Yea looks like it. I can see the plates match from the instagram photos.

Private seller has 2 up for sale. Sounds like they will keep whatever one doesn't sell (someone on this forum own these?). Newer listing for the other (14k): https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/x5/listing/5269758057 It's a shame these things are money pits.

Nice ride. Love E30s. Welcome.

Just came across an interesting E30 ECU reverse engieneering project on reddit. Sounds like they will open source it at some point. https://www.reddit.com/r/E30/comments/1jp7sgs/stock_ecu_tuning/

It's back. Now on Sunday Drive. Love this car. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/540i/listing/5249534993

Interested in the tail lights. Now's not the right time for me though. I'll hit you up at some point and see if you still have them for sale.

Yea for me it's going to be either the blaupunkt or get the bluetooth module added to the originals like what this guy does: https://bmw-radios.com/ There are meant to be some tutorials out there for adding bluetooth to the OG radios. I might go down that path as the blaupunkt and the bluetooth service offered by the BMW radios guy aren't cheap. Cheapest option would be to get a bluetooth tape (get bluetooth and keep the OE player).

That was done to my in-laws car when they visited last year. They actually got away with the car though. We found it ditched. Luckily it was still in good condition. Needed a new ignition barrel and that rear quarter fixed. The kids these days can't drive manual so maybe that's why they left yours alone.

Loved watching this. Took me back. Late 90s/early 00s was where I was hooked. Wish I could get some of my old cars back but they're all too expensive to get a hold of now.

Seller: "thank you, looks even better in person. sometimes i go into the garage just to look at the wheels lol" Those wheels are nasty. When the light catches them they look bright yellow. Nice car though (minus the wheels). Love the look of 19" LMs on E39. Don't mind gold on green. But not those. LM gold would look good on it.

Yea I've heard it can be rough ownership. I've always liked the 4.6is and wanted to own one some day for towing and some light off road duties. But not sure the headache is worth it.

A couple E53 X5 4.6is listed at the moment. Both in Estoril Blue. This one was listed yesterday by a private seller. Asking 12k. NZ new. Silver interior trim. Looks like it has good service history. It was offered to bimmersport members for 8.5k in 2022. 197km at that time and now has 214km on the clock. So it hasn't been sitting idle in a garage. The other is listed by a dealer at 10k. NZ new. Wood trim. 210km. Thoughts on these prices?

Yea Sulco. I can't remember how much they were (but can check the invoice if you wanna know). What did you do for the caster mod? I found a youtube clip where the guy just zip tied + 3M'd some to the bottom of the frame...

He doesn't look too stoked 😅

Looking at the original thread. It looks like the AI latched on to 2 comments and then made some generalised statements like "...with many customers complaining about...". Were other forums/reviews saying the same thing? Or is the AI actually using a couple comments (and one in particular) from this forum thread to decide that "many customers" have complained? Your screenshot only shows part of the screen. Were other sources referenced?
