Kodachrome 151 Report post Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Half toying with trading it in, but the trade in offer I got from the place that had the car I wanted was terrible. Two other dealers actually offered competitive valuations but they don't have what I wanted any longer. This is a NZ new, full spec 550hp "M" car.. Similar engine to the M5 and M6. 2010 model, about 147k on the clock. This vehicle is in excellent condition with loads of important service items recently undertaken. Way back when from new it was specced up and given to Brendan McCullum. Personalised plate (X5 ///M) is provided. Lots of features : Panoramic sunroof Selectable M mode (in addition to Sport mode), giving more power/response, stiffer suspension, stiff steering, opens up the quad tip exhausts etc Heads up display Reversing camera and parking assist Keyless entry Push button start Built in hard drive for the stereo as well as Bluetooth for phone Latest BMW NZ 2020 Sat Nav maps Heated, memory seats. Fully adjustable, they 'hug' you while driving. Auto lights (inc. auto dip) and wipers Rubber bootliner As well as all the normal stuff you would expect like tow bar (removable, with key), black leather interior, air conditioning, cruise control, etc Engine has had the problem parts replaced with revised genuine BMW parts to ensure the same failure does not reoccur prematurely. Full overhaul including: Timing chain and tensioners Oil pump chain Valve stem seals 4 cam sensors 4 VANOS solenoids Water pump Thermostat Associated gaskets and seals Spark plugs Auxiliary water pump and reservoir I've also put 4 new Nexan Performance tires on it, and full alignment; the only really expensive regular service item checked off for the new owner for quote a while! Full Build sheet attached. Wants for nothing, get in and drive. Offers around $30k?

leichtbau 525 Report post Posted March 16, 2021 I loved driving these when they were brand new, such a hilarious tonka truck to hustle quickly. Sharp pricing as well, someone will quickly work out the man-maths required and own it at 30K I should think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

balancerider 758 Report post Posted March 17, 2021 @TermiPeteNZ you are a very brave man (daily'ing an S63 and a V10 as your weekend car!) - either that or you have a majority interest in Z. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will think on this! This would be an epic replacement for the E53, heck you could probably even sell the E60 M5 and consolidate down to two cars, the F30 335 and this beast SUV.

sobanoodle 45 Report post Posted March 17, 2021 What sort of rule consumption do you get when daily driven, both in a sensible and not so manner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is almost completely low speeds + brisk acceleration around Wellington, so it couldnt get worse as a fuel economy torture test. Driving out of the city, its much lower, maybe like 11L/100KM or something combined. Fun Fact, as an M Car it doesnt even have a Fuel Economy Guage, it has the race like Oil Temp Guage. Its also got a "Track Driving" section in the user manual complete with semi-secret Chequered Flag on dash for actual built in Launch Control! Ive actually never used it, maybe I should test before I sell. Its a super fun car. Edited March 17, 2021 by Kodachrome 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Average showing 16.7l/100km at the mo after being away at the BMW Club National Meet near Taupo 335i DD is showing 10.9 average and the X5 4.4i sits around 15.6 - both urban use figures. 31 minutes ago, balancerider said: Or rod bearings...or vanos...
