This will be a reminder (blog?) of the things it needs doing etc. Done so far: Replaced headlight adjusters to get a WOF Bellar's replaced the camshaft sensor to fix a start issue Things that need doing: Suspension... -done Windowscreen rubber has perished - Done No FM radio reception... Instrument cluster pixel fix - Done! Headunit replacement/Speaker refresh TYRES! Dent magician or similar Fix lower front bumper split - cable tie... Done for now. Front seat refresh? Boot lid struts This list will grow...

So Christmas just past I dashed off to West Auckland to buy this - e39 535i with 3 pedals from factory.

Thread necro... Failed warrant today as headlights won't adjust. Google brought me here 🙂 I'll contact Milland for 63120027924. Anything else I should replace while I'm in there? ps. Prefacelift non xenon e39.

Wow an unwarrantable car due to rust issues for 18K - what a bargain!

$1 reserve originally listed for $27k? Some reality at last.

Beacham

The Transporter?

Dumb question - if they had the car repainted why did it need a full paint correction?

Bought the 535i...

If you drive it with the hatch open and the bass thumping does it go faster?

My son will be 16 shortly and is looking forward to driving which has me thinking... Now I'm old but when I was a lad you always learned in a manual car and sat the test in one so you didn't have the 'auto only' label. Given how hard it is to find manual cars these days is it worth bothering about... Insurance - which bottom feeding bastards should I steer him towards? Anyone gone through this recently?

Went for $14K. More than I thought given it's auto - strong late bidding.

Crazy money for a manual converted car.

At work so can't watch yet but do hate those rims...

Not sure I see the value here... really?

That thing looks better than new!

That sunroof is pretty funky... Reminds me of a boat hatch.

If not a motorsport big dollars...

Was mentioned last page. Crazy price regardless of options. I don't see the appeal or desire for the 4 door model and can't recall seeing them sell for over 20k.

Steering wheel update I think. Added dirt...

Back again...

Nice clean oven you have there 🤣

So should see it on trademe for 30K soon!

Much nicer looking car with the type 66 wheels... Would want to change out the headunit and maybe motorsport steering wheel also.

$1 reserve m3 (cab) Value guide perhaps?
