Anyone interested in our 330i M sport touring? Reshuffling the family fleet. Will list on trademe in next few weeks, unless someone wants to snipe it before hand. Very rare 330i touring, UK import (no rust) was bought over by a family immigrating, kinda hard to price as there isnt many out there. 10k seems like a good point? 170xxx km, will check. Sparkling graphite, has cool pink/purple fleck in sun. Automatic, shifts fine in sports and normal Full beans N52B30AF with magnesium rocker cover and hydraulic power steering (for the purity) Standard Msport bits, Dakota Leather interior (manual heated M sports seats which are way lower and have better movement range than the electrics) Android CANBus integrated headunit All works well, no errors or gremlins to worry about. Its a good solid well looked after car. About the only downside is UK apparently didnt like xenon headlights, so its got standard halogens. WBAVS32050AF81214 Its been looked after by me, so is mechanically pretty f**ken shweet Sump gasket/rocker gasket/all other gaskets/waterpump/CCV/engine mounts/shocks (Bilstein B6)/tophats etc etc etc etc have all been replaced in last 30,000km. Full set of new ATE rotors and pads in last 10,000km. Oil changed every 7000km. Wheels were refurbed last year. Will get full detail and clean up before sale, paints pretty good other than a stone chip or two and a bird sh*t etching on bonnet. Cleans up nice. Near new Nankang NS20s. Latest pics I have, will post more if anyones interested.

Sold.

Hey guys reluctantly selling what has been an amazing car to own, my NZ NEW 4.6is in Estoril Blue. 1 of 29 delivered new to NZ in the 2003 year, unsure of how many of those were Estoril Blue. Have owned it for about a year now having used it mostly for big road trips & then 2-3 days a week to the park n ride. Have driven up 90 mile beach to cape rienga & multiple trips to the bach. Currently sits at 197,000km’s with most major work having been done in the last 20,000km’s. Will come with complete service history dating back to 2012 along with original handbooks/manuals, 2 keys & sale agreement. Work done mechanically includes window regulators, cooling system replaced, rocker cover gaskets, spark plugs, ignition coils, handbrake lever, cv boots, tie rods, timing chains, gear position switch, starter motor, battery, rotors & pads, boot-lid mechanism, fuel pipe set, abs control unit, PDC sensors & most recently the alternator. Interior is black nappa leather over Titan shadow trim. Heated seats, cruise control, blah blah I’m sure most of you will decode the vin yourselves. My partner & I have recently got engaged & are planning on moving across the pond hence the sale. Not in any rush right now as would like to see this go to a caring new owner. Still a great car to this day, only thing letting it down is the paint (Bonnet could do with a respray & the front bumper is scratched/slightly dented from previous owner). Would be worth the investment on getting it back to its former glory. Feel free to contact me anytime however I may take a little while to respond depending on time of day. My number is 021 265 5240 or you can check out the Instagram @estblau. I’m sure you know values for these everywhere else have risen, however unfortunately I don’t have the time to wait for the NZ market to catch up. Price is $8,500 for bimmersport, will post on trademe soon.

Hi everyone, I thought I should say since I've only recently joined. I've been thoroughly enjoying reading through all the posts and seeing some beautiful machines here. I started my driving life with a 1984 E30 318i. Such a fantastic analog car to learn to drive in. Alas, that was over 20 years ago, and until now I haven't had the joy of owning another one. I've had my F07 550GT for 9 months, and I love this car. Yea, she has a few quirks, and has cost me a few dollars, but in terms of comfort coupled with her ability for outright speed, I couldn't be happier. Having never owned something with the power as this car has, I have strangely found that I'm quite happy cruising behind slow cars with the knowledge that if I want to, I can easily go past, but mostly don't. Of course I'm certainly aware that I do have the N63B44O0 engine, with all the potential problems that entails. The previous owner has had the stem seals replaced, along with alternator, starter and water pump. I do know I'm up for expensive repairs if something does come up with the N63, I do look after it, with regular services and maintenance. The only change I have made is the muffler delete, and while a little louder than I thought it was going to be, I do love the sound of that v8. I think the tips do look the part. Such a well made and solid vehicle with the nice touches such as soft close, and electric seats front and back (it is a 4 seater). I do have a couple of plans for the future, such as a tune to unlock some more power, but for now I do really love just getting in, pushing that start button, and going for a drive. Oh, my partner is also a BMW owner with her 2010 X1 sdrive18i. Both cars in sapphire black. Anyway, that's me, and I look forward to meeting and talking with you all in the future.

'been'? Still have it, just returned from a lovely afternoon out... it's bloody great! (LSD is a must have). (I see my statement may have been confusing, I meant that I couldn't get that price IF I was going to sell it, which I am NOT!) 🙂

That's exactly it 😀. The total opposite mindset from the ej20 legacy wagon I had before. I'm still surprised about how much I can get in it with the seats folded down. 1700 litres of space is nothing to laugh at. The only thing I really don't like is the charging system in it. I don't drive long enough most of the time, and I can only charge the battery manually if I completely disconnect it from the car. Something stops it if I don't. But if that is my only complaint, I'm more than happy. I've always liked having something a bit different, and I've only seen 1 other in the wild since I bought it.

For sale is our E90 BMW 320D. This is a fantastic car in incredible condition. It has been very well cared for its entire life and has to be one of the best examples around. Sold new at Winger BMW in Wellington the car has a fully documented service history (copies are available if requested). The car has recently had a full paint correction and detail as well as four new Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres which perfectly complement the car. It is incredibly economical to run, especially on longer trips; it returned 4.3l/100km on a recent highway drive.

Yeah great question! The long story is similar to the one @tmase had Genuine screen fitted in April by Novus. The HUD was blurry. A replacement windscreen was sourced and recently replaced by the dealer about 2-3 weeks ago. It was still blurry though. It's definitely a HUD windscreen, and I've just returned from the dealer adjusting the hud but although it's improved, I just don't think it's quite right.

Been a bit busy with renovations lately so car has not had a lot of attention although will be taking it to the Meguiars meet on Sunday. After having my clutch hydraulics replaced it’s driving ‘fine’ but get a little vibration when changing gear so likely I did do a little additional damage (to flywheel??) when I broke down… Have also decided it’s too damn low so will be on hunt for some more moderate lowering springs, ideally with a little more spring rate too - H&R sports? Anyway, will be off to Europe for 5 weeks next week, so the never ending to-do list will have to wait a while!!

You wont be disappointed stepping into a V8 believe me. In fact it will be hard to go back . Oh and don't get too obsessed with 'fuel gauge' watching, as I often say "its not how much it costs to fill a tank that matters. it's how fast you empty it . In all seriousness enjoy your BMW SS Commodore and I'm sure it'll tick all your boxes!
