Welcome to the 2020 BMW 440i xDrive Coupe M-Performance. Good luck.

We've not found anything we can't get from sources in Germany and SA. Just need to join the relevant Baur groups. They seem to arrange remanufacture faster than most.

This one is a Baur. Less expensive ownership proposition to a BMW vert as it uses coupe parts, and not the vert-only parts. The vert was only just becoming available in 1985.

I'm planning a pre-ABS R1100Gs if I can find one at the right price. I'll be sure to let you know if I find something for you.

The investor profile has changed quite dramatically. It's now the mom & pop investors, with their equity in a property they've owned for 20 years, who are buying up property, instead of the perhaps more familiar fat cats. I know of several people in Auckland who are also finding that they cannot buy because they cannot readily find sensible lending. They're paying $2.5k+ a month in rent, but can't get a mortgage which would cost them a lot less.

A problem with building seems to be finding a decent builder who can start inside the next 6 months! Of course, the vast majority of people really did expect C-19 to be a done deal by now, when the reality is that it could be with us for years. That's going to require a shift in mindset and approach.
