Apex 693 Report post Posted September 30, 2009 And now for something completely different. Here’s an oddball model that you don’t see every day, these are one hell of a car, you would trade off the nice sounding and revving 3.0 petrol for a torque monster diesel that when tuned would eat a 330i and be a lot more drivable, superchips can boost these upto 187kw and 505nm! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-241626145.htm Im not a big fan of diesel cars but after driving a few can see the merits of its lazy noisy power.

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted September 30, 2009 Very nice, 6 speed manual too. It wouldn't be slow and lazy either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted September 30, 2009 would it tow that well, or is it too light? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) I meant lazy power, as in a big tidal wave dollop of torque instead of a high rev delivery. Watch how this thing just lazed its way up in speed, no drama. They would tow quite well. Edited September 30, 2009 by Apex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greenday-rulz21 4 Report post Posted September 30, 2009 Gay little boot spoiler. But apart from that its a very nice car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AN E30 Fan 1 Report post Posted September 30, 2009 Nice car, no doubt about it. But for that money wouldn't you rather have an M3? There is one for that money, seems fairly average condition though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted September 30, 2009 If you could buy a 2003 NZ new M3 for that with a FSH id rather the M3 but the only M3 near that money will be a Asian immigrant with an unknown history, the M in M3 stands for Money, if you can’t afford a good NZ new model you can’t afford an M3. This thing would cost about one quarter to maintain and run. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted September 30, 2009 X3. The 330cd is cool though and would suit someone looking at a sporty economical rare vehicle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmarco 56 Report post Posted October 1, 2009 Only thing I'm not down with is the spoiler - looks a little gay to me. Oh, and the price.... Wasn't there someone on here looking for a 330 diesel manual?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't there someone on here looking for a 330 diesel manual?? Yep, but I have a feeling they were wanting a touring, because they wanted to import one from the UK.

Apex 693 Report post Posted October 1, 2009 Didn’t think this was a competition, was just showing a car that is quite rare and IMO cool, in sixth gear from 2,000rpm it would kill N/A M-Cars. The truth is most us couldn’t afford either.. most of us couldnt afford a service on the M5! Isn’t it funny how we all question the price though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
