And if blue ^ isn't your thing, maybe you would like a black NZ new 6 speed manual:

You read my post before I reworded it, not that it makes a difference.

That's interesting if true. Did you confirm via Carjam?

Maybe they said it hoping I'd either buy the 1 auto they had in stock or bugger off. Wouldn't surprise me, didn't feel too welcome there.

Feel free to season your hat:

I didn't say there are none in the country, in fact I even said I've seen some on Trademe.... BMW NZ didn't bring any in, but some Jap and UK imports are manual...

The one next door to work is NZ new and 1 owner. I'll grab a pic of it tomorrow.

BMW Dealers and BMW NZ will give you different figures.

There are no NZ new manual 335is. That's what the staff at Auckland City BMW told me. Only Jap and UK imports, nothing wrong with them but just something to know.

I have seen a couple on Trademe in the past. You'll have to be patient if you're set on one.

Do give the auto or DCT models a chance though. Even the auto is a very high end unit, 100ms shift times and torque converter is only used for pulling off from a standstill, so it will beat any manual unless The Flash himself is driving it.

What a load of dribble. Do you think that some 10 year old sales boy would know $hit from clay?

In fact a guy that works next door to me owns a E92 335.

Also 3 weeks ago I spotted a E91 335 manual and I live in little old Napier. Gotta be more out there.

Jap import?

car in question has sold for an amazingly good price imo.

I saw this car on Monday. The original owner can't have sold it because he was driving it.

Didn't get a good look at it, just caught my eye as it went thru the lights. Is this Nik?

Correct. Do I know you?

Is this the Hartage model iin RHD ?

Are you referred to the auto 318 with the Hartage badge on the front that's local in Napier?

My Fathers E30 M3 is the real deal.

No E30 M3's were ever built RHD, unless you want to argue about the 2 in Hong Kong or the car built by Frank Gardiner?

That would have left the factory with some cool Motorsport alloys.

Red E30 M3 in Napier CBD today around 3pm. E30 M3!!!!

Thats my Fathers car. Might be coming to the market soon.

And heres another 991 coded car: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1040266559.htm

Is it common that they are manuals? Or is that Im only interest in manuals?

I just came across another 991 coded BMW.

his time its a E91 335 Touring. It was parked opposite work. They cool thing about it was its manual.

I looked it up on carjam and it said it was an import. It was built 2006-05-22 but not registered until early 2008 and had only done 84km.

Sold for 11,000,000 yen

How cool is this?

looks well looked after considering km and year. Interior looks like its been swapped at some point... seat don't match door cards.

I noticed that as well. Should be houndstooth.

Also, the wheels have been replaced with 16's, and it has a Evo 2 front lip with and SE splitter?

Looking at the gearknob it looks like the dogleg might be MIA?

Tidy looking car though.

Red E39 M5 with black aftermarket rims on the Napier Taupo Rd this afternoon.

For those that aren't in the know, there were only 600 Sport Evo's built.

These are selling for the equivalent of 200K NZD+ Worldwide.

Yes RHD, the Alpha N, and the non factory BBS RS's might hold back the price, but I wouldn't say by more than half of its value.

Early this week I posted on this forum of a Repair grade 1987 E30 M3 done 254,000kms selling for the equivalent of 44K NZD in Japan. On the road here in NZ that would cost you north of 55KNZD.

Thats a beauty of an M3...umm...probably only a foolish person will pay a ridiculous price for a car that can be bought world wide for $80k less haha

Foolish people would think you can purchase a Sport Evo for less than 80K world wide . . .

Recent import? What? 20 years ago? Or does the seller think that with new plates people will think it's a fresh import?

And let's not mention the fact the car is a rebuilt write-off.

Oh, and that the mileage is in miles not kms . . .

Why can't people just be honest?

WIthout the CSL wheels... WTF? Why would you put the non-CSL M3 wheels on it.

I think the genuine CSL wheels are still available, but not cheap.

CSET should buy it to put his wheels on it and make it all complete!!

Most of the CSL's in Japan run the 19 inch M3 wheels. I don't know if this is part of the Japanese spec?

Another CSL up for auction this week in Japan:

Spotted this Z1 in Napier today. It has only done 47,000kms:
