LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted May 16, 2017 Could you verify the VIN? The last 7 digits of the LTSA loaded one doesn't seem to be the correct one, comes up as an R75 bike? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtstarped 73 Report post Posted May 16, 2017 It's an SA version they are all weird vins as knock down kits. Has vin plates with M5 in it. If keen call. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BMTHUG 1039 Report post Posted May 16, 2017 the vin's on SA cars are always tricky. My e30 vin doesn't even come up as an e30. South African cars are a different breed it seems and this one is no different! very very gorgeous! glws 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NUSTAD 243 Report post Posted May 18, 2017 I was hoping you would complete the set! Look forward to hearing the future project strategy...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtstarped 73 Report post Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Actually after driving the e39 I realised I didn't need the set. I decided that the e39 was more of a daily than a garage queen that would give me the fizz and I wouldn't buy such an old car as a daily next, hence will keep the original and the best ? The e39 is the best all rounder without doubt but misses the drama of the v10 or the prestige of the e28. And the e34 has never spoken to me. Hence something new ??

gtstarped 73 Report post Posted May 19, 2017 Oh no I've opened the door to the rage now ? U wouldn't question the associated costs of a v10 lambo, you just deal with it. I kind of feel the same as the m5, only difference is M5's get used daily and do higher ks. 100hp per litre always seems to cause problems in bmws. Buy a Honda ?? I reckon ? They seem to manage ok Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NUSTAD 243 Report post Posted May 19, 2017 I like your thinking. the e28 is awesome - that is a keeper. e39 comes alive with shouty exhaust treatment......which I need to do more of. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gtstarped 73 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 relisted http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1329462975&ed=true The perspective buyer pulled the pin after buying on TM when he was told it was circa 30 years old car (seemed to surprise him) and the underneath wasn't polished like the top. Presumably would be driving and viewing it upside down regularly Ready for sale again. Still paint to be done but am trying to book in as soon as possible.

martyyyn 102 Report post Posted May 28, 2017 I look at this auction every day. I don't know why because I can't justify it at this time in my life (or more importantly to my wife who wants a new kitchen !) But an e34 M5 is the one car I would replace my 535is with and I would love to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCammer 5 Report post Posted June 5, 2017 Hey fellow M5ers Thinking (just thinking) about letting my e39 go for something older maybe an e28 or e34. I don't really want to list on Trademe (already been Mufan'd) and would want it to go to a fellow enthusiast. It is 1999 NZ new (Jerry Claytons) 190k and super clean. All maintenance and preventative maintenance done. Do you guys know of anyone who is looking for a good one? Will want $25-$26k. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
