  1. Sold to Barry! Congrats mate, I hope you enjoy the car like I have :)! Keep us updated with how you get on bringing her back to her former glory!
  2. Note: No errors codes or engine check lights.
  3. Yep would be matt's old car - from a very long time ago though haha. Open to offers - I think the car might also possibly need a new battery or maybe just a good charge as the car isn't being used at the moment.
  4. Thanks guys - spread the word !
  5. Cheers Qube. Hahahaha yeah sorry for the multiple delete + repost... I was using CTRL+ENTER instead of SHIFT+ENTER to go to the next line - and it kept posting it before I had finished my bad! Yes, if I had the space too I would love to spend a little bit of money and bring her back to her former glory - will be an exciting project for someone!!
  6. Hi Guys I've finally moved on from the old E39 to the newer F10, so am looking to sell the long-serving 530i. Some of you might remember the car from many years ago. The car is certainly in need of some TLC to get her back up to scratch - but has many positives too, and would make for a really good project for whoever has some time and effort to put into it. Please read below for positives & negatives. I have listed all details which I am aware of at this stage. Car Details: 2002 BMW 530i Motorsport INDIVIDUAL E39 NZ New 265,000 kms Le-Mans Blue Metallic Black Leather Interior with INDIVIDUAL package blue stitching, and with aluminum trim. M-Sport package including door-trims, steering wheel, wheels, front/rear bumpers etc. Positives: Although high kms - engine and gearbox seem to be just as powerful and smooth as ever - car has had regular servicing throughout my ownership (I have had this car since 130,000km ish). Interior condition - namely Leather + Trim etc. - in very good condition for its age - aside from some minor issues which will be mentioned below. All 4 tyres have very good tread - approx 70%+ all round. Paint condition - overall - is decent, especially when considering the Kms. Car still has a current Rego. - Expires late July. Stereo just as good as ever, car comes with tube subwoofer/amp in boot. Negatives: Front Brake Rotors likely worn - causing steering wheel to shake while braking - will need replacement. - Rears look OK. On occasions there appears to be a water leak on passenger rear side - I believe this is possibly due to rear windscreen seals being worn - Car has mostly been stored in the garage so has been OK. Front Bumper has a significant number of small stone chips - simply just from the mileage - could use a respray. Front passenger side fog light cracked. Slight fading on headlights - might buff out (common with most E39s). 2 known rear left Parking sensors (PDC) broken, as such the PDC system is non-functional - could use sensor replacements. Front Drivers seat recline adjustment issues - seat can still slide forward/back, however seat struggles to recline - possibly seat recline motor - still gets power all OK. Steering wheel decay from heat/use, functional but cracked/wear n tear at the top (see photo). Dent in drivers side door (approx 10cm). Rear bumper small wave/warping in center - paint all OK. Small dent/scratch on rear passenger side pillar area. Main key remote low on battery, other ones are completely dead (don't work) - this is possibly causing the alarm to go off randomly on very rare occasion - could just be key battery. Spare wheel in boot has a flat/damaged tyre on it. As you can see, this car can certainly be brought back to its former glory with a little time and effort. I still love driving this thing, even compared to much newer cars. The E39 is really a timeless classic. Looking for around the $2,500 mark - or give me an offer. Car is in Takanini, Auckland. Contact me on 021 778 376 for any further questions or to arrange a viewing/test drive etc. Cheers DaveO

    Awesome car with great character! GLWS
  14. Really not sure yet Michael, I think the budget for the next car will be 20k-ish though, giving me a bit extra to play with on Interior Design and home decor etc. I'll need to look around for what I could get for that money. Will arrange test drive of Toyota IQ.
  15. Not a BMW sorry guys, but I am thinking of selling my Benz as I am about to move into my first home and need a little extra cash for stupid things like fridge, couch etc. 2007 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Flint Grey NZ New 118,000 kms Full Service History (serviced last month, everything required was done) 14 months full AutoSure Premium mechanical warranty remaining (covers pretty much everything!) Slightly louder exhaust tone than most (sounds incredible, but not overwhelming) Car is in mint condition, you will struggle to find anything wrong with this beauty. MB quoted performance figures: 514 horsepower, 630 nm torque 12.4 quarter mile, 4.4sec 0-100kph. First registered New in NZ in November 2007. WOF/REG til December this year. Tyres all round near-new. I chose this car after hunting around for some time, the decision being made when I saw the rare Flint Grey colour (99% of the ones you will see are silver, black, white). This is the best car I have ever owned by a long long way. Perfect for not only long trips down to the Coromandel, but excellent for city driving too. It really is the complete package. Bang for buck vs luxury & performance, for a top end German car - you can't go past the E63! For Bimmersport: $36,500 with personalized plate V8M, or $35,500 without.
