Kees 594 Report post Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) Haven't seen one of these for sale in a hot minute. Le Mans blue, NZ new and with original plates. My kind of car! Do I just throw away my financial future and buy this? The temptation is real 🤣 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m5/listing/3496899169?bof=FgQV8h64  With such low ks and in the quintessential E39 M5 colour, I wouldn't be surprised if this sells in a matter of hours/days. Edited March 2, 2022 by Kees Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harper 547 Report post Posted March 2, 2022 Yeah these don't come up often. Seems a reasonable price as well. Won't last long I'm guessing. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sammo 2544 Report post Posted March 3, 2022 Seems like a sharp price if its been maintained - it certainly does not appear to have been pampered from the photos? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At $35k it was grossly underpriced and $60k odd being the market rate 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Real cool. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 1060 Report post Posted March 3, 2022 What if I or a private individual did it? Is it OK then? No different from a sparky buying a plug socket for $10, then selling it for $15 as part of an install 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At $35k it was grossly underpriced and $60k odd being the market rate I doubt it sold for 35k as you assume Gaz. But yes it probably did sell in trade, and quickly as the comments show.

treone 647 Report post Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Anyone keen on a lung and an 840ci so i can have a shot at this bahaha 🤣🤣🤣. think i’ve seen this one a couple of times parked in the wellington cbd. A nice example that looked like it was actually being used -  and not just a garage queen! awesome combo too Edited March 8, 2022 by treone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That 'start up noise' would not be cheap to rectify I'd imagine Supposedly a pretty normal S62 thing, just the timing chain tensioner. Probably not too expensive if that's all it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
