dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted May 12, 2011 My flatmate is looking at this sexy wee thing, but, it's a bit far away from our current location of Bunnythorpe to go check it out. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-367181279.htm I assumed as it's been for sale for quite some time someone on here would have some knowledge of it? Any help is greatly appreciated, cheers, Doug. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 NIce dont know the car but looks good It gives me the horn! looks nice , would he like a 5spd manual though??? i might have a factory nz new 535is coming up soon , white with mtec kit , black leather recaros etc 160k on the clock 5speed manual 17" alloys will probably be less than this one He isn't worried about it being auto, his last E34 was a very ridiculously specced facelift 520i (Couldn'tpull a dollar off a Jew)I'll ask him though, I'd rather he got a manual so I can steal the keys. He's currently driving a UZZ31 Soarer V8 that he's offered the dealer a trade with. It has been for sale since the end of last year. Same with the well overpriced white manual that is on there with the plate WOGBOS.Do you think with all the options and tasty bits it's over priced? I do remember looking at earlier this year on trademe before I went and brought a few bikes =D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 Cool, thanks Brent. I may have to sell both bikes, a cheap 535iS would probably go up in value over the next few years, they're getting harder to find in decent spec and a white E34 with MTec kit does give me trouser tingles....

I had a look at this in January, it drives and looks the part though, i just had a gut feeling and left it. For 5k it does seem like a good deal.

dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted May 14, 2011 Has it got all the Msport goodies though? He wants a good recaro interior, mst b leather and pref in black. Body must be straight and Mtec. Manual/auto is no big deal to him, he doesn't drive hard often, if at all, therefore no point having a manual. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sick Puppy 1 Report post Posted May 14, 2011 Sorry to take this ever so slightly off topic, but can M-spec struts be rebuilt? I'm presuming not, and am figuring given the age and condition of my project to be that I'll have to replace all four corners, but thought it would pay to ask since the topic has come up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted May 15, 2011 Are they not just inserts? Can pick up whole Bilstien struts new pretty cheap these days anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
