  1. What Andrew said, it is a fabulous car. I missed buying it 2 years ago by one day and couldn't give a hoot about the history. The repairs were BMW certified. Here's a deal, you buy my silver 2002 car and i'll head down south and buy the blue one -:)

    Noooo Bruce, I didn't realise you sold it. You are being very modest in your description of the car, it was an absolute gem when you had finished the restoration.

    Lets not go through another massive debate about tyres, save that for the wheels and tyres section please.

    Yep it's gone Jon and you are being very kind. Shuey did more kms in it last year than i did. The M5 is a brilliant car and just right for my stage of life. It is carting four of us to Leadfoot this weekend, something i wouldn't consider in the M3.

  3. This was my car, i restored it and i put the tyres on it and they are not $50.00 tyres. Ron, not all good tyres are the expensive items you appear to like, there are some excellent tyres out there for very reasonable money. The car was never going to be driven hard or for that matter on a race track. The new owner wanted something reasonable for sedate driving because the car was going to be a garage queen. Alas he sold it to this crowd who are just trying to make a large profit for nothing. If i had kept the car it would now be wearing Bridgestones. It's an ok car but it's not 105k, maybe $70 to $75k and i believe the current bid is BS.

    There is one that has been built into a race car, doesn't have the 2.7ltr M20 in it anymore though.

    Really nice car, was up for sale on TradeMe for ages not long ago, no idea if it ever sold...

    Reg SI7288. Used to be owned by Peter Robinson who sold it to the good doctor Malcom Abernethy in Wellington who repowered it with an M34B30, Believe current owner is Dean Edkins who also has the original engine for it as well.

    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.

    Cheers Dan. Will have to read some more on the ZHP. I know they did the cam and maybe the exhaust - ECU???
