Kees 594 Report post Posted March 5, 2022 Saw this on marketplace. Rod bearings done, full service history and it’s NZ New so doesn’t have the marmite interior trim that plagues a lot of the imported ones. Higher ks at over 200,000 though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topnotchrally 106 Report post Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) I’ll assume it automatic. Were these sold in manual? Edited March 5, 2022 by topnotchrally Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vass 830 Report post Posted March 5, 2022 Damn. That's a well sharp price. Amazing how poorly these hold value compared to E46 & E30's. Seems a good buy. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackie 510 Report post Posted March 5, 2022 I'd rather 200k than 100 without bearings. What interior does it have? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KwS 2425 Report post Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Thats a hell of a deal in this market. So much to go wrong, but it'd be worth it. Its also in the realm of the Ks being too high for most dealers to buy and flip too, which means a genuine owner might get a chance to own it.

Harper 547 Report post Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) These are super tempting. I've thought about just grabbing one and immediately doing the bearings diy. It's not that expensive and not that complex of a job. There's no other car you can get with a 5L V10 for that money.

You’re welcome to buy my project 5.2L V10 S6 I had as a backup parts car for my S8 that I recently sold. $4K and she’s yours 🤣 M5 does seem like an amazing buy. Must be a pretty incredible car when it was put up against an F430 by Jeremy Clarkson. Supercar with 4 doors. If I wasn’t in isolation I would seriously consider that silver one.

Vass 830 Report post Posted March 6, 2022 I remember there was a crashed M6 not long ago that I think BMWorld snapped up and soon after were selling the engine alone for like $15k. That considered, this is unreal value. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This one? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/wrecked-cars/listing/3268500009?bof=FPDzf4bj I think BM World got an imported one, I remember there were two black M6s both with front end damage for sale within a couple weeks of each other. What are the chances! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vass 830 Report post Posted March 6, 2022 Might have been the other one, I believe I stumbled upon it on a Turners damaged car auction whilst looking for a 330i donor, but might be mistaken. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Random panel damage too. You would think it was stolen/recovered but it isn’t listed as such. Hasn’t done many ks too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda looks either stolen or vandalised. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda looks either stolen or vandalised. I second this. From my experience with Turners they have a habit of changing critical auction information just before an auction.... Currently its stated as registered but you would need to double check during the auction to ensure they haven't just magically decided to de-register the car. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted March 7, 2022 My bet it is a repo. Often repos are stored until money can be recovered or legal issues are resolved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
