Thank you, thats sort of what i was thinking PS yeah dont like the red myself.

@HELLBM what does a manual conversion cost? Not something sitting on a pallet just laying around?

Defiantly the same one. Still looking good.

Yes, manual conversion. Thats what i was thinking. If it wasn't already getting one project car on the road right now.. Need to find a way

Yup if its got the Diff like i remember its a great buy. Love to find the old post

The red seats gave it away. Was this a HELLBM or BM WORLD build from a few years back? If i recall it had the interior, wheels and rear diff from a crashed M5? Does anyone have the link to the post? i cant find it. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/5060637462?utm_source=tmm-savedsearch&utm_medium=email&bof=5WAWfhmT Ray

I rekon its a really nice price. Manual swap not withstanding. So tidy. I love a survivor. But not so precious i wouldn't manual swap it. But nothing else but some good tyres. Or a set of wheels so the originals stay nice. Actually some race seats would help keep the originals unmarked...

Thats a reasonable price. Just need to budget the manual swap https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/5050516584?utm_source=tmm-savedsearch&utm_medium=email&bof=JIMGihfq

Relisted at $6K https://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1568628829&tm=email&et=45&mt=10DC7D53-3501-4E4C-8181-B8E3CEEEC134 I would say thats a nice car for $4-5. But what do i know? I know i really like the way it looks

I was wondering if he knew something i didnt know lol Red one is begging for a nice motor swap

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1332021795.htm Its so pretty.. especially when you compare to recent ads http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1336338211

Bugger, what a mess, i would have been interested as well. I remember a similar colored E30 wagon with the v12 a few years back

Very True. I am skilled in the car sales bit. However most of my recent knowledge is all fords. Its been some time since my E30 days. I have to study up on what to look for in E39's

I do sales, i can BS but i hate it. I do however like selling stuff i know about. Kyu's one does look pretty nice. I'm in auckland friday but wont have time to view. Ideally want a M5 but that involves selling the cobra. And im not buying a E39 M5 unless it has low KM's. They are few and far between but i would like to retain some sort of value over the long term. Spoke with the owner of the above via email and he has owned for 10 years and has been maintained by an BMW enthusiast. Hope he dosent get offended if i suggest 5k

I saw that car and i love it. However Auckland is a bit far. Very good looking though.
