n52b25 engine relatively thirsty around town and a bit slow especially in the e91 wagon variant.

cant go wrong with style 66 (get 4 fronts 17x8 et20 not the staggered) for a cheap option

but most nz new f series ive seen is the same spec as this UK one, small display, small cluster screen, and halogen lights sometimes.. also nz tends to have a lot of non msport kit versions. what is "nz market spec" exactly?

didnt notice the halogen lights but aside from that, the other neg is the small idrive display and the small screen on the cluster. the plus is msport kit, seats, wheels, colour, and the 3 spoke thin steering wheel. that silver one is a great spec such as sunroof and towbar but otherwise to me it looks boring and undesirable (personal opinion) Also, cant really compare 320d vs 330d. the 330d is a good 4-5k cheaper than market and its the lowest mileage amongst it.

at least your E39 doesnt have these reflector pad things on the bumper like the E46's

that is disappointing.. the orange indicator lenses were so obvious I assumed that couldnt be it.. Also, a lot of people actually prefer to go amber indicators in certain cases. If they were PFL and amber I would have pointed it out but they were the FL xenon headlights which is miles better than the older versions.. o well

brake duct (or lack of) on the front bumper grille?

euro bootlid? (supports longer plates)

take my 30k for heated seats!

https://www.trademe.co.nz/2148888802 Looks like a nice car with some alpina bits, new model year, msport interior, seats, trim, sunroof! It is also short wheelbase and has the baby V8 which is reasonable. Can easily be swapped out later for the 4.4 I would think. Take off the ugly 20s, put it on some nice mpars or bbs 18s with beefy tyres and you've got an amazing cruiser. would be ideal if price was around 3-4k i would think.

5 years now! not bored of it yet? haha

maaaaaate! that looks and sounds amazing!!! what kind of exhaust set up is that?

I need to replace the coil in the AC compressor clutch. My google search has led me to this being the cheapest option. https://tinyurl.com/y4d9s54a sub $35 nzd landed. Does anyone have a better alternative/suggestion?

this one sold for $5650 https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=2034764026&archive=1 gorgasm's one on here for 7k is an absolute steal for the condition and kms jayden also selling one for 6k https://www.trademe.co.nz/2024864059 kms is a big factor in the price of course. I paid 15k for mine a few years ago and sold it for 12k and that was a 2010 lci with sunroof. prices have really come down a lot which is a shame these things are awesome, my only issue would be the highish fuel consumption for around town.

thanks Ray! now I can sleep easy at night

I would be all over it if it wasnt for the interior.. and the price is a bit high for me when E87's are going for 5k

ahh makes sense then i guess. so to summarize: He paid for most of it, then forked out a good $3-400 on ppi and tints, damaged the bumper another $500 or so and decided to walk because of a leaky shock? hilarious. best story of 2019 so far. I think you are allowed to keep the deposit but im guessing you returned it minus the total cost of the above? good guy..

meanwhile im just having a chuckle at the mismatched drivers door handle hahaha

why did he have your car in the first place to get it tinted and damaged the front bumper? surely that didnt happen on a 5 min drive around the block..??

^ likewise.. super confused..

after all that hes not buying it? lolwut?

you could ask, but never get is this julians 850ci? his was red, then painted black.

Yaris GRMN

honestly... they could have made an amazing new supra (like the concept image above). The above looks like a beefier older brother to the GT86 (not a bad thing!) But then they copied the enzo front end for the concept release and managed to ruin it with the final product.
