Wow that's expensive! 

Didn't even make $26K last time around.

Sad to see another drivers car destined for someones garage in the hope that it will double their money.

You would think for that price they would've put the throwing star covers on the correct way ?

They can't even price it realistically so what would they know about covers

its good to see that the rear valence and tow hook cover ddont line up any better on this than they did on my 535

Now this would be me but its twice as much as i would consider

If I had that money to throw at that type of car, I'd be looking for a Mercedes W124 500E.
And I'd be getting a lot of change... Buy carefully out of Japan (for example) and you'd be getting towards having a pair of cars for that price.

I would buy THAT car only because it is a e34m5 and a 3.8 at that.Thats the only reason i would buy it.The manual e31 is also of interest

I agree with the sentiment flowing that the price is kind of ridiculous- almost in line with zany,  over-ambitious Oz pricing! However, it is a mega rare example in what appears to be in lovely condition - and in a fantastic colour. 

There were only a handful of Kiwi-new E34 M5’s in the first place. Sadly one was written off, and a number of (including UK and South African) examples have inter- planetary mileage these days.

I personally think this is a $30-$40k car. I know that falls into nice E39 M5 territory (certainly a few more options if you want to buy one of those). However these cars were so rare in the first place - with their engines even hand built! I think this deserves to sit in a nice collection. The values for these (mint examples) are slowly on the rise everywhere around the world.

Seems like a lot of Christchurch dealers seem to getting on this 'Ask for exobeherent price for a Classic BMW' train.  Must be something in the water lately.

Same true of one or two Land Rover specialists down there, asking 2-3x what the vehicles are worth.

There’s also some very special, rare classics sitting in garages down there that keep a very low profile. 

Case in point, only earlier this year, Max a member here (who was trying to sell the late model E39 M5 in LMB that had a front -end rebuild) accidentally by word of mouth came across a 50,000 km e39 M5 in carbon B that was sitting in a 12 car collection just out of Cch. 

No one knew about that car at all. (Subsequently sold for a profit and now lives in Auckland).

Most people in the industry knew about it but Christchurch is very small so it's often who you know more than anything
