Never mind the over-priced Beetle, what about the wagon in the background..?

Finished building the race car….!

@balancerider to be honest I didn’t notice a huge difference in terms of ride between 19s with run flats and 20s without on the F30s. The tyres for the 19s were pretty skinny to start with, so not like you are losing a massive amount of sidewall going to 20s. Didn’t need to keep adjusting the suspension settings, but most of it was crawling to work on the commute in comfort with only the odd spirited drive in Sports mode. I might have been in denial as I wanted to stay with the 20s, but even being honest it was hard to tell.

Wow, an E30 M3 Sport Evo for $75k, I don’t remember that one! Even in 2010 IIRC that was pretty good buying. How to build a Time Machine to go back and snap up some of these bargains? -

It is a thing of beauty indeed, and I am a massive Tech I fan. I wonder where it will get to price wise? Shame the market for such toys is completely poked right now. -

With all the messing around in the electric segment last year, fees, rebates, etc. there was a lot of price adjustment in the volume market. Many brands were over stocked and the announcement of the removal of the rebate sent a lot of them into panic mode, with big price drops to move cars before 31st December. All of which has a big impact on the used car market, which in the case of electric vehicles was still very young and un-developed. Once the RUC change has gone into force, if there are no more govt changes, then the used electrics should sort themselves out.

Such a cool car, must be an absolute hoot to drive.

2014 F20 .. recommendations for coding audio
E30 325i Rag-Top replied to rogan's topic in Audio & In Car Entertainment
@rogan remove option code 810 Australian Version and that will take away the legal disclaimer notice at start up. -
Less than an M5…😁 Would I buy one over an M5, probably not. However, the more I drive fully electric vehicles, the more I am liking them! Will probably go electric for my next company car. I must be getting too old.

Yup, have a bad year hike the prices up. Funny how premiums don’t drop when those same companies have made massive profits in a good year. Insurance Companies /endof

Not sure if you are referring to the cybertruck or the i5 there, but in terms of the i5 then I would argue that it depends on your definition of enjoyment. If throwing it through the twisties with the engine roaring is your idea of enjoyable, then yeah the i5 is not for you. However, if driving from Auckland to Napier in serene comfort at not inconsiderable speed (once over the ooh how many kms range can I get moment) with wife, kids and a bootfull of week-end stuff and getting out at the other end four and a half hours later not feeling it is more up your street then I would suggest you give it a try. It also performed pretty well driving over the lumps and bumps of coarse chip in South Island as well.

BMW New Zealand is celebrating after clinching the marque’s top global ranking for the ratio of BMW M cars among the overall model mix in its sales last year. Registrations of BMW M high-performance vehicles, such as the M3, increased by 31.7 per cent in New Zealand in 2023 when compared with the prior year. The company notes combined sales of high-performance and performance models, the latter including the M340i xDrive, increased by 3.6 per cent over the calendar year. The best-selling BMW to wear an M badge was the all-electric, 400kW i4 M50, which increased its sales by 108 per cent in 2023. It was also the leading BMW M model worldwide for the second year running. Other notable performers locally were the M2 Coupe, pictured, with 22 registrations last year and sales of the iX M60 jumped by 122 per cent. Adam Shaver, BMW Group NZ managing director, says the “outstanding numbers” underline the appetite for BMW M cars and that consumers also recognise the benefits of an all-electric powertrain in a performance vehicle. “We look forward to building on this result in 2024 with a dynamic and diversified portfolio of BMW M cars,” he adds. “The i5 M60 xDrive will have its first full year on sale and in the coming months we will introduce the first-ever X2 M35i xDrive, which will bring a new, high-output offering to the luxury crossover segment.” Annual global sales of BMW M cars surpassed 200,000 for the first time in 2023, with total volume increasing by 14.3 per cent compared with 2022.

If my memory serves me right, it was a grey one and it didn’t look like it sold, think it “expired”.
