liyi_92 37 Report post Posted August 3, 2012 Link Hey guys, as some may know I'm sellign my car. After some thought I really wanted to stay in the BMW community. The thing that made me want to change was that my car is a "bit" slow. After looking at some cars, I thought why not get a 540i. So I found this one. Anyone test driven it? Condition is ok? Seems legit? If all goes well I would swap out the headlights to the angel eyes on mine now and same with the rims. Thanks guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks guys Looks pretty tidy and low kms though best to get a mechanic you trust to have a proper look. They look great in black and I prefer the PFL grille. Auction's closed on TM, how much are they asking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Auction's closed on TM, how much are they asking? it has only been on there for 3 or 4 days I think. was suprise to see they took it off. asking buy now pirce was only $6000. It would be a great deal if it was mechanically sound. I requested it to be relisted. If not sold will be going to check it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ BMW 368 Report post Posted August 4, 2012 I imagine the reason it's/was so cheap is that the engine has been swapped out and now the km's don't actually match the engine. I think that would be a bit of a turn off for some buyers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that would be a bit of a turn off for some buyers. Although... if they didn't mention it... no-one would know. You wonder why they have said all that, when the avaerage seller on trademe seems to be far less honest - like the genuine low milage E30's (with an odometer that hasn't changed for 8 years, but it seems to work now....)

True, I guess the VIN and engine numbers won't match. Someone might notice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, possible, although I don't usually check myself, unless it's a classic or something really special. I wonder if someone offered them good money for it and they sold it out of trademe, or if they suddenly realised it was a bit cheap. It was a pretty good price. It might appear next week for a couple of grand more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
