Much, much rarer than a M3. Shame it's just never really been used, but that's reflected in the condition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m 99% sure my vert didn’t, looks like it was body colour over the stone chip / underwear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recall it being an option to have the lower sections painted body colour etc. Black lower sections are povo spec. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exchange rate, shipping, GST, etc would see this car at mid $50's landed in NZ. And then compliance on top of that and who knows what gremlins could be hiding there! I would fully expect to have $60k nzd into this car with a WoF and rego in NZ. It's up to you to figure out whether or not that number is good enough for this car.

It's up to you to figure out whether or not that number is good enough for this car. Unless someone who’s living in Aus buys it, keeps it for a year and then moves to Nz. It will be about $2-3k for shipping and compliance provided the car is in sound condition. Edited October 31, 2022 by Contrails Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil McCauley 248 Report post Posted November 8, 2022 Well I guess the countless times I left my number on the windshield in the NW Remuera car park didn't pan out... Photos are near Wynyard Quarter, but I'm guessing the current location gives a clue as to the current owner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
