    So I was at Taupo, and some bloke strolls up and wants to buy my towcar.

    It was 2005 Maxima ti Leather, nice car, economical and reliable, but bland as. Has to double as daily driver.

    So I am thinking, e60 530d touring, motorsport preferably. Would like to keep to say $20k. I dont really want an X3 or X5.

    Anything out there?

    Cheers...Stephen

    Ok, I went and had a look at this car today.

    It is very clean, straight and tidy, everything seems to work as it should. But there are just a couple of odd things. "the left inner front guard has been replaced". Really? that is why the paint code sticker says it is Diamantschwarz, whereas the car is Lachsilber (or more likely dolphin grey). Gear knob need replaced, no big deal. Aftermarket drivers seat. The other front and rear seats are in Ok condition, stitching coming apart in one or two places. But, the door trims are different to the seat trim, and the rear side interior panels are different again. There are a few little nicks and scratches, nothing too serious. It is Japan spec, so standard gearbox, not dog-leg. I am tempted, but...

    So with the Aussie exchange rate so much in their favour, joining fee around $500 and ten bucks a year after!

    And they can fly in to Queenstown for less than the cost to fly from Auckland; leave their wife/girlfriend/partner(or all three) in Queenstown to go shopping, while they hit the track for some fast laps.

    Not a bad deal really.

    Circuit opens at Easter, but no racing, just people doing laps.

    This is the last chip i have left, i imported several and have sold all but one with great results.

    This chip will fit bmw m20 172, 173 ecu's.

    Manufactured and developed by Hermes these chips offer safe power increases by adjusting fuel and ignition curves as well as lifting the limiter 500rpm

    I ran one myself and noticed an improvement in power and mid range torque.

    Well worth doing for your track car/daily driver.

    $100 plus postage

    Regards

    Oli

    I will take it off you then.

    Hey Guys,

    Well I was cleaning out the garage today and I found a very good condition Autotenica steering wheel + Jet horn with BMW logo.

    Cleaned up really nice and it's listed on Trade Me with $1 reserve.

    Trying to upload a photo. Will do it soon.

    Meanwhile, check out the listing:

    Edit: I've tried to attach a photo but can't. If someone can copy/paste the Trade Me photo into this thread that would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Laurence

    Cheers...Stephen

    It all depends, Pre face lift usually have separate carpet / underlay, facelift have it all in one piece. (A real pain when it gets wet).

    But I had a late facelift SA built sedan that still had separate carpet / underlay.

    Sedan / Coupe are different only on the edges by the doors, this area is covered anyway so effectively they are interchangeable.

    Got word of it through a friend of a friend. Brought it up to Aux from Wellington. A few little things to sort out (as there always is) but should be good for the summer!

    Has been People's Choice and Car of Show at several Wellington BMW Club Show and Shine events - I am very jealous

    Hi guys -new member.

    Looking for E30 Manual 318/320 -upto $5000.

    Have looked at quite a few off Trade Me but when inspected not as described. "Mint" is very loosely interpreted.

    Car needs to have service history -cambelt ,water pump etc .

    Straight no damage;good paint; good trim (seat tears and minor dash crack considered ); no dents.

    Standard as possible without the boot full of subwoofers .

    If there is anything out there close to this, just let me know. Am in Auckland but happy to travel for the right car.

    `Have an 1989(?) facelift 320 coupe, auto not manual, tidy not mint, standard not modified, had full service (oil, filter, cambelt, tensioner, waterpump, coolant) mint dash, some upholstery rips (driver seat) silver/grey, about 160km, would like $3k but $2500 will drive it away (and allows you some $$$ for manual swap etc) I am in Welly

    send me your email and I will send pics

    Cheers,...Stephen 021 744 881
