Estimated $6500-$8500. Has 200KMs on it but pretty tidy and:

• Power steering fluid below low
• Oil leaking under engine power steering area
• Bonnet gas strut broken

Reckon this could/would be a bargain subject to inspection.

I like my E60 but wish I'd gone for a MSport from an aesthetic point of view. Tempting!

Good spot Pete - and yeah, could be a great pickup at the right price. A bit of a tidy up, swap over the wood trim, get rid of the JDM monsoon thingees and you'd be away!

If it was in Welly I think I'd be out having a look. Easier to avoid/resist since it's in Akld

You'd have seen this one I presume? A few more $$$$ and also with some niggles but could be a lot of car for not a lot of dollars... NZ New, and local.

 

Might even shoot up the road for a look at lunchtime - purely out of curiosity

Yep - but I have one of those already (refer pic)  I just like the Motorsport aesthetic.

That would be a good buy for say $9k. Hopefully all the plastic and rubber crap that I've had to sort on mine (2004, 150kms) has been sorted.

I agree re the MS - that'll be a definite for me next time.

Most of their used stock is pretty trashy - but they do get the odd exception. The pricing on their imports always seems very "optimistic". I'd love to see some of their actual sales numbers.

That 545i is on fixed price offer on TradeMe for $8500...
