Man it’s such a nice daily and fast car 🤣 Way better than the E92 but this is a rare occasion when you can get a F80 at this price imo. The other F80 for sale is 189ks asking for 41.9k, seems to be asking too much compared to this.

Lmk when you want to sell them, I might be interested to get them if I manage to find a suitable M3 soon

Nice purchase John! I was actually looking at this car too but I personally prefer the coupe more. What are you going to do with the comp wheels that came with it? No the E46 M3 will never go. Just wanting something more modern and a nicer daily that’s why I started looking into the E92 M3s. Have driven a few and I’m happy to say that they’re quite nice but nothing close to the E46 M3s imo. Will be paying attention to the market and hopefully I can get a nice one soon.

Hi team, I’m currently thinking of adding another addition in my garage. Without doubt it’ll be the E92 M3. I was looking at the fire orange one on Trademe but unfortunately it got sold before I can even get my hands on it. I’ve driven a pfl manual one and facelift dct one prior and at this stage I am siding with the facelift dct one. Is it true that the faceflift cars drives way better than the pfl ones? As based on my personal experience I like how the facelift car drives better. However, I wouldn’t mind if it’s dct or manual providing that it is a nice example. Feel free to provide your thoughts or tips on getting a E92 M3 team! PFA

From the stickers it had on the car, it seems like the car for sale here is the exact same car that was on display for the BMW 50th anniversary event in Auckland last year if it helps.

God I want one of these so bad 😍

Oh God, that's a lot of nice stuff going on with your car 😍 Keep it going and we'll love to see more updates of your progress here.

Keen for a meetup will some e46 m3 owners in chch before you sell it? or even better just keep it, it's gonna be a very regretful one once you sell it. Send me a message Peter

I test drove that particular car with my mate, the overall condition on the car was just okay. My mate wanted to buy it but the dealer didn't worked out a good deal with him. My mate offered him somewhere near the asking price with new Michelin Super Sport 4S on it but the dealer insisted the Michelin primacy tyres on it are good enough for the car lol. I see that you're located in chch, keen for a M cars only meet up in the future? ?

I have a mate that's looking for a facelift/ competition package E92 M3 too, but he only wants a DCT. HMU if anyone is selling ? We're in Christchurch and will be willing to travel anywhere for the right car. Cheers 021 027 59575

Went in today to explain the whole thing and had a good 'talk' with the service manager, he then told me he would need to check the log book with the mechanic on whether they have checked the fuse when they replaced the O2 sensors which I believed they didn't if not the car wouldn't be acting like that all the time lol. Got the I'll give you a call back quote from him again (as usual). If the discussion goes well, they will only refund me the labour (680 ish) for the O2 sensors but not the others even though I told him the thermostat, fuel pump, fuel filter and others might not be necessary to be replaced at the time of the issue. Oh well, guess I'll just treat those as preventative maintenance. He also offered me manager discount for parts I buy from them in the future which I doubt will be cheaper then FCP Euro but we will see. Let's hope everything goes well so I can get a refund to compensate all the time, money and effort I've wasted on them arghhh. On the bright side, my car is now fixed and thanks a lot guys. Just a pic of my car taken at Mount Cook few weeks ago on limp mode ?

Hopefully there will be the manual ones available in NZ as opposed to there's no M2 competition manual available here in NZ unless we go for the import route....

"There's no cars that we cannot fix here" and "our technicians here are very experienced and has done cars like yours since they were brand new' - Chch BMW service manager "Let's try replacing this and see if it will fix the issue but we're not sure" Chch BMW service department foreman In the end it was just a fuse ??‍♂️??‍♂️ I'm going in tomorrow and gonna have a 'coffee' with them ?

Thank you for all the response! Special thanks to @Arron for reaching out and helped solving the issue with my car, so stocked that it's finally acting how it really should be. My faith with the dealership is dead, very disappointed on them with all the time and money I've wasted it's just ?. You're a legend @Arron, once again thank you so much. ?

Chch bmw might've dropped the exhaust before while they did my exhaust hanger bushings but i'm not too sure about that. I hope they're not that dumb to plug it the wrong way, i would need to check with them.
