Fai+H777 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) As some of you know a vehicle I imported was stolen before I was able to take posession of it. I would be greatly appreciative if Bimmersport members could keep a look out for a BMW with the following specs: 2003 BMW 525i M-Sport (It had no markings on the back) Chassis # WBA - DS42060BZ41891 Titanium Silver M-Sport bodykit, M-sport wheels Sunroof Tints on back windows Or even if you see a 5-Series M-sport in Silver. Heres a few pics: More pics here If by any chance you do see one, please try to take the license plate number. Edited July 20, 2007 by Fai+H777 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 That sucks, but sort of funny... Someone stole your car before it was yours. Will keep an eye out, there's not many 03 5-series Touring to start with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fai+H777 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 I'm the importer so it was mine, but I hadn't taken posession of it yet (car arrived on boat, went to MAF to get cleaned, then was stolen out of a holding compund). But I have someone to sue if it doesn't show up. The car was stolen from the port in Auckland. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACS E46 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2007 Damn. Sorry ti hear I thought the "later model" bimmer's are very hard/nearly impossible to steal? Thats part of the reason why I bought an E46 :confused: But I guess they could have jacked it up and towed it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fai+H777 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2007 A vehicle matching the description of my car was involved in a pursuit. The driver then jumped out, locked the car, and ran away. The car is now in the police lot. I don't have confirmation yet as to whether it is my car, but the odds are on my side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liam02 6 Report post Posted July 23, 2007 sorry to hear about the theft. As an importer what would you be selling a car like this for in NZ, i am looking for a car similar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High 30's low 40's including all the aftermarket parts I will be adding. Its a very rare vehicle and for that price you can only get a sedan of the same year (without thousands of $'s of add-ons) if your lucky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have confirmation yet as to whether it is my car, but the odds are on my side.You have a problem now though, would've been better if they'd written it off as you now have a stolen and recovered vehicle that is of lesser value than it was originally. They probably thrashed the living sh*t out it too during the pursuit. Bugger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
