    That may be the case for yourself, and a few others on Bimmersport. However, in terms of the BMW buying public then it’s a very different story, order bank is out into next year and growing. Most of the orders I have seen are trading a fairly new BMW so they are BMW owners as well.

    The “BMW owner” group in NZ is vast and wide, Bimmersport, Simply BMW NZ, E30 club, BMWCC all cater for various sub-sets but there are still lots out there that are outside of these communities.

    Should have added here on bimmersport...if it means they can make M3 Touring / M4CSL then I am happy. I love the i3 so far from an anti-electric luddite.

    Love optional extra ciggies on the floor, and the light weight "missing interior trim" option. Also appreciate the BMW "Individual" ruined front bumper, and very classy munted seat bolster too. 

    Poor car. 

    Saw it come up on Facebook a while ago. It's not even a factory manual. 

    Realistically I wonder what its worth? 20-25K? Most thrashed example I've seen in a long time. 

    Also the cross hanging off the rear vision mirror - probably more than a few 'Hail Marys' required to avoid borkage on this one

    The 335d we've bought to replace it doesn't seem to hit the mark with us the same as the 330d so wondering whether we just keep the 330d after all! The 335D pulls like a freight train but we miss sports seats, radar cruise and comfort access 😢

    @thegreatestben Sports seats are the biggest single upgrade on E9x IMO. Shouldn't be too hard to retrofit a pair of front leather ones out of an E90, they're the same as the E91. Radar cruise would be a rare option on an E9x, can't recall ever seeing one with that.

    In Wellington diesel is nearly the same price as petrol now - ~2.60 vs ~2.75 then RUC's on top. I assume this is refining related rather than oil co's applying differential markup

    I guess it's working to control demand - last tank was my best economy since started recording (50L for 748k of mixed driving)

    Agree the exterior of the S is better looking. Interior resembles a strip club. Also the C/E/S are the ultimate in Babushka (see below) and the fact that all c-class (including the C63) are 3 or 4 cylinder doesn't appeal much
