Well that's mean that I must reconsider my purchase and to look after diesel again even in New Zealand? What about Ecological issue and the "black smoke"? Are there some restrictions regarding this "smoke issue more than 10 seconds" ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see kiwi535. Just wondering then, if I buy this big petrol engine where in Auckland I can make conversion and to convert the Petrol engine to LPG Engine, successfully and without side issues? In Europe the LPG is largely in use almost everywhere in the industry, in the homes, in the vehicles. Can you recommend me any company who can help me with such a big engine 4,8i please? In Bulgaria I have ideas and I know brands like "BRC", "Lovato", "Landi Renzo" etc.,etc.. Here on New Zealand I am lost. Regarding the benefits of using Diesel engines I can say that they are a much more fuel efficient and have a great economic impact on your family budget and safe money in your pocket as so far the engine and the vehicle is relatively new up to 5 years old. Then you have a problem! Very expensive parts and repairs of the engine mainly, very often changes of oil filters and etc.,etc.. So it depends on you to decide what to have. If you drive long distances and hours is good to have one diesel. If not the petrol it's ok then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am agreed with you. I am changing my mind now accordingly and I am about to buy now an petrol version however I have back in Bulgaria this beauty and I can not bring in New Zealand due to LHD issue. It's pretty expensive to turnout into RHD, that's why I didn't bring it in here unfortunately.

Can you tell me please guys, what is your preference regarding the type of engine: diesel or petrol? I am confused here in New Zealand, honestly. In Europe we all are driving mostly about 60% diesel vehicles,and whoever decide to buy and drive petrol is using LPG, as cheaper alternative. Here in New Zealand, almost I don't see such a cars.

Good evening Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am about to buy this beautiful machine, just very curious did anybody know precisely how much is the fuel thirst of this X5 please? Any specific and precise information please, as I am not a "Formula One" driver and I have a quiet smooth and mature driving style. I would love to receive your reliable opinions and observations please! Thank you so much for your time and your assistance in this matter! Yours, Julian. PS. I just almost forgot: Please as well any opinions regarding this dealer please! Is he reliable enough? Any observations as well? Is the price too high please? Running cost for this SUV? Is this SUV reliable enough? http://www.buyrightcars.co.nz/used-cars-for-sale/2007-bmw-x5-48i-sunroof-32817 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well those are the generic ones as the vehicle still in Japan, but the seller told me the actual condition of the front seat is not what I should expect. As well on the last picture you can have a look very carefully and see what I mean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good Day Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I need your assistance please! Very soon I will buy my new "second hand" and first for New Zealand SUV. The interior is genuine beige leather saloon. The rear seats are in very good condition, but unfortunately the front seats are worn out and especially the driver's seat is in not that much good status. My will and good intention is to renew those both front seats with the same quality genuine leather. Could you please be so kind and let me know where in Auckland I can do this job and to be happy with the price and the quality of the revamp/renewing of the leather? Thank you so much indeed for your time taken to read my message and your further assistance in this matter! Have a great evening and safe,good night! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My opinion is that RFT are reliable and bit more expensive than regular tyres. On bad roads the ride is just a bit bumpy. The safety at this point is highest priority. So my opinion and answer is: Yes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's great and cool then. So we will communicate very clear and understandable. That's make me happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank You Sir. Well noted and clearly understood. I appreciate this information. Well at this point it's better to buy brand new SUV from New Zealand strait as my intentions and good will are to stay and live permanently in this gorgeous country. I would love to have the same or better SUV in Auckland and to bring some dividends to New Zealand Car industry and merchandise Car Dealers. I think this is better solution and decision at this stage. Thank You once again Dear Sir and I hope to see You there on live. Have a nice day and successful week and very pleasant weekend.

Good Day Dear Administrators and Moderators, Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like kindly to say "Hello" to every one respectful person in this great society and respectful Forum and to introduce myself. I am new one in this Forum. I am happy to announce that I just bought my second in a row BMW from "X" series BMW X3 F25 2.0 D 2015 with "M-pack" LED headlamps and fog lights. There is a small issue for me. I am a foreigner from Bulgaria Europe and I will move soon to live and work in New Zealand Auckland. My primer concern is that my BMW it's a European version LHD and this will conflict with the New Zealand's roads and regulations. My question is are there some restrictions for driving in New Zealand for European LHD vehicles and what I must to change/innovate in my SUV to be capable to drive on New Zealand roads. Can I still drive it as it is without remodeling/upgrading please? I will appreciate any related and reliable information. Thank You for the time taken to read my post and Your further understanding and cooperation in this delicate matter. Herewith You can have a look on those pictures of my Carbon Black Metallic BMW. Once again thank You for Your kind attention and understanding as well any advice it's a very welcome! I would like to be excused for any misspelled word/phrase and for my gibberish English! Appreciate Your kindness and attention! Sincerely Yours, Julian Willow.
