  1. http://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2855922392 needs work and high km (not compared to yours @Jacko) but well in budget
  2. Think this is @SmithyInWelly's old one? http://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2855922392 Doesn't sound like it's had a great deal of love since it left him though. No sports seats in a 330i is a travesty, and it's a bit GFC era in its spec.
  3. The TUV inspection is to a very high standard, any modifications must be certified and it's quite intensive...as you'd hope with no Autobahn speed limit.
  4. Don't want to turn the thread into a political slanging match but I 100% agree that annual emissions testing / more independent entry certification / WOF testing (including suspension check / snow tires banned except in Winter in SI) would only be a good thing. odds of it happening ~0 IMO.
  5. This doesn't fit with the kindness paradigm @Olaf
  6. My F31 needs new wipers. Any local recommendations for good value / quality or shall I order from Schmiedmann / the UK?
  7. wheels look great. i find the m stripes on the grille a bit JDMyo but YMMV ?‍♂️
  8. @Kiwi_BMW it's a Jap import - km =/ engine hours!
  9. Ancient filthy diesels are the thing that winds me up. The 90's trucks are disgusting
  10. Well over M2 / F80 M3 money. would rather have the S55 thanks.
  11. Orient blue is a lovely colour. This looks great!
  12. @Driftit my story is exactly the same - even down to having my car in the workshop all morning to tell me that they didn't have the part and didn't know when it would be in.
  13. I'll take an F3x 330d/335i for that kind of cash...
  14. GLWS - i find this very tempting! pedant in me also likes that it's on its original plates
  15. not sure if this engine is more or less correct than the last one. but the car it's in is in better shape
  16. none of the LCI's have a V8 in them for <10k though agree F11 528i would be a big step up.
  17. very nice, imo needs that Japanese front plate plinth removed though
  18. NZ new V8? (valve stem seals may need doing?) Price looks reasonable though.Well specced - looks like probably a display car given registered Mar 2006, manufacture Aug 2004... WOF history looks very clean with only one fail in 14 years. http://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2830748086
  19. Seems extraordinary that otherwise well specced JDM 130i's don't come with it, although I guess my E91 didn't have it either.
  20. throwing stars + techno violet = 90's classic! ?
  21. would tend to steer clear of that dealer...quality of their stock is often poor, cheap =/ good value
  22. Edition 30 are nicely specced (no sport seats in the F30 though, unlike the F20) and the ZF 8 speed / diesel combination is a winner.
  23. @leichtbau 240k km on my dad's 2010 E91 320d says yes. regular oil changes FTW.
