Close. That buyer got a good deal.
-
White on black? Mine is black on white. Must have changed it.
-
I would have thought around 13-16k for a Japanese import. Market was flooded with them for quite a while. Bloody buy right cars spamming the market.
-
Nice car. I was thinking about getting one of these to replace another car. I see so many $1 auctions pulled these days that it makes me wonder how many people actually bother following them.
-
Martin's was 9k. Then you have 16k to replace everything. There was also another for 8k. Both 535is.

The E60 does cover more of the screen than a conventional set up. But does miss that bit in the top right quite bad. Seems to chew through the blades a little faster though.

320 with 325 motor. Getrag 240 box. Wrecker told me motor only done 80ks. Body done 350,000. 8K or swaps for RFB.

M5 Money. Ok then.
-
Saves money on having to find RHD wiper blades like on Mercs.
-
3 Series Life. Should have got a 5 Series. Doesn't happen on my E60.
-
That might have been the owner before the owner who crashed it though. Re-compliance will be the money burner for that car. Better slip them some beers.

Profit can still be made. Just never advertise it on Bimmersport or as an Auction on TM. Its past will quickly be brought to light. People still have the nostalgia goggles on for these cars though. Some don't care what condition it is in.

I hate anything made by VAG bar Scania's. But especially do not like Porkers.
-
Do this. It will be fun. Or go an break it open and let the weather deal to it.

Bump. Don't forget this is up for auction tomorrow everyone

E60 vs E90, thoughts and opinions welcome
Driftit replied to DR1FTMONKEY's topic in General Discussion
The diesels are not that different. All the basic stuff you can still do yourself. There is a ton of guides as there is a ton of 330D's and 530D's around. Mine is up to 200,000kms now and it hasn't missed a beat. -

Same boat. Hence the similar user name. Sold all my Turbo Japs and started driving Euros. Then started racing Euros. Much better scene overall. You would be surprised by the 530D. They will just keep going and going. Servicing is no more than the petrol bar oil price. They have more tourqe than the petrol and are only a fraction slower 0-100. But having the extra torque makes them fun in the twisty roads. Have a drive of one. They are massively popular in the UK because you loose very little performance and gain much more fuel economy. RUC is a pain to manage. But lucky for me I work in that industry. The 330D and 335D haul ass. -

We went for the E60 over the E90. The interior is far superior. I felt the E90 was a bit poverty pack in comparison. Picked up an E60 530D. Get around 1100kms to a tank on a long trip. Average consumption is between 6.5 and 8.5 L/100kms. Has more torque than the 530i. I went for a Motorsport as I found the standard E60's kit to really let the car down. Our car is actually for sale at the moment though. We are downsizing our fleet. 8 cars in the driveway is not ideal. And surprisingly if I was to buy another modern BMW I would go for another diesel. Unless it was a true M car. -
Well I would say there is about 10 Bimmersporters looking for their next car. Lots more lurkers thinking they will scoop it up to make a buck. And about 5 BMW wreckers who will pay more than all of you. If it was returned to its prior condition. It would fetch $12K plus as I am pretty sure that's what it sold for just a few months back.

Has that typical Rotary owner done up look with a 200K price tag. Yuck.
-
The parts to repair it are generic E30 parts. So I hope someone picks it up to restore too.
-
I would love a G wagon. The G55 AMG Supercharged or later Turbo.
-
I think the kid looked at buying my car. Glad he didn't. I am betting it will go over $5k. And if not you got a steal.
-
Do you want an OE or do you want to spend all your time trying to get cars out of the country. Expect to waste weeks doing this unless you are paying someone else who does it for a living.

It would be better to name the Jap cars that are not dull that are still made. Evo Wrx GTR LFA FT86 (painfully slow) That's all I can think of. And the base models of the Evo and Wrx are dull. All the Jap cars that I loved before finding the light are no longer made.
