We've made an offer on a house, and probably won't have space for the 4 BMWs and 2 Mercedes in the drive, and the E30 in the garage. (The Cordobarot E36 318i saloon is already for sale.) The 320d has been used very little over the last 12 months - that's why there's been nothing by way of updates on my thread about it. It passed WoF this morning (1st December) so has 12 months WoF, and I have added 3 months rego - now expires 4th Feb 2018. It does have some reasonable mileage under it's wheels - just over 300000 miles. A tiny bit under 500000km. Everything works. I'll check, but I think even the aircon is cold. It is virtually completely stock, as it left the factory. Only changes are that the front downpipe has had the cat removed (by Sinco, in Hamilton - superb piece of work), and a towbar was fitted at some point prior to our ownership - it wasn't there when we bought he car. Original rims, original spare wheel, even the original load bay roller blind / cover. The only thing I'd plan to do, if keeping it, would be to tidy the paint. It does have chips across the leading edge of the bonnet, and there are some other areas which would benefit from attention. No dents or similar. Comes with possibly the biggest pile of history you'll see on a car of this type. Massive detail, going back to before it was imported to NZ from the UK. Tyres are all good condition Michelins. I can continue with more details, but it's all been covered in my project thread: Just to keep things above board, here's a pic: Price... Always tricky. $4000

I think when any car gets old and has been owned by a "normal" person, they need a lot of love to get them back to "enthusiast" standard and I don't think the e39 is any exception. Pro's: it's an e39. Con's: owning two of them and indecision on which one to drive on any particular day....

Hey just signed up ive owned 7 bmws in the past but have only just found this site, heres my e34 525i cheers

Yeah I miss those days....

Bump. If any BS members are interested in buying then contact me. I’m getting married in 2 weeks so if I’m to sell this car it’s now or never!

Im one of the people that have commented on the FB thread. I saw the car at OCD when I was last in Auckland back in August and was disappointed in some of the panel gaps and paint (front drivers corner), thought I could see that its a well loved car. As for your prices, this car has essentially been put together with 2 written off cars so your figures are incorrect. Say less than 2K for a damaged Touring and 15K for a written off M3? Yes there is a lot of time thats gone into this build, but if you have the donor M3 it helps a lot (like any conversion). Question? Whats a E46 318CI worth thats been converted into an M3 by using a written off M3 as a donor?
