LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted July 9, 2017 Hey All, I'm chch based, but Will be doing a BMW shopping trip in Auckland, this Sunday the 16th July, because that's apparently where all the nice ones are. Mainly thinking Touring, any series, But I'm open to others. V8 Preferred and/or Manual, but something smaller Motorsport and well setup might tempt me, I loved the sh*t out of my E30 323 Coupe. Just thought I'd drop this here to see if anything is hiding off classifieds/trade me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aja540i 1895 Report post Posted July 10, 2017 Ah, the irony. Coming from CHCH to AKL to look for cars and a nice candidate on trademe is listed as being in AKL but is actually in CHCH! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if I turn down all the Jafa wagons that one finishes it's Auction the week after :-) I wish it hadn't met reserve already, I'd definitely consider it a strong candidate, but without knowing what the end price will be...
