Printed on the sidewall of the tyre is the word 'Thread Wear' and a number... what is that number please. You can see the beginning of the word Tread on the bottom right of the last photo

What is the wear rating?

still looking

Still, still available.

ICYMI seller has lowered his expectation to nearly realistic levels...$40k... I think it was $55 before. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m5/listing/3423355981

I can't resist. Right.... a 32 year old car with 111k kms on it.... I'm sure it's been driving in the winter..... NOT! Also, it's very, very cold in Alberta, so cold they don't use salt on the roads, just sand, so even if it was driven it hasn't been exposed to salt.

The boot spoiler is hideous. Has no place on a grand tourer.

For comparison... you could buy this and import it for less than $55,000, if you can tolerate LHD. Only 111,000 kms. https://www.kijijiautos.ca/cars/bmw/m5/used/#vip=23726794

Interesting to know that was a factory detail. I'm still not a fan but at least it is OEM.

I'm not a fan of the awful different colour body kit and the adjustable suspension. If that is the factory body kit, then it's awful because it's the wrong colour, strange. When I ran the vin the production date came back as 1988. Strange? Also, we're these really made in GB? VIN WBSHD910X02899702 Code / Type E34 / HD91 Vehicle History Get a car report instantly!

$275... like i says in the ad.

STILL AVAILABLE. Swapping backed out after many covid delays. How needs these? I want them gone!

I'd like a set of stock Z3 2.8 springs, though I think any 6 cyl Z3 should do. Ideally I'd like motorsport springs (such as off of a Japanese import), but I'd settle for anything stock. Anybody have some lying around? Thank.

Sure, but that's not a 'Touring', don't you know a touring doubles the utility... and the price. 🤣

My 2 bits. You had it inspected, so it's your problem if it's not what you expected. Your inspection guy should have caught these things, clearly he didn't take the time/care you expected. Granted the seller was not exactly forthright, but when buying a car with 300,000 kms there's always going to be issues. Also, it's only $1300... a pittance in BMW terms. Your answered your own question in your post... suck it up, I'm afraid 🙂

Agree, on the surface the price seems outlandish BUT, these cars are begin listed for $150k-$250k. I have a hard time believing anyone is buying at this price but more then one party seems to think it's possible. So, 50k for this car 70k for resto and you can still make 20k-50k profit... if you can sell it.

LOL, a stupid price and no decent photos..curious marketing strategy.

Holy S*T an E28 with less than 300,000 kms... it might be worth the asking price!

Yup, the dreamers are getting a dose of reality. Still all overpriced by at least another 5k, but in another year or two... who knows?

Precisely! Half the kms... While these high kms cars can be in 'immaculate' condition, there's no denying that more kms equal more loose panels, more rattles and squeaks, etc..

The problem with valuing these it there are so few and none are changing hands. I looked on Contrails and baulked at $16k but in the end I am led to believe he refused higher offers. (no dog box BTW). I agree with you that this is 10k overpriced, but we'll never know until it sells. 😐

LOL, from bimmer.work... 199 Equipment For Leaded Fuel Ausstattung Bleihaltiger Kraftstoff Nice, ZA using leaded fuel in 2001... what would be different in the engine?

Z3s are going up but this is pretty 'optimistic' Granted, it is very low kms and the best one available. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/z3/listing/3317065438
