MLee 35 Report post Posted February 28, 2016 This is special:http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1042451300.htmInteresting to see what someone thinks it's worth in the NZ market - I've heard it's almost worth exporting them back to Europe to sell (which would be a crime!). Unfortunately I'm not quite ready to rob a bank. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herbmiester 924 Report post Posted February 29, 2016 Silver, is there any other colour for an M car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2425 Report post Posted February 29, 2016 Blue. Yellow. Red. Lots of colors better than boring bloody silver! As much as i want to say "that price is crack money, bitches be crazy".... thats a proper collectors car there. I wouldnt even want to drive it much for fear of putting km on it. Its immaculate. Bit of a shame he used stock images or engine bay and interior though. Dont like stock images. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3AN 4016 Report post Posted February 29, 2016 That's in mint condition. My mate is thinking of sending his to the UK for a sale. He hasn't had much interest above $90k here but to be fair it's only being passively marketed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MLee 35 Report post Posted February 29, 2016 That's awesome, it's good to see they're holding strong value! (To our detriment) What a car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSET 583 Report post Posted March 1, 2016 Yep, goneburger - it seemed to be well priced and immaculate (30,000kms from memory). Future fast-appreciating classic right there. Hope it stays in NZ - so many of these rare vehicles are being shipped offshore. Can't say I blame the owners/sellers, given what people in other countries will pay compared to here. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted March 1, 2016 ^ and the exchange rate at the moment encourages selling overseas. Although my mate is reconsidering exporting his having heard about this sale! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 1061 Report post Posted March 1, 2016 When I was looking for some centre caps for my Hartge wheels, I had Americans offering me insane money for what was a rough set with no centre caps. My girlfriend at the time thought I was mental dor saying no. Hence why she is an ex. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3_Power 636 Report post Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Although my mate is reconsidering exporting his having heard about this sale! He should see what these are going for in Germany!! Easily double what this guy sold his for (in my opinion far too cheap). Bargain this one whoever bought it. I do have a concern about owning one of these to be honest now, as so many parts are now NLA, you'd almost need a car and a spare just to keep one running in the future. Shame really. But I guess that's one way these are appreciating. I am seriously contemplating pulling the motor out of mine and putting it on an engine stand and putting a stock S54 in there and tune it to run as a CSL given I have all the tools and knowledge to do so. Blow one of these engines up and you'll never get another one now. Edited March 1, 2016 by M3_Power 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I guess that's one way these are appreciating. Understood and agreed. One recently sold in the UK for GBP70k so that's about NZ$150k! He drives his rarely, just has it maintained on his behalf and tended to as required so it doesn't get any wear and tear - he's hoping that means he doesn't have to source any of those NLA parts. He does freak out about the possibility of having somebody slam into it though... as I'm sure you can imagine! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He does freak out about the possibility of having somebody slam into it though... as I'm sure you can imagine! That's cheap again that UK car and I know exactly the one you are speaking of. There's an even more expensive one for sale and I know of two sitting in a bubble LOL. In Germany you'd be paying NZ$220,000 for something like the one just sold here. So I call this owner a bit too desperate to let it go for that sort of money. If I was investing in one however I'd buy one in Sapphire black and LHD. He should be concerned about someone smashing into it .. and it's not just NLA parts, even parts that are readily available have increased in prices by as much as 500%. Break one of those aluminium rear arms and he'll be crying just to get replacements! Edited March 1, 2016 by M3_Power 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
