Agree! But not $45k nice lol

My read of the thread is that a motor and trans with 120kms was installed (along with the M5 goodies) in 2019 - the car had travelled 270kms at the time of the swap. So, lower km engine/trans than what the chassis is. Was really impressed with this build back in 2019 and still am, other than the red interior :-(. e39 540i Tourings don't come up that often either! Non-vanos = probably one less thing to fix haha!

According to Carjam, this was at 196kms in Dec 2020... it must be getting cheaper 🤣

My 2c - This is a case of how much someone is willing to pay for it, with or without knowing its history, not what this is worth. So with this knowledge, offer $10-15k and be done with it haha 🤣

Well not anymore Mr Prince! 🤣😎 “I said first would be my pleasure to know who you are And do I have to use my tokens or do you have a car Well my name is the Prince and I'm a great rap star You don't have to use your tokens I've got a Jaguar”

840 + 6-speed is the bees knees! but the 850csi is the holy grail of the e31!! I was told that there were six NZ new manual 840's (excl the converted one), one is de-reg and at least one is now in Oz. So having two of four remaining is pretty 'rare' in my book - if you find one, I would be keeping them, ah I mean it!! 😎

Just hope there is no rust - that would make compliance fun, not lol And hope this gets saved regardless of investment v roi rational 😎

Curious , Who are the nz agents? Have a set of B8’s for an e31 - was recommended option (not a CSI but has factory m-sport springs apparently) when I bought them. But on other forums, owners say they are a harsh ride and get them revalved to a more comfort setting. Don’t want to put them the ride is horrible - factory ride is quite nice! And yeah, I’m at that stage in life! lol

Hmmm probably good time to get 10w60 supercar oil and use the saving for petrol to pick it up lol

Each to their own but it’s a yeah, nah from me on the choice of using corduroy!

I think these are cool - https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/x5/listing/4791168661 Its been listed for a while - anyone know this one or have any background on it?

Ahh gotcha - thought OP was referring to the official BMW NZ Club 😎

Complete form, pay membership fee, get invited to join their Facbook page/group, attend organised events, network with other members (virtually/in person) - easy! 🤣

Beautifully stunning! Stunningly beautiful!!

Hold up - there's one in Welly?? Where is it and does it come out into the wild? I would like to see it! 😀 I do like this one...
