philwalter 30 Report post Posted June 24, 2015 Anyone know anything about this car - good, bad or otherwise ? It may have sold recently in QTown and now up for sale again. Ticks a few boxes - NZ New, Manual and low kms. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-905708685.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted June 24, 2015 First thing i notice is that its a 2003 but prefaclift. Might even be a 2002 build. Check plate on carjam for vin then decode it to find out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haitoman 110 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 That's too expensive for a 2002 build. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 i know the facelift is mid 2003 so it was either built early 03 or sometime in 02 and my suspicion was right. august 2002 build. nice low kms but i wouldnt pay 30k for it. would rather get one thats done 120ks but most works done for 25k than get this for 30 + other expenses which are bound to be due sooner rather than later.

philwalter 30 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 If the bearing issue was a recall then if its a NZ New car....you would think it should have been done by BMW NZ ? Facelift was mainly cosmetic wasn't it ? ....LED rears, boot handle...not much else ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
