All NZ new E46 M3's are registered as 4wd.

From what I can gather, there are currently 17 NZ new 3.2 Coupes, and a couple of imports. Older cars, say pre 2000's are harder to define due to the original data entry.

My Brother had the plate 4OOBHP (not 400BHP) on his Avus Blue E39 M5.

Im pretty sure that's the case. A friend of mine imported it for the owner. I think it might have done 1 Targa Tour.

Really? What country? NZ? Were they all LHD?

Wow, the above car is NZ new, but sat around for 4 years before it was registered.

If you did a search you might find it here?
This is a different car to the last one.

Second time its been dereg'd. I guess it may have had a frontal the first time since it had orange indicators.

Is it worth it to import one? Feel free to provide your opinion, cheers
lbo99, have you had a look at any of the E46 M3's that have popped up for sale?
This one seems nice: https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1833187514

Treat every car on it's merits, check for known issues, every car / owner / history is different. Take the car for how it actually is, not how all the sooth sayers on the Internets suggest it will be.
As for NZ New being a bonus hmm, not so sure on that one.
Importing a car from the UK could be an issue with rust compliance, but once its here and been through compliance it should be fine. Only small things like MPH speedos can be a pain.

Na, another coupe as well.

There a couple more alpine white E46 M3's, I think one of them got written off.

^ Note, all NZ new E46 M3's are registered as "M3 Coupe Manual" even if they are SMG.

Its a white UK import F10 M5, the lady driver (not her car) rolled down the drive way - knocking her over and ending up in the trees below the driveway. It wasn't on Napier Hill, it was out in Taradale.

I agree, stick with something in NZ, there are 100's of them here. 30K should get you a nice example.

4 hours ago, KwS said:I'd still take the 1M for it rarity. Its not "mass produced" and despite the bitching, imo its a special car that was built specifically to be fun. I still think its an M car, because its been tweaked to be better than any standard model, has a bunch of "one off" parts exclusive to it, and has a limited production run.
6,342 1M's isn't exactly rare.

Hmm and now that I think about it i'm not sure if I am remembering manual M2's and not M3's.
There is a number of M2 manuals in NZ I believe. As for F8 M3 manuals, Ive seen a few for sale in OZ and the UK.
ex Aussie Stat Write Offs - consensus?

If its a new car in OZ with hail damage on 3 panels or more its a write-off.
