Though not as rare as manual 840i's, this is a relatively unique car - BMW only made 98 examples with a 6-speed manual versus around 1,000 in automatic for the 850i (in rhd). Try getting another manual E31 in NZ -especially a 850i - slim pickings.
Mauritius blue - nice colour too. Low miles for a car nigh on 30 years old.
Shame it doesn't have the M-tech body kit, or have 17" style 5's or throwing stars like the latter E31's.
Personally, I see E31 prices all over the place- quite hard to price. The 850i's with inter-galactic travel that have been poorly maintained - are deemed boat anchors by many, and can be a hard to sell at $10k. A nice one on the other hand with solid provenance, history, and reasonable mileage could be a $15-30k car.
If this car has the history and has been maintained - I see it from $20-$25k.
Once again, on a global perspective, nice 8's are on the rise - not just the 840ci sports and fabled 850csi's.
As usual, the NZ market is conservative, and does not necessarily follow international trends. However, this is a rare car and deserves to go to a good home.
