No offence, I understand they are rare, but you could buy a very nice E39 540i for that money. Wasn't the IS just a runout model?

Bodies

Best to go see a broker who will look at your whole insurance portfolio. They cost nothing and can save you lots of time and money.

Its good to see karma has come to get you after destroying my beautiful city!!!

NZ New will be Getrag i'd say

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Some people want mega bucks for them, but I think ten is absolute tops. Anything in particular to look out for?

Spotted a 94 540i manual NZ new for sale, in white with leather travelled 190kms. Above average condition. What do you guys reckon its worth? The seller is open to offers

Nice to see another clean NZ-new E36. You have done very well!

This happened to me. You will need to go to a BMW dealer and get them to reprogramme it, as sometimes the keys fall out of synchro with the car. Costs bugger all too

How come under one username you are selling the E200 $1 reserve, and the other asking for a Merc W124 engine in the "Wanted" category.... What are the details on the E36?

I want some of what the seller is smoking!

I wonder if you ordered a new car from a US dealership, they would allow you to have in manufactured in RHD? I heard someone saying that Porsche might do this. The nicely optioned 335i example above at $48k works out to be just under $65k NZD. (www.xe.com) Add GST = $73,125 Add shipping = $76k ish..... Or, from bmwusa.com a new M5 is $82,900. Thats less than $130k to your door in NZ.

Has anyone here done an E39 trans swap?

When you compare purchasing power parity (differences in mean wages), that 40k gap grows even more!

Went to the auction... The wheels are proper Hartge's. The car was quite tidy, with only defects (I could see) being ripped upholstery and a bit of paint fading. Passed in at $2500

Does anyone know what sort of wheels these are? I think they could be Alpinas. Any thoughts? Turners Can't upload a photo for some reason....

Just like window wipers!

I hope she's attractive

Still waiting for my beer!

Original sales brochure in mint condition TradeMe link

That car is like new!

Has anyone looked at or bought a $1 reserve car from camstain1 on TradeMe? They also go by the name Oval and have the website www.oval.co.nz. They seem to sell about a dozen fresh imports at no reserve every week. Lots of E36 BMW's too. I see they sell some very cheap cars on there, but their feedback is mixed (looks like there are a few lemons amongst them). Just interested to hear your experiences / thoughts.

I just say that as its often not worth the investment repairing. What year / engine is it?

Sell it $1 reserve, as is where is, on TradeMe...

I guess thats a typo and its 500,000 kms. 5 mil would be world record material!
