Contrails 316 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 G'day folks, I am pretty sure this car is a Hell BM conversion and not an original. Didn't this sell for around the 7-8k mark a few months ago? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1112885810.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreakMyWindow 1870 Report post Posted July 1, 2016 Pretty sure this one has been on TM for a wee while. It had orange wheels at one point Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rubix 434 Report post Posted July 1, 2016 Has been on trademe for about a year now.I'm surprised it hasn't sold, regardless of being converted. Must have some flaws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2378 Report post Posted July 1, 2016 i believe its also the one that had serious clutch/flywheel issues discussed on here a while back (with potential discussion of hellbm not doing the job correctly). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2312 Report post Posted July 1, 2016 Orange wheels usually suggest a questionable owner, thus you must question whether or not they had the best intentions for the car I'd hesitate to buy it 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Contrails 316 Report post Posted July 1, 2016 I am pretty sure I remember this selling for around the 8k mark. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rubix 434 Report post Posted July 1, 2016 I am pretty sure I remember this selling for around the 8k mark. The same trader has been selling this for over a year. Believe you may be thinking of another, or he possibly had it listed for a time with a lower price due to a fault, who knows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I am confusing this one with the one Hell BM put up for Auction a few months ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Contrails 316 Report post Posted July 1, 2016 That was a 530i LOL, there's a converted manual 530i silver on sale on the BMW page on facebook. I am guessing this is the one? He's asking 11k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
