Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted October 8, 2013 Much better deal - http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=647345250 Aww, I dunno - I'd debate its a better deal - its certainly cheaper but its done 70,000km extra too...............hard one to call really. (Upon reflection, Yea ok, given extra set of rims & PP with your one, I'd probably lean that way)....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted October 8, 2013 would rather one of these higher milage units than the examples that are only 60,000 or so Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted October 8, 2013 would rather one of these higher milage units than the examples that are only 60,000 or so I can understand that, although I guess once kms get up they'll be due another start to a round of work & $$$ too I suppose......... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) They arent exactly weak motors its not about the "strength" of the motors I think Andy is Wary of the fact that its had lots of shorts runs andor lots of sitting around with relatively "dirty "oil Edited October 8, 2013 by kiwi535 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1662 Report post Posted October 8, 2013 Comment had nothing to do with Andy comment. I misread Blue 540i's comment about it needed another round of work which i misinterpreted as engine work. End of the day the V12's are a fairly cheap engine to buy if you ever needed replacement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted October 9, 2013 well I know im not the only one that thinks Calypsotrot is the best colour. makes it very easy when i had to get some bits painted a few weeks ago, could get stuff for both cars painted on the same mix of paint ha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
