Its an '05, SMG and imported, but still pretty cheap

[Guest Simon*]

They're ONLY SMG unfortunately Jordy

That's why the E39 M5 and E92 M3 are way cooler

Oh Sheeeet, someone must make a conversion

Saw a Learner driver (looked like a 15yo girl) in a white m5 in omaha a couple of months back

They did bring out a conventional Manual version in LHD didn’t they?

The new SMG in these is all gravy anyways.

That’s a seriously sharp priced car, being Jap allow for an extra 10k in conversions to Euro spec, even then it would be a bargain. Maintenance costs would scare the fork out of anyone on a sup 100k PA income though, can see so many of these M5’s turning into a pile of rubbish for that reason.

LHD Manual was only for the American market. Read an article in Total BMW about it.

I wouldn't buy a $99000 car off trademe before first viewing it. So what the listing's not perfect.

It is NZ new, thats a bonus

It is NZ new, thats a bonus

And you get all this too

The BMW Premium Selection Program provides every vehicle with 24 months BMW Factory Warranty and Service Inclusive: which covers all scheduled servicing: general repair costs and WOF's. Also included is BMW 24 hour Road Side Assistance for peace of mind motoring

Which may verywell add up to lots of $$$$$$

[pjay 8]

I'm sorry I'll be more specific.

This auction: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-220316971.htm

Is NZ new. the $99000 auction. Not the 1st auction. Simple mistake

[e30plz 1]

There's a 7speed V10 M5'ey thing up here like that, cept it's an 07 or 08 I think, Pretty tough.

The only BMW I saw while in Kalgoorlie, WA was a M5 (E60 in the light blue colour, he gave it tits all the time too)

And yes there are manual ones. But it's impossible in them to turn the DSC off.. Stops those useless americans maiming themselves though.

prolly listed it as a manual6 because they cant/didnt want to list it as "auto7".

Man these things are getting cheap, was offered an 05 NZ car done 35ks for less than $90k. Be a bloody nightmare without a warranty and they are hard to come by for M cars.
