BMTHUG

The insane Christmas rush that happens every year without fail. Everyone wants their car's done yesterday and there's only so much one can accommodate. Also road-works in dome valley at all hours of the night. lol

link please

oooo that is beautiful. I do like

I feel you on this. As an automotive technician, I simply cannot have a light coloured interior in my daily vehicle. Insurance has offered for me to buy my vehicle back for 500 dollars. I may consider it.

I have never driven a 530d in all honesty, drove the 535d and the m5. so will see how it goes! Get him to sell it to you asap

yeah man at 10k I feel it's good buying. I couldn't say no! I'm excited to get it. a bit more practical than a coupe for a daily as well. Just incase the wife needs to use it and it's easier to get the car seat into etc plus a lot more creature comforts than the 1 series

Just tagged the wrong andy Whoops

Unfortunately most of the diesel e8x series come with no xenons. In fact I am yet to find one that has xenons as factory. Its been a struggle but we're there I think. I found an 07 LCI 530d with an impressive list of options. Motorsport etc and adaptive xenons to boot. I am flying to Wellington this Friday to pick it up. @Andy E30is going to check it out for me. I paid the guy a deposit already so hopefully it pans out. Ex UK car but has been in nz since 2010 and had 50k on it when it got here. Now doing 124ks. Hopefully it's as good as the fella says.

Bump still looking

As the title states. I'm after either a e82 123d (hopeful), e90 320d,330d,335d or a e60 530d or 535d for sale. Not fussed on high kms if there's good service history. NZ new preferred. Ideally something that can do 900 plus ks on a tank of diesel. Let me know what's out there or what you have. My daily is potentially going to be written off. Can travel the North or south island for the right deal. Contact 02102916373 SJ

I have no more room for any more cars 8 bmws are a bit much apparently

I know of a whole manual e34 535i for sale, very cheap but is a parts car. In wellington

I was supplied a 260 but for an m20 which I will use elsewhere

After an e28 Manual Gearbox, 260 or 265, just after the box at this stage with holes for crank and reference sensors. I have purchased a manual conversion but the wrong box was supplied. Contact 02102916373

old owner of this vehicle ran into some personal issues. I won't go into detail but he sold it cheap to pay off some debts and never got around to certing it. It has had extensive fabrication on the rear guards etc to fit those wheels and was painted and put into storage. I struggle to see why it wouldn't get a cert as I had a very close look at it whilst it was being painted. It will probably need some minor things. Such a shame. The old owner did spent a sh*t tonne of money on it.

as the title states, after a good condition box. Have cash waiting. Give me a call or text on 02102916373, happy to pay for freight if out of Auckland or pickup if within travelling distance

damn this thing is nice!

sold thanks for looking

Bump

Agree with you man. I love the tech 2 tourings for sure. The tech 1 vert is receiving a full back to bare metal respray and colour change, full interior retrim, new roof, freshly built motor, basically a restoration. Only thing that won't be factory will be the suspension and wheels. EDIT : And exhaust which I opted for a full Scorpion stainless system to go with my BTB stainless headers. Suspension is going to piss off a few purists but I got the airlift performance 3p3h kit only because I want to be able to raise and lower it accordingly dependent on the road I am driving on. I have also refreshed the rear subframe with super pro poly bushes and put in adjustable bolts for the trailing arms with poly bushes, new control arms for the front, new control arm bushes, everything will either be replaced or refurbished. Show room condition is the aim

I got offered 40k for my car last year before it was written off. I declined. I think that Tech 2 is beautiful. He actually brought it round here yesterday and I must say, she's a tidy one. But Tech 1 over everything for me

glad you bought it haha no brainer really

battery? starter motor? voltage regulator? could be all sorts of things but cheap enough for 1500

Here's your selling point

the value of these little cars is only going to increase. the engines themselves are strong, in fact I've seen them do 600k with minor issues, the auto boxes last a while if serviced regularly. also whats not to love? with a little bit of elbow grease this will come up beautifully. It's got such potential. I will attach pics of mine. for 1.5k I'd take it and run. I paid 5k for a 520i thats not running lol
