It is a media circus right in front of my building. They are even in the garden. The Faux News reporter is pretty hot though. Shutting down Wisconsin Ave is pretty nuts though. That is like shutting down Great North Road x 20.

It's not relevant for vehicles of this age. You just adjust them to suite. It was only an issue with older lights where it relied of the pattern to be created by the glass/plastic itself.
-
You can actually buy the xenon parts separate from the housing. Otherwise pick some up from the US. They are pretty cheap as there are a ton of 04/05 E46's around. Also the LED rear lights too.
-
Yeah exactly. Just watched an Mtech II kit go for $700 here. And it took weeks to sell. Also. Original unmolested E30 Proceeds to list quite a few mods......
-
This is actually quite nice. And not poverty spec.

There was a manual E60 M5 sitting on a yard down by Quantico a month back. Looked like an Marines car too. Rough as guts. Wrong hand drive wherever you are is a total pain in the ass. Just convert one to manual. Oh and I have driven a manual 550i E60. Felt like a big car to be manual. And I got sick of it pretty quickly.
-
100% with you. Hence my comments on that other listing. Could be worth repainting it though. You must have access to all the original colors from the factory? I love Blue BMW's but I would take the Black one over the Blue one here. Thanks qube for making me look at cars again... The UK imports cop a lot of flack for rust and corrosion. But they are starting to be picked up by true enthusiasts now. Which means they are being cleaned up. I have seen a few advertised (whilst asking a premium) that have underneath pics to prove they have no corrosion. Summer cars. Same thing is happening here.

TBH I didn't just write your one off due to it being a hue of BSY. But i'm just not sure when I will be back in NZ so I have stopped looking at cars for now. I have seen vehicles in similar condition sell for 9-11K here in the US recently. Everyone is well aware how much money they cost to bring them back up to standard. So the price just plummets. I am seeing M3's for only a little more and sometimes less than 330i ZHP models. Picture for non HDR Real Estate Website style color. Also more reflective of New Zealand weather conditions. Overcast.
-
I'd be happy with Black or Silver or the grey the CSL's came in. Timeless. I'd prefer Red or Blue. But never BSY. And I find White hides some lines that should not be hidden on M3's. Oh and the BSY in that photo has obviously been attacked by HDR. It does not look like that in person at all.
-
Ahh baby sh*t yellow with old man khaki trousers interior. Obviously not my favorite combo.
-
Congrats. As I said. Sharp price.
-
That's a pretty sharp price. Can't imagine it will be available for long.
