philwalter 30 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 You sound like the ideal owner for such a superb motorcar, baby it my man save it for the future generations. That is the idea !! Crappy weather this week has meant I've been unable to get behind the wheel of it. Thanks for all the comments - I am on the lookout for some unrestored BBS Style 5's...I am sure I'm not the only one, but if anyone knows of any I'd be keen to know about them.

Hey Phil, Congrats man! Well done. A beautiful car. If you want a set of style 5's, the man who does them better than new (which may conflict with what you want) is a guy called Wolfe who runs a business in Germany selling refurbished wheels. Check out wokke.de A M6 owner from Melbourne that I know got a set from him, and they are unreal. REgards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check out wokke.de A M6 owner from Melbourne that I know got a set from him, and they are unreal. REgards. Thanks mate - wow that is an impressive wheel collection. I'm sitting on the fence a bit over which direction to go with the car with wheel choice. The 3 piece ACS rims are also real nice, and would keep the OEM/Schnitzer theme of the car better perhaps. The current alloys are the 16x7.5 option - so they in themselves are not as common as the 15", so I'm pretty happy to roll with them till I find what I need.

Glad to see it's gone to a good home though Thanks - yep this is the same car. If its any consolation once I was happy with it I didn't muck around. Some of the best finds are discovered outside from the daily trawl through TradeMe huh I think its very easy to forget that these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbkiwi 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) I think I found it on another BMW NZ site, buried somewhere and with one terrible photo and no email address. Made some enquiries, was emailed a better photo...made arrangements to drive to Hamilton in the weekend...FOILED 2 days later! Oh well...enjoy the car. It looks absolutely amazing. Go you! Hope I can find another one (not holding my breath!) Edited May 27, 2010 by dbkiwi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
