That dealer sails very close to the wind with selling practice. I looked at an i3 from them and they wanted to charge $1500 ORC. the nz new one above looks a better bet

Delivery miles M3 up for grabs CHEAP!!

Looking at the CIN it may have done more than 28km (that was the number when it got WOF last year) - I was imagining a very awkward chat between the salesperson and the dealer principal otherwise -
z3 m coupes x4 for sale (not be me but on trademe)
balancerider replied to Bruski's topic in TradeMe discussions
The asking price on the crashed RHD converted one is about double what it should be -
If you (are somehow able to) ignore the grille the g8x styling is quite cohesive. The c8 rs6 almost looks like a caricature of an Audi rs wagon on 22 inch wheels, c7 looked so much better IMO. The new one isn’t even any quicker

No doubt if you were buying it to drive in NZ RHD would be preferable but the reality is the vast majority of these are collectors cars now and no one from Europe / the US wants a converted RHD car, decreasing the value accordingly.

Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/318i/listing/4636952657 malachite green project touring anyone? -
Less than an LHD one. No one is dailying these anymore and the pool of buyers for a 50k + weekend car is pretty small. I'd say 55-60k if you had to sell.

992 GT3 in Martinborough. Sounded a bit poo with the DSG farts though, I thought they all used to be manual.

Who is everyone using for servicing in Wellington?
balancerider replied to Herbmiester's topic in General Discussion
Slim pickings since Jon @ Auto 38 moved IMO. Value service pricing at CC BMW isn’t too horrific -
Has that been parked in a pond?

I’m running s001 run flats on my F31 and they have excellent longevity, more than 40000k on them and they’re still on 4mm front / 3.5 rear

Apparently BMW buyers are cross shopping with the Omoda C5 these days. This thing can get in the sea

F80 M3 Base audio system upgrade
balancerider replied to Neal's topic in Audio & In Car Entertainment
I’m super impressed with this - I managed to get my car brought over to NZ connected drive while BMW NZ we’re still doing it officially, I’ve found the app to be pretty buggy though, it still displays fuel remaining in gallons and the usb connection to the car works <50% of the time -
Thanks @E30 325i Rag-Top - good intel. I was going to get the 19’s refurbed anyway as the diamond cut finish is wrecked so I could always run round on the 20’s for a month or two. Those aren’t stock tire sizes for the 20’s I don’t think @BMTHUG
