This is a really nice car - hope it can go to another Bimmersporter (also just spotted mineral gray F31-ception in the background of your pic)

🚩 for a 60k listing (to save the $50 listing fee apparently)

The comments don't reflect well on buyer. Price doesn't seem wildly OTT to me.

Alpina spot

Can't be too many transversely mounted V8's out there! (maybe a few american FWD oddities) I always heard the big Volvos had the turning circle of the titanic as a result.

Fair. You could have a 2021 with 32k km for the price he’s asking (also white though) Hell I’m sure you could get the Tanzanite m340d for that price.

@m325i https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m340i/listing/5280721962?bof=GvPIFh6v lower k and a set of new 19’s all round

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/340i/listing/5297345757 On a related note I'm f**king sick of AI generated ad text. It's a nice colour but 114k km in 3 years is not low k, it's probably worth half of what they have it up for.

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

Swasticar drivers in a nutshell 🤡

The flush rails probably make less sense if you are going to run racks permanently, but they are a cleaner look with racks off (see below) pretty sure the xenon’s need self leveling (and maybe headlight washers) if you are going to run them properly which turns into an expensive exercise, pre-facelift lights aren’t too bad now but the retrofit would be a big job, whereas I think the post facelift halogens are plug and play and look a lot better as have angel eyes. the colour is nice actually, haven’t seen any others.
