M3_Power 636 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) Don't be. I know the person that used to own this and the Insurance company that wrote it off when it was T-boned at an intersection. I showed the old owner of the advert and he was very surprised it got put back on the road - VERY surprised. Edited August 30, 2011 by M3_Power Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 300kms?? IMO I think it's priced at where it should be, I'd rather a low milage 328i personally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sascha 17 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 Had that on my watchlist too, was gutted I missed it at first but the lack of a FSH and the high kms made me feel better. If it's been in a serious crash before then I'm even more glad I didn't impulse buy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted August 31, 2011 305ks... previous big crash? Run... Yup, run, run like a bastard, I'd be running at just those k's on a high performance car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely they've had some rather decent repairs. 300kms on a performance engine is one thing but it has to have gotten there with some hefty maintenance. I'm not saying they are as un-reliable as an Audi but they are no Corolla either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nastnas 9 Report post Posted August 31, 2011 kms is such a NZ thing..... IMO its how the car was maintained in its life.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3_Power 636 Report post Posted August 31, 2011 km mean jack sh*t I agree - and I know for a fact that this motor has had a BMW dealership rebuild under warranty. However the T-boning and ensuing write off by the insurance company was some 8 to 10 years ago from memory when E36 M3s were fetching $35K+?? That's a pretty decent hit I'd say and according to my friend that car was in his own words "f**ked" - hence his surprise it was ever put back on the road.

deeveus 81 Report post Posted August 31, 2011 km mean jack sh*t I agree - and I know for a fact that this motor has had a BMW dealership rebuild under warranty. So obviously the engine totally shat itself, could have been outside warranty and been just as un-lucky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted August 31, 2011 its all about servicing and whats been replaced etc my e28 m535i with 515,000km now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cytamen 1 Report post Posted September 1, 2011 Exactly. But most people selling cars don't sell them right after spending a couple grand servicing it. I reduce my budget by about $2k when buying a car and factor $2k in to get it up to scratch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1662 Report post Posted September 1, 2011 Do an E28 odo's stop at 500,000 too like the early e34s? or is that just an old picture Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polley 916 Report post Posted September 1, 2011 As said before, KM's dont mean sh*t, a 100k (parts starting to fail, bushes etc) car is probably more shagged than 150k (bushes etc already replaced) car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted September 1, 2011 Do an E28 odo's stop at 500,000 too like the early e34s? or is that just an old pictureno they keep going , its reading 515,000 odd now it was only the early e34 with the digital odo read out that used to stop at 300,000km or 300,000miles depedning on wether it was a nz or uk car etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted September 1, 2011 Legendary hitting the big half mill. Few years back in QLD we had a taxi an old AU Failcon which had 550kms and I thought, fark even at 550kms it's bloody rough, and told the driver this, and he said yes, 1.55 million kms and had had a few engines and boxes, and about 6122 differentials.

An AU falcon with that mileage is horrifying. I hope you walked the rest of the way! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted September 1, 2011 Haha, it got us there barely. There was quite a few of them with the 1 mill plus when I lived in Melbourne. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
