TLH 45 Report post Posted August 29, 2019 You would think for that price they would've put the throwing star covers on the correct way ? 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I'd be getting a lot of change... Buy carefully out of Japan (for example) and you'd be getting towards having a pair of cars for that price.

I would buy THAT car only because it is a e34m5 and a 3.8 at that.Thats the only reason i would buy it.The manual e31 is also of interest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssbmw 220 Report post Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) I agree with the sentiment flowing that the price is kind of ridiculous- almost in line with zany, over-ambitious Oz pricing! However, it is a mega rare example in what appears to be in lovely condition - and in a fantastic colour. There were only a handful of Kiwi-new E34 M5’s in the first place. Sadly one was written off, and a number of (including UK and South African) examples have inter- planetary mileage these days. I personally think this is a $30-$40k car. I know that falls into nice E39 M5 territory (certainly a few more options if you want to buy one of those). However these cars were so rare in the first place - with their engines even hand built! I think this deserves to sit in a nice collection. The values for these (mint examples) are slowly on the rise everywhere around the world.

Contrails 317 Report post Posted September 3, 2019 Seems like a lot of Christchurch dealers seem to getting on this 'Ask for exobeherent price for a Classic BMW' train. Must be something in the water lately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ssbmw 220 Report post Posted September 3, 2019 There’s also some very special, rare classics sitting in garages down there that keep a very low profile. Case in point, only earlier this year, Max a member here (who was trying to sell the late model E39 M5 in LMB that had a front -end rebuild) accidentally by word of mouth came across a 50,000 km e39 M5 in carbon B that was sitting in a 12 car collection just out of Cch. No one knew about that car at all. (Subsequently sold for a profit and now lives in Auckland). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most people in the industry knew about it but Christchurch is very small so it's often who you know more than anything Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
