I have not purchased the car yet but I'm 100% sure that they are aftermarket as they are very dark.

Ok I see, one of the cars I'm looking at buying appears to have very dark tints but this could be exacerbated by the fact the car is white.

So if they werent stripped through compliance there are no legal issues with them?

and 45hp is worth half a second.

I used velcro in mine.

If a car is imported from Japan where the rules on tinting are (apparently) less stringent, and the tints on the vehicle are considered an illegal tint in New Zealand; is it legal to have them on as that is how it was imported?

I believe I have heard this is the case but I cannot remember and would like to confirm.

Thank you.

I never really got the nod or wave because I don't like him haha. Over aggressive driver (we all can be) but seriously, whenever I see him it's usually brief 'cos his foots to the floor.

Saw a sweet E36 328 Coupe with BBS LM's on Remuera Road today, so awesome almost makes me want one again....

Does anyone know who the person is that drives the 90's shape white SL Merc? I see them driving on Victoria Ave all the time and they always pass a wave or nod everytime I see them

Sam, you might know... it has some silly money themed number plate, hardtop with tints

Is this the guy in the SL320 I think? Number plate "BENDS". He's a younger guy, teens I'm guessing.

Always see him around St. Heliers, Mission Bay etc. Sometimes in Remuera and a few times on the Western.

@ Apex

Did you have them repaired and coloured or just coloured? Also what colour?

@ Blackie

How much did it cost you and what colour did you have them done?

Unbelievable haha.

PJay you dropped your phone ^^

Oh it's a phone. I thought it was a wing mirror haha I was like why on earth would he put that there..

Oh yes, I know there are no engine differences but the suspension and handling is different.

Could've been the examples I drove but the steering felt far more positive in the M-Sport.

Drove a 330i M-Sport today, side by side with a non M-Sport one. The difference is incredible, if it comes to buying a 330i it will definitely be an M.

Beautiful cars.

I havn't done it but I've heard good things about www.wheelfixit.co.nz

Even if the wheel doesn't need repair they can change colour, they come to you and the job is usually completed on the same day as they come in their indoor painting unit - so any weather. They also have shadow chrome!

Be sure to post pics haha

I'm flagging this as porn.

Lidistick, it's great with the prices coming down

I've considered a touring because I do need a lot of space but after filling the enourmous sedan boot with all of my daily things as a trial I've decided on the sedan

Note: if this should be in the "Trade" section, sorry.

Hi,

Ducking down to the car fair on Sunday morning in Ellerslie to try to sell my 318Ti .. I've had a look around TradeMe and the price for similar models through private sale seems to be the 10-13K mark but I'd like to hear your views and opinions on a price.

The car:

2002 BMW 318Ti

65,500 KMS

Dark Blue

Japanese Import

First NZ Owner

Alloy Wheels

If you want/need to know anything else or are interested in the car please don't hesitate to post.

Haha, all good Apex.

Popped into Repco today and bought a Mothers Clay kit.

On special for $44.00

Came with:

- 2x clay bars

- Detailing Spray?

- Microfibre cloth

Saving it for my new car haha - ducking down to the car fair on Sunday to sell the 318.

Haha no nothing wrong with the Ti, I've just had it for awhile and decided to move on with it - needing a bigger car and desiring more power

Yup, the MKitted E39s look amazing. Driven a couple - just waiting for the right one to come around...

Pretty much looking for 2001-2002, <90,000kms, black, aluminium trim, good condition inside and out.

Mate, I'd be so keen on the 540i but based on my age and record I can't be insured for a price which I'm willing to pay haha

Welcome, owner of a e39 530i 2002 my self as well.

Always loved that e39 touring in your picture you have.

Haha yeah it's a gorgeous car. Nice to see another e39 530i owner.

Thanks guys

Hey guys, yeah more keen on the 530i for reliability because it'll be my only car and I'll need it as a daily driver and can't afford to have break-downs/servicing all the time haha

Hello!

I'm Tristan, residing in Auckland. Looking to buy a 530i Motorsport, currently driving a 318Ti

So yeah, been browsing through Bimmersport for awhile and decided I may as well make an account here. So yeah, done and dusted haha.

Absolutely loving all the E30s on here. Got me hooked on them, really want one but don't have the money to spend

But always the future to look to!

There wasn’t enough interest to justify it. I will post here next year when I make my yearly order.

Is that yearly order coming around any time soon?
