  1. It is a facelift M Sport E70 with the N55 3.0L Turbo engine and ZF8 speed gearbox - a very nice combination if you prefer petrol over diesel. Relatively low mileage at 133,xxx kms. Very tidy inside and out for its age. Definitely one of the better conditioned ones for this model. Has reversing camera and parking sensors installed. Keyless start and door lock/unlock which is rare for this model, 2 keys.

    Fresh 1 year wof and 1 year rego all paid for. Has 2 new front tyres, engine oil and filter replaced, air, cabin and AC filters all replaced.

     

    Listed on TM for $16900 but will take $16000

     

    Let me know if you have any questions

  2. I used to run 18x8.5 et22 square with 235/40/18 on an e46 coupe non M and had to roll the guards. it still would rub on bumps at speed. the guards could have been rolled a bit more though.

    a good fitment example for the e46 non M is the style 193 with 225/40 + 255/35 tyres.

    you can use these specs as a reference to see how the apex/work wheels might fit

  3. Hey Smithy, 

    Havent been on here in a while but what a nice surprise you are now the proud owner of a mini! I love them and Ive owned plenty whilst in NZ.

    The N14 is not as horrible as everyone makes it out to be (if you are a car guy and a BMW fan you are already familiar with oil leaks and the like)

    Most notorious is the timing chain issue but its really just because these engines love to burn through engine oil and negligent owners run the engine dry so make sure to keep it topped up or change it every 8000km (still check in between - it should be 4L).

    Ive bought one before and drained the oil to find only 1.5L of engine oil come out lol.. after new oil the car ran perfect and no issues.

    Walnut blast and oil catch can are both good things to do!

    Good tyres will make a huge difference to grip and handling and then look at suspension bushes because most likely they are no good. 

     

    Enjoy!! 

     

    p.s. wheres the photos?

  4. I dont think its too suspicious, also since the listing is for a baur, i would imagine it could be an older person who is interested which may explain the dated(ish) email address and lack of trade history. Not everyone is constantly buying and selling on fb, they could have been referred the listing from a friend and have only used tm for a few transactions in the past etc.

    As others have said, give them a call and talk in person.

    Anything that suggests overseas or paypal then obviously stay away.
