Sammo 2544 Report post Posted April 7, 2021 Quite curious to see how high this goes - over 300,000km, well used, does not seem too neglected for the kms but definitely in need for some TLC. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/3044036194?bof=p4iKHilQ 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topnotchrally 106 Report post Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) I am shocked that BMW made a car in 1994 without airbags... NZ market only? Edited April 8, 2021 by topnotchrally Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My old 94 M3 had only a drivers airbag, whilst my 96 E36 had drivers and passengers. Plenty of cars back then didnt have them standard, it was early days of the technology.

Ghost Chip 188 Report post Posted April 9, 2021 I wonder how high it’ll get. Always curious though why people end up bidding so early in the auction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do it when I have a set amount I want to pay. Set the auto bid and leave it, dont have to worry about forgetting to bid. Its possible Jim set an autobid at 15k, and Vonkrum had one set for slightly lower, which would explain the jump. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost Chip 188 Report post Posted April 9, 2021 Fair enough. Different styles. I feel like I just bid closer to the end since someone can just outbid me by a few bucks which would suck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus its a more practical interface than the standard trademe one. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted April 21, 2021 Nice. I wonder if it has had it's engine and box rebuilt? That's a good $10K. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My old one with 300k on the clock had no issues with engine or gearbox except needing a head gasket with the previous owner, and a vanos rebuild. One before that was over 200k also with no issues other than vanos and timing chain tensioner. They're not fragile engines like the later cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
