Very nice!

Welcome! Prob need to get the ABS unit repaired - by 'the guy in Nelson ) which is a few hundred bucks. Just doing this for my E53 X5... could just be a wheel sensor.

Holy crap - they're game Both awesome vehicles but the M3 sedan is my pick.

Looks like a bunch of the government 730LDs are up for tender @Turners! Wonder what they'll go for. But who really wants to look like a driver for Winston Peters or JK? http://www.turners.co.nz/Cars/Search/BMW/7-Series/14994850%C2'>

Sounds frustrating Ray - glad you got the wty.

Congrats Russell - nice quick sale! Sure you have mixed feelings 'bout this....

Looks nice! Not sure about value... but it looks like a better deal than then cheapest M3 on TradeMe: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1063334149.htm $500 less and needs a bunch of work.

Their before and after pics do look impressive

+1 on this I think it is like $150 and Joe can do it in about 15min. No hardware changes etc - just recoding and all sorted. Getting nav sorted does involve extra hardware (gyros etc) but it does work a treat. I had Eurosurgeon do my radio and nav for $748 (they come to Welly regularly) late last year, but after having the CCC die on me and getting it replaced by Autosure i have not wanted to chance a repeat (CCCs cost heaps). So I've left the nav in Japanese and only had the radio recoded Bit of a waste of $$ from the nav but I don't want to risk another CCC failure and have an argument with Autosure who honestly have been fantastic to deal with. I don't think Eurosurgeon's mods caused the CCC failure - it looks like whatever numpty (PO/car yard) put a band expander(why!?) in the car did some substandard wiring and also unplugged the cooling fan - over time (and the summer) it cooked. Bluetooth etc costs buckets so personally I think radio is good. Eurosurgeon can sort an Aux jack easy enough ...

Awesome!

Yes I reckon an E38 740i M-Sport would be mighty tempting!

Nice - would have been better thematically if it wasn't a M41 and was a Panzer of some description... would have been 2 German tanks

GLWS Ant! This wagon is a beaut and I would have bought it if I hadn't picked up my X5....

Looks very nice. Not many sedans around in white and I quite like it. Price seems reasonable.

So 'tis M-Sport Dunno what 175kw is like in an e38....

Welcome dude!

Looks to have body kit and wheels - can't see if badge is on steering wheel - the pictures are very crap. Breakers E38 740i M-Sport doesn't have the rear M badge and doesn't have Motorsport sill badging either. So I think it probably is a M-Sport...

Lotsa fun I suppose See you at one of the Welly meetups in the near future and GLWS! - Pete

Ah thought it might be something like that I'm seeing if my wife is OK driving my E60 rather than he Mazda 6 liftback . . . not confident! GLWS - it's a beaut but more than i like to spend on cars

Dude - isn't this what you just bought after just ditching the AMG E500? Is that police car in the background watching to see if you were casing the car?

Depends if *you* have a M-Sport mode!

Yep true - not cheap after the required fixing is done

~$6K so pretty cheap and very nice in silver but has an oil leak and some upholstery work required. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1063954394.htm But I have enough cars... :\

Very nice - Remus probably sounds great - the standard E60 exhausts are a bit too refined. One reason I love the X5 - it *sounds* great

Cheers - looking at their gallery the results are *amazing*!!! Will put this on my 'to-do later' list
