Happy to be corrected again and admit I got it wrong 😁 Updated original post to correct my ignorance 🤣

^^ Agree!

Happy to be corrected! don’t think it’s a fair comparison between these two though - that black one sounds like it was a sh*tter. This one seems to be an improvement over it - without knowing the history or viewing it. interesring how it’s gone straight to asking price / value. I was just commenting on its (realitive) rarity, regardless of what anyone is willing to pay for one - if they were in the market 😎

Im pretty sure the ones being referred to are e70’s. With this being an e53 4.8is I think makes it a little rarer and that more special. Im sold on the colour combo alone and would pay the asking 😎. But similar to @TermiPeteNZ, (unfortunately) I have an M5 now 🤣. seller mentions they also have an estoril blue 4.6is - what a garage!

Don't see these that often, either in the e53 or e70 platforms, with this type of color combination! https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/x5/listing/4624292608 Pics for prosperity:

Bump

My 2c - don’t scrimp on a battery. Just replaced the one in my e60 m5 with a Varta AGM, had it coded, and it is a happy chappie... for now 😎

Welcome to the e60 M5 club!

For what one wonders - an M car? 😁 congrats on the sale!

Hmmm might have to investigate this - damn annoying misfires! Lol like your work @Jun - are you and your technician avail for v10 coils and plugs replacement job?🤣🤣

Bump

Bump - now $180 including a pair of Stanfred 850kg car ramps. Good condition with minor paint blemishes. Would prefer pick-up as it is bulky and heavy. Happy to drop off in the Wellington region.

Bump - price update, now $200! Happy to bring to the Welly catch-up on Saturday if anyone local is interested. Cheers

Bump with price drop - any takers prior to Xmas? Open to offers and unlike Supercheap, this discount is permanent 😎

I've found a treat for myself - anyone keen at $230? 😎

**SOLD** Treat yourself - ToolRO Automotive Kit 198 piece for only $170 + postage. Will include a pair of Stanfred 850kg car ramps. Good condition with minor paint blemishes. Would prefer pick-up as it is bulky and heavy. Happy to drop off in the Wellington region or at a local club meet up. Purchased last year from local Supercheap store. Never used, so 'as new'.

^^ that’s cool!

All good. I will double check what set it actually is. At least you know where a set is.

@E63 - pretty sure I have this kit if you’re interested. Bought new and never used. had the intention of diying. But reality is that’s never going to happen 😁 lol

I’ll take it 👍

Thanks @jon dee - hope to hear from you soon! 😊.

@jon dee interested in the scan tool if willing to sell separately. Cheers
