Driftit 2093 Report post Posted August 10, 2023 I hope the seller makes all the scummy car dealers fight in driveway to see who gets to list it at double that price for the next 2 years. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treone 649 Report post Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Wondered what happened to this one. Would see it now and again but not for the last few years. Edited August 11, 2023 by treone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topnotchrally 112 Report post Posted August 10, 2023 Great car in a great colour, I almost bought one 15 years ago (LHD). But... -it's missing the factory radio -has a LOT of kms -has EDC, not a plus in my book as it will definitely need replacing/removing at some point, if it even works now. The 91 was on TM for along time at $45k... no sure if it sold. It only had 160k kms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1679 Report post Posted August 11, 2023 Mileage is steady and appears to have had decent life being 1 owner and imported in NZ early on. K's mean very little in regards to engine health but you'd do the relevant tests on it anyway. Suspension is stuffed on most old BMW's regardless so you'd likely be replacing most of it if not already done. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaknout 47 Report post Posted August 13, 2023 Stunning car. I remember having a great chat with the owner after a visit to the Paraparaumu pool. Lovely guy and a real enthusiast. Condolances to the family if they end up reading here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harper 559 Report post Posted July 23 Saw the video when he posted it and remembered the car when it was for sale. Bit of a shame it sold overseas really. Really lovely spec, e34 m5 is on my car bucket list to own and that one would've been the one to get. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ssbmw 223 Report post Posted July 23 (edited) I live in the USA so I was initially confused why he would make this purchase. Doing a little due diligence looking at the cars sold/available in the USA- there is a shortage of E34 M5’s in the iconic, eye-catching M colours like Daytona violet. Everything seems to be in white or black with the standard leather interiors. This ex-Christchurch car spent the majority of its time near Wellington. I had heard of this car for years - people talked about this purple M5 with m cloth interior- a spec I similarly coveted. My buddy owns a white ex-UK M5 that was brought into NZ and has black leather with M cloth inserts. So insanely cool too! So I get it. This cat in Illinois was not going to find one like this in the USA very easily - despite the population. Awesome spec.

BM WORLD 1286 Report post Posted July 25 i think the black twin M5 shown in old photo was the one i stripped a few years back (2017) as it came up from timaru 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
