As most of us would have seen, a E28 M5 has been for sale on TM for more than likely over a year now: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-290355688.htm It got me thinking, why does it seem that New Zealand shows no love for the E28 M5? They seem to have a cult following in Europe and the US but no love here. Also if the ad in the above link is correct, NZ only has 2 E28 M5's of the 187 RHD E28 M5's built. So, how come the E28 M5 isnt as highly regarded in NZ as say the E34 and the E39 M5's?

All E9 CSL's I know of in NZ are registered as CSL's.

Correct.

Yip.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-290787673.htm I believe the LHD E30 M3 SE could be up for sale as well shortly.

Ive just found a orange 1973 CSL in NZ. Sadly 4 or the 5 CSL's I know about have there licences on exemption.

Yip, thats the one, its registered as being black though.

Does anyone know how many E9 CSL's are in New Zealand? I know of 4, (black, blue,white & red) and my Father drove an orange one in the 80's (is this car still around?). What made me ask is because I bumped into a client of mine today who was out at the supermarket in her Fathers CSL.

The corners of the bumpers looked marked and the front number plate is bent.

I think it looks quite good blacked out with aftermarket black rims: http://www.turners.co.nz/Vehicles/Pages/Ca...px?RefId=756299

Evo 1 or 2?

I know of two NZ new Evos, but I didnt know if they were Evo 1's or Evo 2's. One is a blue, registered in 1988, the other red, registered in 1989. I would have thought by there years they would be Evo 2's? I also know of one black '87 M3 and one white '88 M3 that are both NZ new.

How many E30 M3's were sold NZ new? And how many of each model did they import? Standard early M3 (195BHP(cat)/200BHP): ? Evolution I: ? Evolution II: ? Europa Meister 88: ? Johnny Cecotto: ? Roberto Ravaglia: ? Standard late M3 (215BHP): ? Sport Evolution: None Remember this post is about New Zealand new E30 M3's.

Yip, thats the one.

Thats the car from Havelock North, with a plate change. Its soon to be sporting M3 SE rims.

Thanks, will give them a call on Monday.

Can you please give me the name of your upholsterer in Wellington.

Yip, its NLA.

Does anyone know where BMW houndstooth fabric can be purchased from? Or maybe a houndstooth fabric that looks very close to factory. Its for Dads 1987 E30 M3. Thanks.

What a knob! From the TM add: "This was registered new in NZ as an Alpina. It has the original handbook in the glovebox." From carjam: Date of first registration in New Zealand: 1997, February 18th Date of last registration: 1997, February 18th Was registered overseas?: Yes Previous country of registration: United Kingdom http://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=ux9170

You might be right Doug but I dont know why the Police wouldnt put the reg on hold.

I for one agree that I would rather have a 2001 model BMW than anything from the current offerings.

Was it never registered when it first came into NZ?

So weve got it the V8 Supercars sorted then BTW, I tried looking up Superstars on Youtube, all it came up with was the game . . . Anyone have any sucess?
