Which of the regulars is this one? Come up before? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m5/listing/4559847639?bof=uZwwqzBJ

Just in case you weren't aware of them, we have a couple of these in our car. Not BMW official but do the job. https://globalbaby.co.nz/products/maxicosibackseatprotector?_pos=3&_sid=2e8ea5061&_ss=r We used to use some clear plastic things to protect the back of the front seats too but they looked like sh*t so now we just wipe them clean as part of the cleaning process and are getting by ok like that.

As it happens I might be open to selling mine. Send me a message if you haven't bought yet.

This one is back up for sale with a more realistic pricing perhaps? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m5/listing/4015770143

Very sad. He lived life to the fullest and showed how it could be done.

Does it have to be BMW?

Crazy if it sold that quick for that money. And a bit sad for me, ha! Definitely getting into the a lot of money for an E46 territory. If you don't mind crappy gearboxes then you can get an F430 instead and I know what I'd rather drive.

Can't regret a V8 swap! Nice one.

Just being curious, what are you going to use the engine for?

Yeah I think that pricing is more of an opening gambit by the seller.

Does anyone know anything about this vehicle? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m3/listing/3635449934

W124's should be worth way more. Especially 300Es with the M103, have I got a deal for you!

Does anyone know anything about the 1999 one currently for sale?

The grey CSL is my old car. It has done very few kms at all since I sold it a couple of years ago.

No I'm afraid not, I think they were on the set that went with the car.

I've sent you a message.

That wouldn't be my ideal option but it would be nice to see them go to good use. I'll make some inquiries to see if I can find a friendly tyre shop to get the tyres off.

I sold my CSIi a little while back now and I’m doing a clear out so looking to get rid of the spare set of wheels. They are 205/60 R14s. The tyres will be no good as they are very old. I’m not sure what else they fit I’m afraid, early 5 and 6 series should work. Mainly looking to get them moved so not sure on pricing, $100 for all 4?

Anyone know any more about this vehicle?

Yes, by NZ New RHD drive I am looking for vehicles converted here at the time. I would be open to a vehicle that has been imported later and converted but that would be subject to the quality of the conversion. Due to the rule changes it is significantly less common for vehicles to be converted these days so realistically the most likely way to find a RHD model is to find one of the ones converted at the time. I have other LHD vehicles and due to how much I hope to drive this I would definitely prefer it be RHD. The answer to other options is to go on to other vehicles I have on my "to buy" list, some which vary greatly from this and some of which do not. If I simply can't find what I want I may just give up and buy a LHD one but probably not. When you take something that is a small inconvenience but multiply by it by a lot of times it becomes a big one. If the E30 path doesn't work then I might buy an E46 M3 if I can find the right one. Or buy another CSL and manual convert it this time. I'm kind of looking for an E39 M5 too. I imagine that any other option I go for would be simply for a few years whereas if I can find the right E30 M3 then I intend on keeping it forever.

I don't suppose you know the details of the RHD one, ie if it is NZ new, has a sunroof and AC? I wouldn't want to waste this person's time if it isn't right. Not to sound flippant but I don't need this vehicle, if I can't find exactly what I am looking for then I will move on to a different option.

It didn't have AC or sunroof. Yeah I'll drive it a fair bit. In some ways it could be considered my daily.

Hi all, I am looking for an NZ new E30 M3. It must be converted to RHD, have AC and sunroof. Everything else is preferences but those are the must haves. Let me know if by any chance you know of one!

Awesome, thanks for that. Hopefully I can find what I am looking for then, sounds like I will need to be lucky.
