    πŸ™‚hi I bought it.. It's immaculate! / Very original. From Japan into NZ in 1999, first owner 18 years. and all paperwork, Paint is perfect, etc, drives fantastic... I don't know a lot about the different models but It must be the euro spec / not the USA 3.0L??? πŸ˜• because it has the oil temp gauge not the fuel economy gauge / speedo to 280 not 260 and throttle bodies for every cylinder rather than just one throttle body.. I had a yellow E36 M3 Evo 3.2 about 7 years ago (CEY950) sold it for $14k 😞 ... This one feels the same, good memories coming back, just need the seats to be reconditioned a wee bit and a few wee touch ups on the passenger door card, the leather is lifting. Otherwise it's like new!!! πŸ™‚

    This car represents the epitome of British sports car design. It has a purity that cannot be matched by anything leaving the factory today. A true classic that has endured for sixty years and will still look good in another sixty years !!! Video here... https://youtu.be/ze6MTz0fkmY Cheers...

    Get in the car with a high-power torch and get your wife / girlfriend / significant other to spray the car with a hose pipe on full flow. Try all the suspect areas, door, sun-roof, etc one at a time - for a good period of time, minutes not seconds. Hopefully the torch will show up some drips that you can then follow back to the point where the water is getting in.

    Cert or not, I think for $8K it will be gone very quick - Tidyish, clean interior, M42, manual with some quality parts on it... Looks better than half of the slower 320i's *trying* for $10k+

    That's a good looking car, nice work! 😲 That's a lot of money to spend without knowing if it was a genuine M3 or a fettled 328! But of course it's RHD so not a US model. I couldn't sell mine in 2008 for $17k... sort-of glad now...

    Purchased this on trademe to fix a problem I had on a car. Now no longer required. https://www.autel.nz/maxicom-mk808bt/ For details. Bluetooth model works perfectly. I even had the subscription transferred to my name so I can release this again for the new owner to register. Up to date for most common models from what I can see. $750

    Very rarely do these 530d's come up for sale but the time has come to move on my pride and joy. I have owned this vehicle for the last seven months and it has been nothing but pure driving pleasure. This particular vehicle is presented in Carbon Black with black leather. It has been meticulously maintained by myself and it's previous owners. I have done a full service on it with all new fuel, cabin, oil, and air filters (K&N performance filter installed). The glow plugs have also been replaced. This particular vehicle is a lower kilometer example. Imported from the UK in 2011 with just 30ks on it, it has spent most of it's life on NZ roads. There doesn't seem to be any accident damage present. There are a few scuff marks etc but I will get a professional cut and polish done before the new owner takes possession of the vehicle. I have serviced it with Penrite HPR5 and Ryco filter's as I swear by their products. Some of the feature's are * 124 ks * Xenon Lights * Headlight Washers * Rain Sensing Wipers * LCI Trim and Tail lights (Halo's are used as DRLs - Daytime Running lights) * 11000 kms RUCs in credit * 3 Litre 173kw (235hp)and 500nm of torque Turbocharged 6 Cylinder Diesel Engine with 6 Speed automatic transmission * Bridgestone RE050A Run-flat tyres with 5 plus mm tread(Full size spare included in sale with Goodyear Eagle NCT-5 Run-flat fitted) Heated seats Automatic Headlamps Over 1000ks per tank on long trips Tinted Windows Navigation with NZ Maps USB and Auxiliary inputs There may have been things I have forgotten to mention but I am happy to answer any questions via text or phone call. KM's will go up as I am daily driving it momentarily. Viewing in Glenfield during business hours or Sandringham after hours. Personalized plates are not included in the sale and neither is the car seat nor radar detector πŸ™‚ After $11, 500 for Bimmersport members Contact SJ on 02102916373 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/3196153938?bof=TbBVUy2T Trademe link

    I hope you get a quick sale for asking price. I think your conundrum is that without at least a LVV inspection the potential buyer also has no idea of time and cost involved, that will make an informed decision impossible. Yes, you might find somebody that's prepared to tear it up and take a risk without a cert but that's going to be a Facebook market that will probably drive you spare with tyre kickers. And will take more of your time than a clean sale. I wonder if you might be able to find a LVV certifier who would be prepared to do a once-over for reasonable money to identify potential risk areas and approximate costs? $350 (guessing) spend on that might provide the comfort a potential buyer needed. But I'm spit balling there, no idea if that's even practical. I'm advised that certifiers are now even checking HT bolts, 8.8 vs 10.9 etc... 😲 Edit: I stopped a simple seat replacement project in my M3 (with genuine Recaro seats and mounts) because it was going to be $1.5k cert. 🀨😯

    Very good work. It will need a cert so why wouldn't you do that before trying to sell? It's unlikely somebody is going to buy something this nice as a track hack so a cert is an almost certainty. I have the same question for anyone not willing to cert a road car before selling... what do you know that might surprise a potential buyer? Certs are an expensive PITA these days, it's truly caveat emptor.

    If it’s anything like the e39 or e92, it could be the door vapor barrier. To check, pull the door card off and check to see the seal is still bonded all the way around. There will be plenty of detail online on how to remove the door card and how to replace the vapor barrier.

    I've got one in my e53 that I was planning on changing/upgrading. The screen isn't the best.

    Was one of these at Caffeine and Classics in AKL on Sunday (along with 500 odd other beauties) - a stunning design - simplicity is best!

    Yes, that obvious to me but that the buyer wasn't sure before purchase?!? All's well that ends well and it's purdy.

    anyone interested in a mtech kitted malachite green 535i? I will have one up for sale in a little while. Regrettable sale but going through a divorce.
