This one is cooler!

Manual, NZ new, Schnitzer kit. And what young lady could resist purple?

All for only $2000 more. I'd do it. Resale would be much better too, think of all the automatic, Jap import 318Ti out there on the market.

yep its a jappa but we guna make it look like its not straight off the boat starting with the jap numberplate holder

Why don't you import a 2001 320 model with the 2.2l motor, facelift front end and would be on the road in NZ for $12,500, complied and rego

Grade three?

Grade 3 because TAU mark their cars harder and the scuff mark on the back corner. Have bought in a grade 3 from TAU and it is equal to a grade 4 or 4.5 on the USS auctions.

I have bought 12 cars from them over the last 3 years. Mostly Audi A4 and BMW Z3, Z4, 320. Have just changed to another company as the service is improved. TAU is a good first timers company to work as you get a more photos of the car and the web site is easy to understand. I have helped a further 6+ friends bring in their first cars thru TAU. Everyones initial concern is that you send the $ over and then there is the worry nothing turns up. It is natural and I had it with my first car. Then you realise the culture in JP is about trust and the company is extremely honourable to work with. I wouldn't risk my money with other unknown operators.

PBOY - did you get the blue 320? I was trying to talk my brother into it as it was a great price. If it is your first time and you have any questions on what happens next, send me an email
