  1. Hi guys, Im interested in this e39 that has popped up for sale at ChCh European: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m5/listing/4564930233?bof=uZwwqzBJ Does anyone know of this car or it's history? I know that it was for sale in Hamilton a few weeks back - a couple of screenshots below from that listing. Looks like the dealer has tidied it up a bit since then (most noticeably the steering wheel) I haven't viewed it yet - I think I may struggle with comfort seats and chrome brightwork, but I guess that could be swapped out without too much drama... Cheers Paul
  2. Maybe check coolant temperature is getting hot enough to allow better efficiency, and that it is also allowing the DPF to do the required occasional burn-off? (needs to get to over 88 degrees I think). I have an earlier e60 Diesel and it has had 2 x faulty thermostats over 80,00km and that resulted in worsening fuel economy until fixed. You will need to access the hidden dash menu to get readout of coolant temp or a scanner with real-time data readings.
  3. A couple of screenshots from when it was last listed for sale in August 2022. Sad to loose one of the better examples from our roads.
  4. Here’s a few more from the Skope Classic…
  5. +1 on the Golf R. Even in DSG format they are epic. Mk7.5 is peak Golf R in my opinion.
  6. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/audi/auction-3781185134.htm
  7. I think that there has also been a distinct "drought" of e39 M5s coming onto the market for the last year or so (but a reasonable number of e46 M3s), and when those 3 M5s popped up recently, there was pent-up demand to see them snapped up quickly.
  8. Also a ciggie packet in the passenger foot well, so you never have to reach too far to find them! Not a bad price, considering that it's NZ new, and a Manual (albeit converted). But, yeah, looks like it needs a bit of a tidy up...
  9. An unremarkable e46 Sedan in CHCH with annoying (to me) rego plate placement.
  10. In Reefton a few weeks ago - proof that Estoril Blue does not maketh the car…
  11. A tidy NZ New 328i ‘vert. Plate was “DEBS1”
  12. Parked at the end of a quiet street in CHCH. A pinnacle of 1980s German efficiency and luxury. Apparently the “ee” designation was a NZ thing…
  13. A couple of 325i e30s competing at the Hawkswood Sealed Sprint today in North Canterbury. The black one was quite possibly the best sounding car of the day. On the way back to CHCH, also saw a Silver-Grey E46 M3 on what looked like CSL’s heading north on SH1. Rego FZC 299
