Not actually BMW branding Dave, Smit Vehicle Engineering's Oletha, acknowledging the Z4/Z8

Doubt it. Just a silhouette car. Not even motorsport seats. And wheels sets are worth just what someone wants to pay. With rising costs and Arrow Wheels, and Elite wheels ( in Christchurch) now charging $1600 plus to refurb and repair sets, Apex and VMR direct out of the USA are a more cost efficent or economic option today.

Ohh of course, another free listing day on TradeMe .........I'm lost for words...........all dealer bolt on bits. Shame about the wheels a good set is worth more than the ask for car 😁

Nice, a great set of wheels ready for a winter refurb. Its very therapeutic both for the mind and the wallet. 😁

A corporate would have owned the car and sucked the depreciation quite happily. I'd be very surprised if an individual owned the car within the first 24 months

Glorious sounds here. . Followed by 13 more mundane "sniff" BMW engined cars. https://twitter.com/hjwakerley/status/152906539764

Type two there thanks though Gaz. I'll get a set outta Germany probably. There is a chap in Linwood with a set, thinks they are national treasures and selling like hot cakes at $3500. Been for sale all year. 😁

Long shot I know, anyone have an unwanted set of these for the E36 any colour any condition. Well, good to restorable condition.😕 Also ACS Type 1 monoblock rims 17x8 ET35 from memory, a good set of those too. Call me 029 777 4006. Thanks for reading

Without a doubt the enforced Covid layoffs for both motor bike and car racing has given each of the sports a tremendous boost in popularity, moreso perhaps for the watcher. Our Youtube and other channels have been very active of late. Further to Twistee's first post , while segueing smoothly off topic (slightly) this has popped up for sale quite close to home too. The ask appears (to us anyway) quite affordable. Hmm, with a little bit of juggling both in the garage, and the wallet surely space should be found for this? 😁 Discuss.... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/bmw/listing/3602370567?bof=bHgVunfq

Shamelessly plagiarised..........

An excitable guy here.................

Tell me what you have, and your location. PM is good or call / text 029 777 4006. Thanks for reading

Hmmm that's not my experience with Southern Specialist Cars. Visited twice in the past two or three years and would not recommend the experience. 😡 Its a bit hard to get a handle on their business model when they are expecting 50% margins on now slower moving stock items. Probably why some of the cars are now sale proof perhaps.

Veering right off the E39 but staying with the Alpina theme, these cars perform almost like nothing else: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/z4/listing/3552426877?bof=EWW7gL8N

Awaiting howls of outrage from this abuse of artistic licence: 😁 " the secret BMW didn't want you to know is that when it came to the E39 5-series, the near-beer model was a step above its M counterpart in nearly every conceivable way."

Have Apex ARC8 in Hyper black (Shadow chrome) 18x10ET25, 18x9ET42 available. Ideal fitment for your M4. Call or text 029 777 4006.

Recently fitted Koni Sportpaket shocks and new H&R springs being part of the kit. So lowered ride height 40mm Front 15mm rear. However, not a fan of the rake look now, any suggestions (short of replacing the H&R with Eibach) to either raise the front and / or drop the rear a tad more. Someone suggested E46 top hats (whatever these are) will raise the front a bit The suspension change certainly improved the handling and ride. And the fitting of a quick rack with help from M3AN is a plus too. Any comments welcomed.

I doubt it sold for 35k as you assume Gaz. But yes it probably did sell in trade, and quickly as the comments show. Lets wait and see😉

Looking for the low riser GT similar to pix. Anyone or point me in the right direction. Also seeking Right hand door rubber, a sound undamaged torn one if such a thing exists. Also the Business CD41 radio / stereo unit as fitted in period. Swap for contemporary Blaupunkt Bavaria with chrome knobs( Makes a nice noise but visually just not suited) Both items to suit 1993 S50 Coupe. All replies answered, thanks.

Sums up the present government perfectly. And the seller of the M3. It has had several birthdays on the market.
