Haha would love to but I have my eye on this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-812490931.htm

I know it's a auto but I figure I'll have the bike to keep me entertained so I'll just need a cruiser/grocery go-getter

Good luck with your sale though, when are you headed to the UK?

Hey guys,

I know it's not a BM but I'm selling it to get back in a proper car so I figure it's ok.

I'm selling my 2002 VW Golf 4 Motion VR-6 so I can buy a motorbike and a e28 I've had my eye on for a while. It goes like the clappers and is a great little car. Sounds unbelievably good, like holy bejesus *drool* kind of good.

Check it out and pass it on, help get a brother back into a bimmer.

I had issues with the wiring in the flexi hose thinga between the car and the boot lid. The wires had frayed and were shorting out and making things go haywire. Not sure if it'll fix your problems but could be worth a check.

I used to see this around when I lived in Nelson. Be prepared to steam clean the whole interior if you buy it because she was always smoking like a chimney when I saw her driving.

Perhaps a streaking related head injury?

I keep finding myself looking at e46 330i coupes, I don't know much about them though. Thoughts? Am I safer waiting for my perfect e39? Will I get bored with the smaller car? Is there much of a difference in build quality?

I'm very upset with Julian actually. I wanted that 540i real bad. He did say that it had only moved down the road so it could still be mine I suppose...

Don't judge me! You don't know my life! *sobs*

I'm a fool, I know it.

Hey boys and girls.

After selling my 530i a few months ago I have realised that I'm a fool to have let it go and I need another. I'm sure you guys can relate. As the title says, I'm after a 2001 onwards (facelift) e39 Motor Sport 530i or 540i, in a colour other than silver. Picky much?

Many thanks in advance!

Alright, now I have all your attention (I know you all too well...)

There is a lovely old Benz that I am looking at on TradeMe, the only trouble is that I live in Wellington and the car is situated in Auckland. I have wanted a W114 for a long time now (please don't hurt me, I still love BMWs as well). Would any of you Auckland members be kind enough to head out to Titirangi to take it for a test drive on my behalf? If you PM me your bank account number I'll put in enough gas money for a 'spirited' drive out there and back and enough so you can buy yourself a pack of fancy beers, not the shite your missus usually makes you get.

The seller is being very helpful, this is the trademe listing http://www.trademe.c...px?id=729564913 And this is the walk around video he took for me

My cell phone number is 0278821411, it would be much appreciated if one of you guys could check it out for me as I feel like I can trust your mechanical judgment.

Cheers,

Leo

Hello boys and girls.

I'm putting my 530i up for sale, I've only had it 6 months but i've just moved up to Central Wellington and it's just not getting driven as much as it should.

Let me know if you have any questions

Cheers,

I've got a set of gloss black M-Pars on my imola red e39, it's a brilliant colour combo. I'm happy to send you a photo so you can get an idea.

Well hello there. What do you intend to put these on once you're done and how many sexual favours will it take for you to give it to me?

Oh man, I've just had to give back my loaner Beyerns so I'm needing something new... These would be perfect. There's a set on another forum I frequent in the states for $700 (US)... I wonder what would work out the better deal after shipping etc

This is the plate that's on it now, I've never had a cop look twice at it so I assumed it was fully legal, especially as it's got NZ stamped on it. Is that the same one you're talking about?

It's ABC883 in a Euro style plate which I love. Not sure if it's the original but I'm happy either way!

It's good to hear a bit of its history! I love the colour, I hunted for a good while until I found this one. I bought it off a bloke up in Wellington who had looked after it as well. Paint is still in pretty good nick, rear bumper could use a respray at some point but that's probably only because I'm picky like that. She's not bad on oil now, but I've done pretty frequent oil changes on all my cars so I guess I don't give it a chance to burn any. I'm moving up to Wellington in a months time, I'll let you know when I'm doing a north island roadie and I'll pop in and see you.

Really?? Tell me more! When did you own it? I've had it for 3 months now and I'm loving it.

Hey bud, wouldn't mind seeing a few pictures of the Alpina wheels. leoej@hotmail.co.nz.

Cheers

That was me in the red e39. A total fluke that I saw you guys! I promise Nelson isn't actually that small haha. They're actually Beyern wheels but cheers for the compliment!

Yep I'm here for another month or so for work. Give me a txt on 0220790570 if you do end up coming through my way. Would love to catch up with a few of you peeps.

Are ya coming through Nelson? Or heading down the East coast?

Jesus Christ. Mine is a year younger, with 10,00 less kms, the updated tail lights and a stereo that doesn't look like a Japanese ricer called Wong has attacked it. It's just as tidy, with 200cc extra and I've got it insured for $10,000 and I thought I was being cheeky! f**k me.

I've posted it in a previous thread before but check out the wires in the flexible hose that joins the boot lid with the car. On my old e39 there was loose wires that were shorting out and preventing the car going into sleep mode. 15 minutes with some solder and electrical tape and she was sorted.
