Contrails 317 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 This will be my daily and it needs a bit of work body wise. But it’s a straight six NA BMW and that’s all that matters. It’s Monaco blue with grey leather. German made and was once used as a display car by BMW in Germany (apparently). 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adro 1083 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 Good score. Looks mint. What needs attention? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 wow, this is a very interesting car. the grey leather interior is quite nice and that wood trim is definitely not the standard "wood" trim. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leichtbau 525 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 Great pick up Rohan, was very tempted myself! I really really like the Birchwood interior trim, looks sooo much better than the Jaguar-spec brown wood that kiwi new coupes seem to have been afflicted with. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And front bumper has definitely been in a few scraps with steep driveways and lots of stones. The rest of the body needs a good cut and polish to get rid of the swirls.

I really didn’t want one in silver. The Monaco blue was just stunning to look at. I paid just over $8k for it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The vin (WBABD52020PM09452) comes up as a Left hand drive. But also as a National version Australia and radio Oceania. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its only showing LHD in one decoder, which seems to be having a mare as its also missing a bunch of info. Bimmer.work shows it as RHD https://bimmer.work/vin/p04e66ce8c919e8c683bc0007b7835b03.pdf Its got a real nice spec, and does mention Pre-series Management, whatever that means. Looks like a good buy.

balancerider 752 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 Spec looks amazing. Can't imagine many cars in 2004 had bluetooth phone prep! Not sure about a towbar on a coupe though... https://bimmer.work/vin/p04e66ce8c919e8c683bc0007b7835b03/ Google translate may have slightly missed the point on the wood. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am definitely using bimmerwork from now to decode vins. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hqstu 780 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 The free VIN decoder(s) seem to be bringing all cars (I've looked at) up as LHD. Good score... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
