  1. I’ve got two sets of “super lows” but thinking I probably need to come up a bit to make the car more useable, hence looking for “lows” instead. What’s out there?
  2. Can understand why they put that on TradeMe listings the place is full of timewasters. As long as they have other ways of contact and use it. Can’t avoid using TradeMe if you want to sell a car due to their monopoly.
  3. @Twistee see a couple of posts up. Feels like a big car when you are in it due to interior space, doesn’t feel like it in terms of the driving agility.
  4. I’m in the “each to their own / it would be boring if we all had the same taste” school of thought, but that car is a bit out there. A pretty limited market for a hybrid that’s been modified that much I would suggest. The Ali G reference is absolutely spot on.
  5. What a strange car to put that much stereo gear into. Not exactly the best body style for “quality sound” to be created I would have thought?
  6. Hours of fun on there! The classic archive is also a great place to waste hours dreaming.
  7. The M340i wagon is a superb bit of kit but there are better examples around for much less asking. And what’s with the plastic wrapping on the steering wheel..??
  8. They had it up for ages, the had a “stocktake sale” where it was listed at half the original price and was sold before I even had chance to call them about it. Looks like a very well done car.
  9. Those lighter interiors are a nightmare to keep clean, even with being real careful the ivory white leather looks like this after only a couple of weeks.
  10. Most likely linked, will stay in comfort if there is a warning up in the system. I take it your car got the “tyre pressure monitor” system, so try another reset. Mine often requires a couple of stabs at it, especially on cold mornings.
  11. Such a hard question to answer without more details of the actual vehicle as condition would have more influence than the age and miles. On the one hand you are getting a LOT of car for your money, both physically and figuratively, on the other there is lots of car to go wrong which can be very expensive. Mechanically there are a few special parts that can be hard to find, but from what I have seen it is the electronics that can be more of an issue, from sensors to ECUs that are specific and hence hard to find and $$$s to buy. With very few of these cars around and very few buyers and hence sales there is virtually no market to judge.
  12. I’m not sure how interchangeable the gearboxes are on these, but it could be a good buy for the manual swap bits of the price stays low enough. As for the bumper damage story - yeah right!
  13. Click on the link and it tells you. $24.5k inc buyers premium. Well under estimate.
  14. The Alpina sold, the 650i didn’t (no surprise) and the M325i sold after the auction.
  15. There used to be a TradeMe vendor with that, or a very similar name, that used to list a few “odd ball” BMWs for well above market value, and get very snarky in the Q&A when people called him out on it. Got a bit out of hand at one point with a listing for an MCoupe I think it was and then they dissappeared for a bit from TM.
  16. Oh dear. And I see it’s our old “friend” 1quad1 back again. Thought they had got chucked off TradeMe..?
  17. Ze Germans were pretty organised when it came to the holes and they are in the same place for most of the E30 spoilers. As SJ says the SE Lip and bigger Tech I lip both fit in the same holes. The SE is fairly common and can be got quite cheap, the Tech I is rare and expensive.
  18. Surprised it hasn’t got a tow-bar on it so it can haul a boat / caravan / trailer. It is truly eye-opening how many models are offered across all the markets in the world, and options. We only see a very small percentage of them here in NZ.
  19. Shiny bits starting to come back from the painters! Re-assembly time, with kid gloves so nothing gets scratched or marked. Excited!!
  20. Spotted this beauty at one of the dealers, in for a service, was absolutely spotless! And it’s a genuine Turbo, brought over from the UK I understand. So, so cool!
  21. @Financial_Ruins needs a price for Bimmersporters please as per forum rules. I know there is a price on the TradeMe listing, but should also have the “Bimmersport” price in the thread.
  22. Hello Bimmersporters, There has been a rash of personal messages sent to users who have posted in the Want To Buy section. They are all of the same type, from a new user suggesting to contact an email address for the part requested. Looks very much like scammer behaviour, so user has been blocked, and putting this up as a warning in case we get any more. Be vigilant, stay safe. Cheers.
  23. That brown interior is certainly very “challenging” and having a mis-matched drivers seat (colour and pattern) doesn’t improve the look at all.
