tankguy 20 Report post Posted Wednesday at 09:39 AM (edited) https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/535i/listing/4900136186 Can anybody share any history on this car? Do we think that 30k is ambitious in the current market, given the high mileage? Looks to be in pretty good condition but it has been listed for a while. Has anybody seen the car (recently) in person? Edited Wednesday at 09:40 AM by tankguy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted Wednesday at 07:55 PM I think it could be a bit high on price but perhaps not as much as you might think. It's NZ new. Which is in it's favour. The TM listing says it is a 1987 car and imported, but a VIN decode suggests it is actually NZ new and an April 1986 car. (Hmm. VIN decode.. mdecoder tells me I've exceeded my daily limit despite my using 3 completely different networks and not have checked anything in weeks; bimmer.work just goes around in circles.) More interestingly and very relevantly, it looks like this is NOT a 535i. It is a M535i. Which is another ball game. As such, it's rarer than might have been thought and I strongly suggest making the effort to get there and look at it. (I know - Chch to New Plymouth isn't easy.)

topnotchrally 101 Report post Posted Wednesday at 08:17 PM My 2cents...2 things concern me about the listing. The owner somehow 'forgot' it has a sunroof? Sketchy. Also, 'shrek' cam? I guess he means Schrick, again, not what you'd call a detail oriented owner. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
