that is a nail. wonder what the under / over on it getting another warrant in 12 months is

Wonder how much the Mazda 3 is worth…🧐

All it needs is some base model seats to be the ideal dull hairdresser car.

@E30 325i Rag-Top apparently an April Fools project at M but they actually built it!

Kiwiplates have 15% off til end of this month

you might be right about that - vaguely remember @hunter doing this to his 530i?

All the JDM M-sports have it (which is probably 50% of the remaining E39's in NZ) - that along with the lack of cruise control and PDC puts me off.

Alcantara is nasty, too many poverty spec JDM Bimmers with it to want a car like that, let alone swapping it out. Cognac leather with green paint is the dream spec for me, was playing around on the M3 touring configurator last night

Much better on Alpina rims. From memory that particular E39 was being sold as spares or repair.

Gold wheels are definitely polarising, nice interior though. I wonder if the manual conversion has been certed. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/530i/listing/5220384911

Someone needs to snaffle that for the recaros

A couple of forlorn 5’ers

Victorian Highway Patrol G31 LCI 530d Touring and G05 x5 spotted today

Would imagine a decent proportion of E30 buyers now would know that plate’s backstory and run a mile! (Just waiting for the seller to put it back on a standard rego…) also, E36 M rain Vaders in an E30 are…not good.

What else is the seller of this not mentioning (other than the obvious one that the X6 looks like a 🐕 taking a 💩 in profile) https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/5198260276
