lord_jagganath 421 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Just wondering, where would you most likely find an '00 e39 diesel in Auckland? I have come across one in Blockhouse Bay road, but that is about it. I probably ought to keep scouring Greenlane and Remuera eh? As for other spots in the country, Tauranga seems to have a high proportion of such vehicles, any particular locale I should keep an eye out for? Getting rather envious of some folks on here getting vehicles for thousands below Trademe List. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Good luck in spotting one. They're are rare as rocking horse sh*t. I've never seen one in the flesh, only on TradeMe and that was with the yucky 2.9 litre motor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle 1662 Report post Posted April 13, 2014 Was going to say its not that expensive, but that was before i noticed he is trying to pass it off as an M-sport. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a 2.9 Why are they all advertising them as 3.0? There's a pre f/l 330d with the 2.9 motor advertised as a 3.0 The 3.0 is a miles better engine.

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted April 14, 2014 Most engine sizes are "rounded" up, very few if any are exactly 2ltr or 3ltr, etc. normally something like 1979cc is called a 2ltr, 2997cc rounded to 3ltr. The earlier diesels were something like 2949cc which still gets rounded up to 3ltr same as the later 2979cc engines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The early X5, 530d, 330d, Range Rovers e.t.c were 2926cc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
