Yep, a shame the facebook marketplace behavior has shifted across.

Maybe not an outright ban, i reckon a cost prohibitive conditioning exercise...

Looks like an e12 M535i in the last pic ?

Ended up with a 2012 30D. 1 owner from new (nz new) with 64k.

Saw this car at East Auckland BMW yesterday. It’s pretty mint!

You may want to re-consider an older bmw then!

I didn’t notice a change of ride height when i did all the susp late last year. I didn’t replace springs though. There’s factory ride height specs you can look up I think. Maybe sitting a tad higher on the 18”s?

Ah this must be the one that featured in a video clip doing limiter bashing skids.

Rear subframe bushes done? Worn out in the tourings really let them down.

Bad owners and our hot summers.

When i had my touring i sourced some outer tail lights through ebay uk. The inner tail lights which go yellow and bulge are hard to find in good nick. New they are quite expensive. $600 i think for the pair.

Can’t seem to look past the f25. They certainly drive the best out of all suv’s we’ve test driven. Having driven a few of the n55 examples they’re certainly no slouch and have a nice bark. I’ve lined up a 20d and 30d for this weekend to test drive and will probably make a decision from there. Thanks for all the input!

Should feel amazing afterwards. Especially over dips in the road at higher speeds. Did you go for oem sachs shocks?

You could try swapping the wheels front to back to get an idea if there are issues.

Had considered the 28i but hard to look past the 35i when pricing is pretty much the same.

Looking at diesel 2017 cx-5 on Friday. Pre 2017 diesels seem to have quite the bad rep. Was your one expensive to fix engine wise?

Dreaming.

https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-3061820931.htm Overall good nick, did notice some corrosion on the alu bits in the engine bay so would def need a closer look underneath, and a check over of usual anti rust coating areas.. Looking at 2017+ cx-5 and 2015+ outbacks, maybe the xv and Forrester too. Can’t say there’s alot of enthusiasm towards Audi, VW or Kia, Hyaundai etc. Not in a huge rush so willing to hunt around seeming as there’s f uck all else to do atm 😅

Test drove a 35i x3 and an f48 x1 25i. X3 is a nicer car compared to the x1. Feels more bmw like and the n55 is a decent unit. X1 to me felt more hatch back like but the b48 engine is awesome. Tempted to pull the trigger on x3 but will look at a few non bmw suv’s in our price range to compare.

Yeah the silver one. Not too fussed about m sport on the x1 tbh. F25 definitely looks better with msport bits.

There’s a 2015 x1 25i for about 3k more than the x3 35i we’re going to look at. I guess the b48 is still to new to reveal any secrets. Which is a good thing in my case haha.

A friend has one and has a good run. He mentioned the dealer he bought it from did the “blue” delete and got more “performance” iirc they’re basically a 40d with the adBlue emissions crap?

It’s mainly for wife but i’ll be using it a fair bit. We’re also considering the f48 x1 with the 25i b48 lump.

In the market for one. Leaning towards an N55 equipped model. Aside from usual maintenance and oil leaks are these generally pretty good?
