Beautiful example and well looked after by Boston!

We have 3 in the Welly BMW Car Club and the owners love them - and they get lots of attention at shows. Each to their own! They are rare and great in Summer!

Welcome back Cameron - has been a while! M6 looks fantastic - there's only one in the BMW Car Club in Welly. @Olaf's recommendations are all good. I just wish Jon was in Welly not Marton [Jon did my rod bearings] Modifications on an M5 are likely to impact resale, and do make sure the essentials are sorted. Love my E60 M5!

My 4.4i is a great drive but has indeed been a money pit. 😐

X5 is back! transmission running fine Needed two new rear tyres (315s are expensive BTW ) which I supposed it needed a year ago... sorted by Driscolls. Right wing mirror LCD has bled out (mostly) and have ordered a replacement set of aftermarket non-chromatic heated mirrors for $NZ44 - the price on BMW original was crazy. fresh WoF and rego brought up to date with VTNZ Really do enjoy driving it - heavier feel than the X3 and just really comfortable. X3 has had the aircon serviced/gassed - necessary for Summer!

And... Just got my third puncture sorted (LF this time). Great quick service from AutoStop in Johnsonville. UPDATE - actually not a puncture - stuffed valve.

Don't know the details sorry 😕

Lucky I 'saved' a grand on this as I had 2 punctures in my new $1k per corner tyres on the X3 and one was too seriously damaged to be repaired (by a big screw). 🤨

Indeed, it is! Feels weird with fewer vehicles at home... Chasing up Zane re the X5... M5 is in for faulty alternator AND stuffed aircon compressor X3 dropped off today - low pressure detected on new LR 21" RFT - slow leak - meh I've ended up buying a new A/C compressor from Turner Motorsport for the M5 after coughing up for the alternator locally. New compressor locally $1950+GST w/12-month wty 2nd hand with 3-month wty $600+GST Turner new Denso compressor with lifetime replacement $US613 including freight, excluding GST

Just sold the F30 335i to a fellow up North - has been a brilliant vehicle and I hope he enjoys it

Ouchy - 21" tyres for the X3 M40i - not cheap ... put on new WiperTech wipers - seem very good so far. Just chased up Zane re my E53 with the troubled transmission - been out there for some time. 🤔 Have rego on hold... Also (finally) done all the rest of the coils on the M5. Had very few bites on the F30 335i - not a wonderful time to be selling cars in Welly methinks.

Congrats!

Just love the X3 M40i (especially the ridiculous sports exhaust mode) but have only owned it since late Jan. Just replaced all 4 21" tyres - ouchy 😐

Dropped to $18K. Market is... slow 🤷‍♂️

Congrats!!!

Expensive and it was re-registered last year, so will have had major work done. Haven't seen this one pop up before.

Welcome back to Bimmer land Marcus! Once you've picked up your new wheels, look to join the Auckland branch of the BMW Car Club...

Love these 4.8is' and this is as about as nice as they get... but I have an X3 M40i now 🤷‍♂️

Just listed my F30 335i on Trademe... since I've replaced this and my currently kaput X5 with an X3 M40i... asking $20K, $18K for Bimmmersporter...

Stunning! Congrats Harry! Hope you the BMW Car Club and tag in to some events with our Auckland crew. Love my E60 M5.

Gorgeous! GLWS

My E53 is the original 4.4i with the ZF 5HP24... slipping in 3rd & 4th and I'm having it transported back to Zane who did the rebuild end of next week .See what happens I suppose 😕 You can drop a lot(!) on a decent rebuild and it can still fail - but not many 2nd hand transmissions around as far as I can see.

While the X5 is laid up, I have acquired a new beasty that will replace both my F30 335i and the E53 X5... 2017 G01 X3 M40i!
