    apart from that feeling of the rear end not being connected to the front end, at least with the wagons. Certainly a good power unit.  Though it was outclassed by the time they re-used it in the 380.

    Only drove one wagon - felt like a boat; and it was brand new... it's taking all of my powers to not hit BN on the $5k white Ralliart thats currently on TM lol!

    Paid $4.2K for '03 325Ti - identical to the 10.5K listed one with 97000km on the clock NZ new and full dealer service history.

    Wasn't looking for one but it was too good to pass up at that price. All I've spent on it is $150 for a coil pack.

     

    Brent, how many kms on that 3L engine?

    Dayuuum... may need to adjust the price on mine a bit.


  3. NZ New six-pack compact; coming up to 193km.

    Here's a link to the specs: https://www.mdecoder.com/decode/ae21063 factory sports suspensions and seats (tho not M sport).

    I've not had it long, but circumstances have changed (our other car is now a Swift), so I need something more practical. It drives well and is reasonable nick for the km's - sporadic service history but it looks like someone's looked after it. With a little love (and perhaps a third pedal), it could be a wee cracker.

  4. Maybe because I'm rapidly approaching 50; those Alpina B5's (B7's, and even B3's) look the business inside and out - refined, subtle, classy, powerful, and relatively understated.

    Do I think they're worth as much (or more) than the relative M car? Not on your Nelly... completely different market and to me, nowhere near the same value.Having said that - very few buyers would be cross-shopping an Alpina and an M3/5 so it's a moot point, like most others.

    This was on trademe for quite a while if I recall? I was watching it for a bit and contemplating an offer 

    Yeah, they had it for months - and it owed them (far) too much which was reflected in their asking price. The presentation left a bit to be desired which worked in my favour too... the main thing was it drove well and has been looked after so ticked the boxes for me.

    I just wish it had a third pedal. If you do decide you want one, let me know (as I'm contemplating something more useful for a 2nd car that gets little use).
