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.

Gosh i love a Titansilber E39 Msport. A great looking car for sure.

Now THIS is the car to get if you wanted an E36 M3 and can live with SMG (or want to convert it). An Evo, in techno, low KM, NZDM, carbon, and individual "Blue Violet" leather. Not a fan of the eyebrow things or the exhaust tips, but easily fixed. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1618648582.htm?rsqid=9eea54c35483401fa0dc765eadc08ca5 ======================================== Vehicle information ======================================== VIN: WBSBG92080EA89949 Type code: BG92 Model: Мotorsport (EUR) E-F-R series: E36 2 Series: 3 Type: COUPE Steering: RL Doors: 2 Engine: S50 Displacement: 3.20 Power: 236 (321 hp) Drive: HECK Transmission: MECH Paint code: 299 - TECHNO-VIOLETT METALLI Upholstery code: Z1XX - SONDERPOLSTERUNG Prod.date: 1997-11-24 S209 Differential lock 25% S243 Airbag for front passenger S246 Manually adjust. steering column S302 Alarm system S314 Door mirror, driver lock, heated S325 Rear spoiler S362 Vent window, electric, rear S401 Lift-up-and-slide-back sunroof, electric S410 Window lifts, electric, front S428 Warning triangle and first aid kit S431 Interior rear-view mirror with auto dip S440 non-smoker package S458 Electr. front seat adjustment S465 Through-loading system S498 Headrests mechanically adjustable, rear S510 Headlight vertical aim control S520 Fog lights S534 Automatic air conditioning S542 Check Control S548 Kilometre speedo S554 On-board computer V with remote control S672 CD changer for 6 CDs S676 HiFi speaker system S687 Radio preparation S710 M sports steering wheel, multifunction S793 SEQUENTIELLES M-GETRIEBE S818 Battery master switch S850 Additional Export tank filling S853 Language version, English S864 Dealer List Overseas S880 Operating instructions, English S925 Dispatch protection pack ======================================== Individual equipment ======================================== ---- Processing Individual Sign quot; BMW individual quot; Z1XX Upholstery Individual Collection: Leather in current BMW standard colors.

Bump. Not keen to install more extensions to fix something that can be sorted in the admin panel.

You guys get your panties in a twist over the most mundane things

That yellow one, i seem to recall it was on facebook forsale locally recently? Looks like it would be worth saving if it were cheap enough. That LSB one though, thats the one to buy and fix. A great color and rare at that.

Personal preference, id take a 4 door manual over 2 door auto. If it were a dct or 135i it would be a different story, but NA + slushbox auto just doesnt scream fun.

Lovely colour, shame the photos ruin it. Interesting to note it has leather but not heated.

wrong trans and those stripes are yuck
