Check this out. Claiming that this was the very first M5 wagon. Sounds legit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121227998414 Do want.

Love the interview with Jim while he is driving at 14mins. Even a Hi to NZ.

That sort of money will get you what you are after. And you won't have to live on the fringes of Auckland. E.g. Our current house is in that range. 4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Bathrooms, massive outside decking, Double garage with boat storage. (we have 6 cars). Two of the large bedrooms have en suites. And a great view of the Gulf. House is around 18 years old. Will take some effort but you will be happy. I have no intention of settling here for good either. But this is where the jobs are. And there is so much to do and see. 2 hours and you are in the Corromandel. 1 hour and you are at Puke or Hampton Race track. BMW Race series is a good past time by the way

Beachlands is a bit overrun by south aucklanders going to the beach for a wash/swim on the weekends. Though with the expansion of Howick/Botany it is growing super fast and the housing quality is quite good. Traffic has to funnel down one road to get in and out however. I am out there every other Thursday for Poker games and more often than it should I get detoured for crashes or roadworks. Is a good hour to town/newmarket during normal working hours. If you can set your own hours go for being at work by 7 or 7:30am and leave at 4 or 4:30. Leaving at 5 will add 30 mins to your drive. I would have thought BP would set themselves up in Albany. It is where everyone else is going. I live in Torbay and work in Albany. Takes me 6 mins to get to work.

Yeah said it in the other M5 post. This one looks like its been well used. Paint shows every imperfection. Black M5's never grab my attention as much for some reason. Unsure why.

You poor bugger. Newmarket and its surrounding areas would have to be the most congested places in New Zealand imo. I used to work in Newmarket and travel from Howick (East Auckland). Would take me anywhere between 30mins and 1hr 30mins. TBH when friends have moved to Auckland in the past nearly all the places so far suggested I have said to avoid. If you rented your current home would it cover the mortgage? I would just rent up here.
-
See now that looks well used. Those photos show every paint imperfection. Sunset is a horrible time for photos.

Bronson. Can you please stop digging up old threads. Send a message direct to the person if the last post is older than 2 months. These are from April.

Then it is a steal. Most others I have seen have been pretty well used compared to this one.

I have the exact same car but with BBS RS003 wheels and a stock rebuilt motor insured through the AA. Agreed value of $8000. Costs me $400 per year for full cover. My cars only worth around 8 at a max if it was mint. Which it is not (stuffed paint). Any higher than 8K and they wanted me to get the car valued. What was the full respray worth BTW?
-
How do you know its a good deal or worth every dollar? That's just a bid not necessarily what it is going to go for. I would have thought this would be a mid 30's to 40's car at a minimum. Certainly the best one that has been for sale in the last year or more if it checks out.

Looks like the gear stick is cut down to me.

Haha other way around buddy. Console players got thrashed. As when you turn off autoaim which most FPS console games use you can't aim accurately at all. Slow dull movement with the controller etc.. http://www.oxm.co.uk/21262/xbox-vs-pc-scrapped-because-of-imbalance/ I have a 360 which I am trying to flick off. And have no interest in the next gen consoles. But if anyone is playing BF4 on PC let me know. As soon as I get a wheel I will join you in rfactor Ashkan.

I hardly ever update my one. But its about a race car. That bores most people doesn't it?

Know of an AKL tire/brake specialist open 31/12 or 01/01/14?

They will not even smile and continue to hold out their hand for the GST. -
More than enough inputs. I will update the Map ecu 2 to the latest firmware this coming weekend. I will also look at tapping a temp sensor for the new diff before I put it in.

BMW new. Or Pelican. They are your only options tbh. At least Pelican do a kit so you don't have to find the individual part numbers.

Hold up. Well Respected? South Island forum member? ??????? -
Nice work. Nearly there. She just needs a big turbo on the side and you can come play with James, Dan and myself in the BMW Open A.
-
Josh I am near ready to drop the motor in the E34. Point me in the right direction for sensors and switches that are best compatible with the unit. Also for Gear selector switches is it best to install before the box is put in? Also have forgotten how many inputs you told me it has.
-
Was going to say sell it to the US. Ebay.com. Shipping via Mainfrieght for something like that is around $150 via sea. I buy very little from NZ any more. Inflated prices and few options are my reasons.

Would rather something like this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-M5-3-8-346BHP-1992-Left-Hand-Drive-LHD-/291001975252?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item43c111c1d4 Mainly because who wants an M3 that is only good for sitting in the garage and photo shoots. It needs be hooned.
