Hi All, Very new on here and looking for some advice. I'm currently living in the UK and moving home to NZ next month and am looking into purchasing an E46 M3 to bring home. I've checked out a silver, 2003, SMG, coupe with 92k miles (148,000km). It has full service history and has also had a thorough inspection which has come back fine; no under body rust, no cracking in rear sub-frame, no modifications, recall free, SMG shifting smoothly, so seems to tick all the major boxes. Have done my research and I should be able to import it under the Special Interest Vehicle category as it wont pass the Euro 4 requirement for a standard import. I've worked out i should land it on the road in NZ for under $27,000 all up. I'm very new to the market for these epic machines so I just want some advice from the experts if you think this is worth doing, and what a car like this is likely to be valued at in NZ? I plan on garaging it and using it as a weekend toy so as to keep it in good nick and keep the KMs low. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Not sure if this is appropriate for these forums(feel free to remove if it isn't) but I figured someone would be able to help here. Been considering importing a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7, 8, or 9 over the past few weeks and i've done a bit of research and found the average cost of buying one through the auctions or online listings etc. But I contacted an Japanese car importer that is on trade me, and he told me that they weren't allowed to import them. I asked why and he gave me this answer: "It is for NZ emission standards. They are very strict.." So I tried to do some more research but didn't really find anything that backed what he said up. I tried to look on NZTA's website and use their 'Fuel Consumption Import Statement' online checking to see if it is allowed, but didn't have enough information for it to work. So I've come here to ask if anyone knows whether it actually isn't possible to import an Evo 7,8 or 9 into NZ because of NZ emissions standards. Any advice would be appreciated Cheers
