Was flicking through a classic car magazine from January 2019, and I decided to have a look at the for sale section to sulk about classic car prices from 3 years ago. After seeing a 993 911 for 32K, I turn the page and see a familiar looking red e30. 

@E28E30

Spotted! 

Aha Kees! @Kees that’s the one, two number plates ago.   I have found that article online before too, seems to have been a cherished car.   

Makes you cry about that 993 price!

Not a BMW but thought it'd be worthy of this thread. 992 GT3 aka my dream car just parked right outside my place haha, absolutely stunning. Also a GR Yaris in front of it

Went to the Porsche racing at Taupo yesterday and lost count of all the road and track GT3’s on show plus lots of other gorgeousness including GT4S, Gallardo even a Alpine A110.

Followed this beauty all the way to work yesterday. See the older gentleman driving it past my place on a regular basis, have to stare every time. Nice clean example and great to see it still properly used.

I find it extremely heartening when you (I'm guessing) younger guys refer to us older guys as "gentlemen".  Shows a nice bit of respect, and I really do like it.

However - just to let y'all know.  Not all of us old fella's (me included) are worthy of the title.  In fact - happily unworthy in some cases!

Apropos of nothing really, just sayin..........

I had to have a double take on the photo of the M3!

It looks almost identical to a photo I took of my old one in a car park…

(Also thanks for reminding me how much I miss that car haha).

Saw this 850ci this morning.  I am only aware of @treone 840i as the 8-series on Wellington.

Awesome spot @Jun!

i’m aware of at least 6 e31’s that reside in the Wellington region. This would make 7 if it is not just visiting 😁

Black E34 M5 Rotorua Countdown (the skyline side of town) on Sun. Not sure if it was a legit M5 or just badged as I was trying to leave the car park with people behind me and it was parked between other cars so hard to tell aside from the badge if the other bits were there. Plus the owner was filling her up with bags of groceries so I didn't want to stare lol. Was def looking like a daily driver - if it's legit, that'd be nice to drive on the daily...

There's a black e34 540i with M5 badging and throwing stars which lives down those parts. Plate is BMC924. Might be that?

Would be awesome if it's a genuine M5.
