"VERY RARE FULL BLOWN 2001 AC SCHNITZER S7 BMW S7"
TermiPeteNZ posted a topic in TradeMe discussions
Interesting piece of local BMW history ... "This was once the BMW NZ director’s company car and .... was sold new for nearly $200k to BMW New Ze3aland Management and we have original invoice of purchase price and original manuals with service history." $20K with 167Kms on it... very well spec'ed. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1156064998.htm -
Sounds frustrating :|

Hopped in the X5 this morning and when helping my youngest lad get in noticed that the left rear mat was wet. Lifted it out and noticed the floor was sodden. Checked the other side and same thing! The X5 had been parked outside during the massive amounts of rain we've had... looks like this issue: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e53-forum/61235-wet-floor-not-drainage-block-fixed.html Taking it back in again to get it sorted. Oh well...

BMW M5 1999 Silverstone Blue - First sold in NZ apparently
TermiPeteNZ replied to TermiPeteNZ's topic in TradeMe discussions
Hey Treone - what has your experience been with the E60 M5? -
$30K ono with 205kms and looks to be in very tidy condition - and I must say I do like the 2-tone interior But not sure if anything but Avus blue would do. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1165130233.htm Still toying with the idea of picking up one of these in the near future - tho E60 M5s are the same price or less but really not sure which makes more sense ... Also pondering E55 (blasphemy!) as an alternative ... hmmm.

Just sad

Fun fun fun! But seriously - two M3s?!
-
It's a beaut and +1 on the ACS wheels Nice pictures BTW - and GLWS!

Big call!

Nice! Enjoy

Regulator #2 done. But - had to replace both rocker cover gaskets after getting another oil leak on the garage floor. And - spotted when that was being done - both power steering hoses are now being replaced (arriving from Germany next this week). All I can say is that I'm glad (a) I have a MBI to reduce my total spend and (b) I get paid well. My original thinking of owning my BMWs for 2-3 years and replacing/updating more regularly has taken a back seat. Need to keep both the 545i and X5 longer to justify the money I've put into both. I find it difficult to understand why all of this stuff has happened within 6 months (X5) and 12 months (545i) of me taking ownership.

Did you see the comment on the auction? "Perhaps when this sells for the extortionate price you can pay the people who you have contacted in to do design work, yet never paid"
-
Looks crazy!!!
-
That's a big call Dave - you've put a lot of effort into it!

Coil @$147 plus 8 plugs $45 ea + labour... 'Til next time
-
Very nice - GLWS Kyu!

Liking the new experience - I think it has a fresh, clean feel to it. Keep up the good work!!!

Fingers crossed year 1 = 'deferred/inevitable maintenance catchup period!'

Getting it back this evening - with 1 new coil and 8 new plugs (to hopefully avoid any more coils going).
-
Very nice indeed - but committed to enjoying my 'maintenance moneypits' for a while yet GLWS!

Wife was driving the 545i to work this morning when the check engine light came on and the car started running rough. 'engine fault - drive moderately' was the message. Dropped it in to Driscolls where my X5 is already (for window regulator replacement #2) - they said it will be a coil. Even my 'have a spare BMW' plan isn't enough!! oh well...
-
Crap :\
-
And now airbag light reset and sorted ... but today the left front window is now stuck down ... looks like it will be regulator #2!
-
Interior looks to be in great condition!

Welcome from the Wellington crew - very nice vehicle indeed!
