Still 10k more than the car in the OP.... Oh, and its an poxy auto, and doesnt have an LSD or suspension mods of the OP... wait, why is this even a comparison?

Yeah but you dont get a hell of a lot of 135/335 for 15k compared to the car in the OP.

I still stand by what i said in the past, thats a crazy amount of car and engine for the money. 15k for a V10? Crazy.

Ill get one, one of these days. Not a fan of the black but it ticks all the other boxes. Bloody good price considering the upgrades done.

They'd sell that easier if they removed all stickers and just left it a nice wagon

Might i suggest if you are seriously interested, just contact Tom directly. There doesnt need to be a thread for that.

Hope it goes to another caring owner. It was a great car, and a real shame i couldnt buy it back. Already have three cars ? GL Mark. Despite the KM its a solid, reliable example. Made really good power on a dyno run when I had it. Has a MASSIVE folder of previous receipts.

body part Tetris?

Bit of a thread dig, but what ever happened to this car? Im guessing it wasnt "free" and never happened?

its a bit late now, but i presume it was flagged at the border for rust? All the rust work would need to be properly signed off etc, so compliance costs would add up quickly. I hope whoever purchased it has done their research. Knowing NZ it'll probably be badly fixed, plated and tagged, and on sold for heaps in a couple of months. Also +1 to the seller sounding like an a**hole regarding their silent auction crap, which in the end meant nothing, because someone obviously viewed the car and waved a wad of cash (that i bet was more than 5k) in their face.

Good god this thread went so far off topic. maybe a mod can clean it up for Tom?

Last one i got was from the local dealer, and wasnt badly priced. Was a few years ago now though

TBH the KM is the only thing going for it over any other auto import silver 540i, and auto import silver 540i dont go for much these days. As Kyu said, the wheels although nice, wont help it make much more money. Might almost be worth picking up a cheap set of standard motorsport wheels and selling the BBS separately? The other issue is that anyone who knows BMWs will know the timing chains are a ticking time bomb since they havent been done.

No flappy paddles either Motorsport or bust.

Cmon man, its not an Audi

No, but my comment stands.

I hope your kid is OK and all that, but this is why we have ambulances. Just because you have a "situation" doesnt give you permission or the right to exceed the speed limit.

Good lord the Kona is f**k ugly. Fat in the wrong bits, black plastic in the wrong bits, lights everywhere, and that weird squinty look that even Jeep knew was wrong and went away from. Other than that though, the latest offerings from the Koreans are meant to be good cars to drive, with decent quality interiors.

Thats nothing on the one a Mini i looked at had. Dont even know if take aways would fit.

Ignoring the price, golly its a good looking car. Mmm.

Its your car, do what suits you, not what others want. Or do what every man and his dog does these days and put M stripes on them.

Something you might do @Michael. ?

if you dont like them, why even go to the effort of bringing it up? Either buy the car and fix them yourself (which is cheap), or just go away. In regards to the price, go buy another CSL, right now. You cant? Well thats why the price is what it is. Also cant remember the last time i saw a black CSL available? Oh and alcantara goes smooth and shiney if you so much as look at it. I wouldnt say its "overworn" but maybe hasnt been properly cleaned in a while. It can be easily restored. Its not like the bolster is torn through or torn.

Love the whinger in the Q&A complaining about the black grilles. GTFO buddy.
