Vass 1047 Report post Posted Sunday at 10:22 AM https://www.trademe.co.nz/5368550104 What am I missing here? Yeah, it's a clownshoe, which is rare I suppose BUT it's an M52B28 automatic...? LHD, imported in 2020, never registered in NZ and by the sounds of it whoever buys it will have to take it through compliance themselves... All that for $30k!? Is this insane or am I?

topnotchrally 156 Report post Posted Sunday at 10:23 PM You're not insane... he's dreaming. A little while ago there was RHD Z3M (Roadster) 320hp for $25k on TM. As this isn't even complied, you could buy a manual one in the USA for nz$20k and ship it here for less than this. I don't understand why someone would bother it import a LHD, automatic BMW of any kind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RHD clownshoes were only produced in M versions. LHD ones were available in 'pedestrian' formats. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's an NZ company (I think) that does paint protection. Technically their name is Dura-Seal. I think we have it on our Toyota. Wonder if the owner of Dura-Seal was recalling childhood memories when they came up with the name... Edited yesterday at 05:31 AM by deedub Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
