The E61 is a huge car BTW. When deciding between my old E60 and a similar spec E61 the E60 was an easy pick. What made it seem much bigger was the huge number of blind spots. Especially for my short Mrs.

I keep getting warnings here in the US to go and have my Airbags changed. Must get around to it asap after watching that video. For my 05 E46.

@Gabe79 Yikes as soon as I saw those wheels I thought oh sh*t an upper state car. It's from Ohio. That thing will be so corroded to hell underneath. Did they mention this in the vid? I had to watch it with the volume too low. I mean you still get everything you want though. I would drive that thing. Another issue with many upper state cars is that they only ever get serviced in summer. Yet they still drive the same distances with the fluids subjected to far worse extremes in temp.

Still see the occasional M5 here for under $10k. But my god would they be time bombs.

Nice car. But whenever I see Alpine White cars I can't help but notice the color differences. It might not be this bad in person but the bumpers and side-skirts on that car are a different tone to the rest of the car.

Doug DeMuro on M Cars getting rarer and more expensive

He is pretty well known for his sh*t click bait. -
Yup if you can get the details from the auction.

When your horn goes off randomly whilst driving. But as I live in the US people just think it is normal.

Personally I see this as a bit of a joke. They really are just a normal E30 with body kit. There is nothing special about them outside of aesthetics, some old crap shocks and an LSD. For $30k you can have so much more fun in an E30.

Wait wait wait. Someone bid $17,750 for that car! Hahahahahaha. Am I laughing that it is not worth anywhere near that? Or is it laughter to cover my pain of selling my car for far less than that?

The post is a year and a half old bud. Prob are a little late.

Just say when Logan. I can seriously find you a conversion. -
Got put to work in Scott Dixon's garage on Sunday at Watkins Glenn. Was picked out as a kiwi and they know we don't refuse. Parked next to this clown shoe. I used to love these. But for some reason I have fallen out of love with them. Maybe it's just not dating well?

Manual E60 over all the other M5's for me. -
Haha the car is everything I would want bar the interior. I don't mind it too much. But Samantha hates it. A good 8 out of 10 cars or thereabouts has a beige interior here. Was so hard to find something that didn't. Let me know if you want any ZHP parts for her Bruce.

Wichita Falls? It is probably best you ask on a US BMW forum such as bimmerforums.com This is a New Zealand BMW forum. Our vehicles are specifically programmed for English. It could be the Navigation disc you have. German Nav Disc.

Ah yes WA is a little further away from me. My old HR lady got excited when i told her I was moving to Washington. They had work for me. Everyone got excited until I mentioned it as DC.

Where abouts in the US? Not Houston I hope. Don't mind holding something for you.

I've heard Winston Peters is waiting at the end to high five you.

Ah nice. I will also add that to my list. Stuka Pilot is another good one. Is all about Hans Ulrich Rudel. Dude was shot down 24 times. Destroyed over 500 tanks. I have also seen a few Blackbirds now. The two best ones are here in DC and the Pima Air Museum in Arizona. Pima one you can touch whilst being yelled at by someone telling you not to touch it. There is the A12 on the flight deck of the Intrepid in NYC too (the weather has murdered this aircraft). The others are all in perfect condition. I have two more Shuttles to strike off my list too. Endeavour and Atlantis. These are a sight to behold. So much bigger than you think. Edit: I should say. Stuka Pilot gets a little Germlish (German + English) in places but reads really well. https://books.google.com/books?id=xZiDCAAAQBAJ&pg=PA83&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=3#v=onepage&q&f=false

@EURO V12 I'm in the North West. I pretty much live over the road from the National Cathedral which you can see no matter where you are in DC. The only area you don't visit as a white man now is the South East. Anacostia and surroundings. The navy Yard area was once bad but is now full of brand new apartments and of course the Nationals Stadium. Most areas are transforming and the bad areas are being pushed out. There are four separate police forces between work and home. Which is 7 mins away. If the Mrs wasn't so home sick for her family I would be happy to stay here. But I also have a 5 year limit on my visa (new rules to stop a number of countries abusing the system (Most African and Arabic countries)). E.g. The Embassy Gardner for a small African nation was recently caught driving for Uber and had been for years. Turns out he is the brother of the ambassador and the embassy doesn't have a garden... It is rife with these abuses here. If anyone is ever in DC drop me a message. Will get you out to a Saturday morning cars and covfefe that will blow your mind. BTW DC is worth visiting as much as NYC is when coming to the East Coast. The Smithsonian's alone are worth it. Who doesn't like Space Shuttles and Blackbirds..

Oh yeah Trademe is a joke now. Flooded with junk from overseas sellers. Like Ebay you soon will not be able to trust anything on it.

Traffic was bad but never really bothered me all that much. I moved from Auckland to Washington DC. One of Americas most expensive cities. I find it cheap here... My living costs are a fraction of what they use to be. Auckland is crazy expensive.

Seen them on an E60 at a cars and coffee event. I will be honest. They looked tacky. The guy had all sorts of other crazy light mods going on too though. Many replacement headlights are not legal in NZ. But older styles that have a left and right hand drive difference.
