Makes me wish I had got our other cars up to scratch to sell and make room. Damn my laziness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmarco 56 Report post Posted December 27, 2009 Whats with the goofy rear number plate holder? Nice classic apart from that though. A mate of mine in the US was looking at this.... Nice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes me wish I had got our other cars up to scratch to sell and make room. Damn my laziness. Hi there, yeah this car has in fact been discussed before. That's cool. It is a good lookinmg car. As mentioned before, it has been 'brought back' as it was looking a tad tired when it was sold by Tony Ramlose from TWR a few years ago. Looks great now. It is a genuine M6 with M-tech bodykit (which is rare) and has a Schnitzer exhaust. Desirable colour and the wheels look great. From memory I think the car was lowered slightly. However, the thing I find odd is that it has a 635csi economy guage on the dash and doesn't have the ///m logo under the speedometer/ tachometer. A genuine M635csi should. These LHD imports don't seem to be moving. Where is the right price zone - $15-$18k? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 It's a shame that the market seems a bit slow for these at the moment. Bruce's M5 isn't moving at $13,500 and I would have thought that was a real bargain. If this went to Turners right now, I'd guess around that $12 to $14 k mark maybe. I'd be hanging on till someone comes along, might be a bit of a wait, that's all. Good luck, lovely car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it passes a basic inspection tomorrow the mighty M5 is off to a new owner in Auckland...sniff sniff, will be sorry to see it go after 8 years.

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted December 29, 2009 Well done Bruce, I guess you have to be realistic sometimes, and the mighty M3 calls I believe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted December 29, 2009 Would love to make room for it in my garage. It certainly seems well priced. Dunno how it hasn't lost that "Goofy" rear plate holder alright. Would be the first thing for me to lose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashmill 68 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 gosh thats been a marathon Bruce,I hope he appreciates what he has got.Hi PaulYes it has - and i can confirm it is sold. Did a compreession check today for new owner 4 at 180 and two at 175. Not bad for 245k. I had to meet the market Paul because I couldn't justify pulling it out of the shed once a month, taking it for a fang and putting it away again - crazy. I did about 350 kays between the last two WOFs. The guy who bought it is Dave, the brother of John Honore who races a Ferrari at our race meetings. Going by what his son Chris said he is fussier than me so the old girl has gone to a good home. As David said the E30M3 will now get some attention. Cheers Bruce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
