Imported e39 M5 registered as a special interest vehicle in NZ?

My bad Allan, my mistake!! I should have read what you wrote a little more carefully!! That actually makes complete sense and I am suspecting what you are saying may in fact be how it has been applied. Interesting perspective. Thanks.

Writing sucks. Talking is way easier!

Car runs very well, pics as promised.

Thanks guys for the kind comments. The E39 M5 sure is a great car.

Hey team!

bumping an old thread here but here is a list produced by NZTA

It has the 2003 M5 and 2003 M3?

Unsure why though.

Hope this helps someone!

it could be as simple as they update the list with vehicle make, model, and year of those they've granted SIV status...

cheers!

Read very carefully, the 2003 M3 you mention is only for the M3 CSL not the common or garden variety.

Quite a few people in NZ with non-compliable E46 M3s already, don't want to add more!
