Red alert ! "Selling my absolutely beautiful BMW M Coupe!" And your 2005 Toyota RunX, your Mitsubishi, your Audi RS4, your Kawasaki...? Possible, that's a lot of vehicles for a 'Private seller' to have listed at once.

Ten days, Auckland to Napier, for a next-day delivery. Eleven days, Chch to Napier, for a next-day delivery. Book sent from the UK (to Napier) - estimated 5-10 days for delivery. In Auckland in 2 days (!); 12 days from Auckland to Napier !

Been told it'll rain every day (here) from now 'til Christmas. And be cloudy and overcast on the 25th.

Thanks Allan. Spoken to Paul many times. 🙂 Didn't think to ask about keys.

Miss M would like an additional key (fob) for her 116i. Hers has had an issue since she bought it, but it is slowly getting worse, and investigation reveals why: Budget doesn't extend to visiting BMW nad asking for a replacement, so what are the options? Her car is one without an ignition key as such - pop the fob in the centre console (or your pocket), press 'Start', and off you go. There's obviously some transponder activity. Can this be replicated without spend $Big ?

Yup - nuts. I know the market has moved on, but I'm not sure we've gone from complete cars that need work for $1500 to a shell for $3k.

Any price change?

Another free listing day on TradeMe means more E30s for sale. 1986 coupe, no engine, no gearbox, dead rego - $3k 1987 318i manual coupe, $24.5k for quick sale (was ~$27k) Plenty of others, some quite reasonably priced and some more optimistic.

600hp V10 E21.

It's also full of Americans! 😮

"E30 2 door/coupe full black door cards... very hard to find." Only found in virtually every 2-door E30 ever made.

Not even a teensy, tiny, little bit. I've lived in a lot of places. Trust me - NZ is an oasis of calm. Yup, got it's problems, but really nothing like those faced by so many other places. Oz looks good - more money, cheaper cost of living (depending on where you go) but bear in mind that if it moves, it'll probably kill you. And if it doesn't move, it'll probably still kill you. Unless you're planing a move to the Azores, Iceland, or one of a couple of other Scandinavian countries, this really is as good as it gets. A great shame that such a loud part of our political media seems hellbent on trying to persuade people otherwise.
