Haha, unfortunately the family is growing and i dont let the dog in BMW. Odyssey is a good idea, but think i'll need a 4x4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) My old car... And my photos from 18 months ago! It doesn't look like that now. I saw it a few months ago and both splitters were munched and LHS front bumper was cracked and wheels were a rash of curbing. And he's asking more than he paid for it!! EDIT: In fact, most of the text is from my original ad more than 18 months ago!

Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted October 28, 2015 How low is it Jools? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Are these your original photos Julian? Its on my watchlist... Yep, they're 18 months+ old. Last time I saw it was at the end of March. It had lost its good looks (see photo above) but it's possible he's repaired it, though new CF splitters will be hard to come by. He's put some 15K kms on it since I owned it as well so not sure where he dreamed up the price? I sold it for $11.5K, I think. How low is it Jools? On Msport II suspension so perfect ride height but not super low. Edited October 28, 2015 by jeffbebe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted October 28, 2015 i already knew that the photos were julians old pictures from his sale. I too have seen it a few months back and it was no where near in the condition as it once was re-using old pictures and description doesnt give a good impression to me (but in all fairness no one else would know except us) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had to replace the front as it got whacked by a log which fell off a truck. Got the same front from the US, but yes unfortunately the splitters got damaged. fresh cut and polish and wheels re-skimmed, it's looking good now. you built a great car and i'd love to hold on to it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 I'd love the RSIIs back!!!! haha 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 Optimistically priced for a 15 year old car with 200,000km. The RSIIs certainly make an impact on price but gut feeling tells me this is more like a 7k car max in todays market. Julian, is the engine Vanos or pre TU?

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Vanos... Which I had overhauled thanks to HellBM but didn't (though should have) done guide rails. Edited October 31, 2015 by jeffbebe 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted October 31, 2015 They'll no doubt be due / overdue by now then. Pity that sort of info isn't on the trademe listing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
