Well that is unsurprising. Wonder who the lucky new buyer is!

Haven't seen one of these for sale in a hot minute. Le Mans blue, NZ new and with original plates. My kind of car! Do I just throw away my financial future and buy this? The temptation is real 🤣 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m5/listing/3496899169?bof=FgQV8h64 With such low ks and in the quintessential E39 M5 colour, I wouldn't be surprised if this sells in a matter of hours/days.

Yeah I definitely think it’s a gorgeous example, I’m just surprised no one jumped at it for ~$38K seeing how tidy it is. Love the spare set of wheels it comes with too!

Just noticed its been re-listed at a dealer with a near 30K premium (when you factor in how much the dealer probably scored it for)! Bet the old seller isn't impressed with the price hike in such a short time! https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/535i/listing/3490135906?bof=23xD4yaJ

Hi guys, bit of a long shot but does anyone know the whereabouts of a blue 2.2 Z3 Manual with the plate AEY825? NZ New 2001 BMW Z3 2.2 Manual in Topas Blau. Was my Grandfather's car which he purchased in ~2002 when it was roughly 12-18 months old. Was an ex-rental car apparently. Very distinctive spec with the blue interior and wood grain (is quite marmite but period correct I guess). Pretty sure it was sold to someone in Dunedin in roughly 2009. Would like to buy it back one day if the opportunity ever arose. On the hunt for a manual Z3 but thought it would be cool to try get this one.

Here it is again when it probably sold for around $25K. Must have been a 1 owner car when Turners sold it! Madness to think Turners would sell such a special car.

Screenshot taken in July 2020. Less than 2 years ago... inflation or delusion really is high at the moment 😂

Insurance agrees, $2.5K annually because I'm under 25 🤣 Awesome car though, it moves like nothing else I've ever driven. So much torque.

Selling my 2006 Audi S8 so thought I should list it here before formally putting it on trademe next week just in case anyone is interested. 2006 Audi S8 NZ New Full Audi Dealer History Since New! Only 119,000km Dealer fitted Pirelli Pzeros all round with very good tread. Built in GPS Passport Radar Detector One of New Zealand’s most meticulously maintained D3 generation S8s in full transporter spec. Car is absolutely stunning and is in great condition for its age. This S8 represents superb value for money! A proper Lamborghini limousine. Has had a DURASEAL paint protection treatment in the past which has kept the paint in really nice condition. New front pads and rotors installed within the last 1000km at a cost of $1.5K. Further Features: - Bose Audio - Sunroof - Rear sunblind - Reversing Camera - Carbon Fibre Interior - Detachable Tow Bar - Heated and Memory Seats - 4-Way Climate Control - Leather Seats. - Air Suspension - Quattro AWD - Double Glazed Windows - Cruise Control - Two sets of floor mats (regular ones and all season rubber ones) Has vacuum operated valves in the exhaust which open up at about 2500rpm, letting the 5.2L Lamborghini derived V10 sing and making it sound like a Lamborghini Gallardo! Incredibly quick car and extremely comfortable. Has a dent on the front left wing as well as a few scrapes on the rear bumper. Couple little scratches here and there as well as curb rash on all the wheels but overall still in good condition. NZ New S8s are quite hard to find, especially with low ks and full dealer history. Far superior to Japan or Singapore import ones with little to know prior overseas service history. Car does have an interesting past that I will disclose to prospective buyers, so if you are interested, please get in touch. (A bit too complicated to explain in the listing). Personalised plate not included. $21.5K ONO

Price drop to $6K ONO (if anyone is interested) because I have found a manual Z3 I want.

Could always buy it and use it to cart around the building materials used to build another garage for it to park in! 😂

Some pearl in the blue must have looked fabulous especially with the coupe lines of a 180. Yeah definitely not many left now, my car had one NZ owner up until 2018 which is why I think it is still in such good shape. Someone has even gone to the effort to nicely fill any stone chips which really goes to show that someone cared about the car. Even the way the turbo timer is nicely integrated into the coin tray (rather than being hacked onto the dash) and the fact the exhaust is not stupidly loud just shows a caring enthusiast must have had the car. Problem is I'm starting to be fussy about who I sell it to because I want it to continue to be preserved lol.

Still has Bilstein shocks so at least there's some German blood running through its Japanese veins. Would love to have a Blitzen sedan one day in red, look really cool with the "m" shaped rear wing.

Thanks! Definitely is one of the nicer ones left. Hoping a bimmersporter buys it because then I'll know it will stay in good shape.

Hi guys, Thought I would make a post on here about a car I am selling as I think some Bimmersport members may find it interesting. I like to think of it as a budget Audi RS2, with one less cylinder and one more turbo. 2003 Subaru Legacy E-Tune S Edition S Edition is very rare and was made to conclude the 3rd generation of Subaru Legacy. I can't find exact figures (as most info is in Japanese as this car was JDM only) but I read somewhere it could be as low as around 600 Wagons produced. The presence of the S401 Legacy in Sedan only format means the S Edition Wagons are probably the closest you will get to an STI flavoured 3rd Generation Legacy Wagon. S Edition got: - Factory Mica Blue paint (Same colour as you will find on an STI) - Factory 4 Pot front brakes and 2 Pot rear brakes (Like a WRX) - Nicer interior with half leather seats, black headliner, aluminium pedals etc. (Interior is surprisingly nice looking for an early 2000s Japanese car) My car also has: - Blitz Turbo Timer - Nicely Integrated Boost gauge - STI Genome Muffler (Produces the classic boxer rumble but is still civil) - Alarm - 2 Keys - JVC Bluetooth headunit - Tow Bar - New Tyres - Fresh WOF (first car I've ever owned to pass first try lol) Engine is a 2.0L Twin Turbo (EJ206). Because of the twin turbos it sounds a little bit different to your regular single turbo Impreza (Sounds better in my opinion). Being a 2003 this car is the highly sought after Rev D iteration of the Legacy. This means it has: - Better turbos - Tuneable ECU - Pink STI injectors - Revised power band - Cosmetic improvements (nicer looking grille, headlights, wheels etc). Rev D Legacies are regarded as a lot better than earlier Legacies and was the last iteration of the Twin Turbo Legacies. Car is an automatic unfortunately, however it is in really nice condition compared with other ones for sale. I had looked 10 months for a manual one but they have all been thrashed. The plan was to manual convert it but I have too many projects on at the moment and I really don't need another car to sit around. When I got it a WOF the assessor made special mention to me about how tidy the car was. It's quite clear this car has been loved though-out its life, very well cared for and garaged. I recently had a lower ks engine installed in it by the experts at Subirex. Engine has approximately 188,000km. Body has high ks with 324,000 but genuinely the condition is pretty incredible when you compare it to other ones for sale. Paint has no clear coat peel and still has a great shine . Being such a unique and special colour the car gets a lot of looks when out on the road. Of course there are many rock chips on the front bumper as well as some small dents and scratches throughout the car (as expected with a car of this age). The plastic spoiler and roof bars have suffered from paint fade. Interior is pretty nice aside from the wear on the driver's bolster. AC blows cold. Boot is huge. As these cars are becoming more sought after due to the huge price rises of WRXs and STIs, a really nice manual fresh import Rev D TT Legacy could set you back $15K. Seeing as my one is an Edition S but its currently Automatic and the body does have higher ks (even though it is in good condition) I am pricing it at: $6K ONO Get yourself a very unique, bright blue, fast wagon with AWD and a tow bar!

Spotted a blue E39 M5 on Oteha Valley Road on the North Shore today. Awesome looking car!

Spotted this lovely e38 in Rosedale today.

http://arrowtoys.co.nz/view/302/bmw-m5-e34 Cool car. I remember seeing this for sale in ~2017. What's interesting is when I ran the VIN in a decoder it came back as Diamant-Schwarz so I wonder if it was resprayed Mauritius Blau.

Saw an Imola Red E39 M5 with the plate AWSUM5 in Paihia yesterday morning at about 9:15AM. My jaw dropped when I saw it, beautiful car! No doubt the owner is on Bimmersport.

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/porsche/911/listing/3375836402?bof=CgQlSkt4 There's an almost identical one for sale for $238K, also in Guards Red... but with a few less rust holes.

@balancerider That thing is NZ New and still on original plates!! What a spot! According to carjam its only had two owners!

Was it this one? Took a few photos of it at Caffeine and Gasoline in July. Had a distinctive un-painted carbon bootlid and the BBS wheels

NZ New e38 740i on M-pars spotted today

Possibly the most OCD triggering thing ever… WHY IS THE BADGE NOT IN THE MIDDLE GRRRRRR

Spotted some very nice blue BMWs today…
