GLWS - sad day indeed!

Pics for posterity … looks gorgeous but yes WTH is with the seats ?

Hey Hugo - welcome back to the Bimmer scene! Your 650i is stunning There's a good active branch of the BMW Car Club in Auckland (as you'd hope!)

Welcome Angus - looks tidy from the outside - and glad you're enjoying it!

Tempting dude But I already have a V10! ? The big 8 sure is a classy vehicle, and not as thirsty as the M5. Having seen a F01 750i in the flesh the other day - beautiful vehicle.

Great to meet you both tonight @P3RMAFROST

Nope - just family holiday

Thanks Alan - I'll give you a call!

Welcome Steve - sounds like you're thoroughly enjoying the 320D! Just been back and forth over the Kaimais a few times last week in my V8 X5!

Welcome Jordan and congrats on the E34 - hope to see you along at some of our Welly events!

Just ordered one yesterday - I'll be brewing my own filthy carpet blend soon

Welcome Chris - silver E60 with Style 123s is a handsome vehicle If you have only one key recommend you pick up another and make your existing one a spare. Cost a few $$ but not as bad as some others ... They certainly make it a PITA to replace the battery!! ?

Managed to sell it now John? Happy new owner I expect

I did look at this as I don't have a 6 - just waiting for the right Motorsport E39 or E46 with leather to show up in Welly

Heh - my brother Tony does all the ads for Mitsi - including the neat Huntaway one. Despite (or because of) the value-focuse ads, Mitsubishi NZ outperforms relative to other markets.

Hi Andy, congrats on the new car and welcome to BimmerSport! Latest version of the E60 info doc attached So You Just Bought an E60 (V4.6).pdf

From the WTH? department ... full marks for accessorizing ?, but the effort seems a tad misguided. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1676761985 '08 LCI E60 523i that someone has gone to a lot of effort to make it look like an M5 ... "This is a fantastic unit, Leather interior, alarm, Two way hard wired camera, Hard wired radar detector, Great condition, XL wide and long body. one of a kind. Never to be repeated mags. Quad exhaust. cruise control, Electric seats, electric steering wheel adjustment....totally loaded.... "

@Worksie in regards to your repair costs, did you get a MBI with your E60? That can make a huge difference to your ownership costs ... (but you can still spend plenty, just a lot less ) https://www.mtf.co.nz/mtf-products.html#mechanicalBreakdownInsurance Jono is the man to talk to: Jono White 027 224 4295 jono.white@mtf.co.nz Sorry to hear about the incident with the dog very bad luck for all involved.

I've been tracking M5s on TradeMe (sad I know) but F10s only from Jan this year . . . 8 NZ new 5 UK import 1 ex-Aussie write-off (Black with white leather) 3 indeterminate (no reg/VIN) Least I've seen one go for was a NZ new 2012 with 97KMs with a $1 res auction - went for $45K....! Normal 'low' price is ~$60-$70k

Hmmm yes interested as E28 m535i is top of my classic list - but i wasn't planning on commencing a project! Does it have all 4 of the BBS or is one missing.....? is there mould in the interior? Might give you a shout.

Nice vehicle Paul and welcome! I'm not into de-badging either … implies you haven't something to be embarrassed about

That's a beaut John! Very tempting. ?

Hmmm another interesting buy for Pramod :) Part out or repair???

Hey Nathan - is that an E53 or E70? And I'm guessing it's the 4.8
