I know of an E39 M5 for sale .... :-)

Nz-new and low kms wins every time. Car buyers in general have been brain washed in to thinking lower kms is better. Not always the case and there are many variables. I.e the car with 29k on the clock has virtually no suspension wear as it's probably been driven on smooth roads. On the other hand, the engine is coked up from short trips or lots of idling in traffic. The same car might have some serious rust setting in as it spent lots of time on salted roads, which may be why the kms are so low due to roads being snowed over. If you're turning the car over in 1-2 years a lower kms example will probably sell for more.

The below is very much applies when selling M cars.. 'NO TEST PILOTS OR TYRE KICKERS' Sort permission out with the other half before viewing, please!

As per topic title, cheers.

Bump!

Went for a fang out to Maraetai.

I could be wrong but the model 'CSI' does? Coupe Sports Injected ? Much like the 850 CSI Which has the M goodies ?

You forgot spinners.

Agree. Having driven an e34 M5 3.6.

No this is the other one. good to meet ya and your e28 looks tits! Especially with the staggered style 5's!

Love the E60 but mostly because of that engine. Having been for a joy ride in Andrews wagon and Brents M6 convertable i'm a believer!

50 years sideways is a great Rallying doco. There's also a Group B one but I can't quite remember the name of it.

BMW told the USA assuming there are no oil or vacum leaks 1 litre per 800miles. Any more under warranty and you get a new short block. I just topped up with 500ml after about 2200km so bugger all really.

Body is in emaculate condition

Yep and it will happily crawl along @ idle in 2nd gear.

The interior colour is probably not to everyones taste but i think it's a fair price considering there's another one up for 33k on tm at the moment. Kiwi new seems to also be more desirable but the truth is the kiwi new cars were no way near as well spec'd as the other markets.

That's e46 M3 money. Or even E39 M5 money with change left over for gas

Bump

The Munich plant is really fascinating. You feel it in your feet when the press machines are stamping the body parts. Next time I go i want to visit the Dingolfing plant.

There was a really detailed thread on here from another member who did the subframe mounting repair and re-enforcements using epoxy. Great work restoring this beautiful car!

I tested it with a 9v batt and it appears to be dead, probably just the elec motor. It's yours if you want it.

Yeah genuine bmw brakes are the best bet imo for this kind of car.

With bmwccnz discount it was $1200.00 all up.
