balancerider 779 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=2536727621 This has slightly piqued my interest (as a second round town vehicle). Decent engine, practical, well specced, good fuel economy, space for dog in boot. The obvious flaws in the driving experience don't matter so much for round town driving, would want to check out the hail damage (pre-photos if possible). Thoughts? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BMW NZ has been known to make the same mistake (3.5L 335i E90 anyone?). 'Twinpowerturbo' is fairly confusing for Joe Punter. In all seriousness, the B48 seems a pretty good combo of performance / economy / reliability Edited February 18, 2020 by balancerider Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2963 Report post Posted February 19, 2020 This isn’t a “punter” or a private sale, so you would think a dealer would get that right as CGA would apply and this could constitute mis-representation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
