I demand a 130i duel between @Driftit and @Jacko

The 20d is a solid engine (as @elias noted, the internet is awash with stories of the N47 grenading itself). Excellent fuel economy when combined with the ZF8 if that matters. You'll want a decent commute to make the diesel worthwhile - my 35d takes 15km on the motorway to get oil to temp at this time of year (20d probably better in this regard). The torque of the 6cyl is pretty hard to beat though. If you can find a 335i / 340i in budget (likely mostly luxury line) that could be a good alternative.

That's cool (would be cooler if it were a touring though) "trade in special" is disingenuous at best, first registered in NZ 28/5/25.

Jesus - white does that body no favours (said as someone who loves a touring)

This is a really nice car - hope it can go to another Bimmersporter (also just spotted mineral gray F31-ception in the background of your pic)

๐ฉ for a 60k listing (to save the $50 listing fee apparently) -

The comments don't reflect well on buyer. Price doesn't seem wildly OTT to me. -
Alpina spot

Can't be too many transversely mounted V8's out there! (maybe a few american FWD oddities) I always heard the big Volvos had the turning circle of the titanic as a result.

Fair. You could have a 2021 with 32k km for the price heโs asking (also white though) Hell Iโm sure you could get the Tanzanite m340d for that price. -

@m325i https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m340i/listing/5280721962?bof=GvPIFh6v lower k and a set of new 19โs all round -
https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/340i/listing/5297345757 On a related note I'm f**king sick of AI generated ad text. It's a nice colour but 114k km in 3 years is not low k, it's probably worth half of what they have it up for.
