turboray82 15 Report post Posted Wednesday at 08:03 PM One of my regrets was not buying one new. Three cheers to the guys who purchased new, and drove for free for 10 years. Heck, seeming to continuing to do so. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/5329879033?utm_source=tmm-savedsearch&utm_medium=email&bof=8Har5zGj Very nice 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The owner also built a 1m clone out of a 135i, with an s65 swapped into it, which I’d imagine he prefers driving hence selling the 1m. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turboray82 15 Report post Posted Wednesday at 08:48 PM Yeah i want to see that one. There is a finnish(?) guy i follow on Instagram who builds them all the time with V8 swaps. He V10 swapped a TVR but sadly binned it shortly after 13 minutes ago, elias said: Beautiful example that one, and cheaper than some of the others I’ve seen listed.

elias 369 Report post Posted Wednesday at 08:52 PM Yeah have seen that guy, one of his cars has been brought into Nz, a blue s65 swapped one. Met both owners of the s65 clones the other week, the cars look fantastic in person. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VADER 6 Report post Posted Wednesday at 09:45 PM That thing is classy AF. What's the general feeing on 1M resale / purchasing... there's not a huge amount of recent history to go on. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deedub 96 Report post Posted Wednesday at 11:32 PM The only others I've seen recently were low Ks (around 50-60k mark I think) on the clock and asking between $80k-$100k. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turboray82 15 Report post Posted Wednesday at 11:51 PM I'd say that a very fair price. He's also done the maintenance so hopefully a well sorted car. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil McCauley 431 Report post Posted Thursday at 07:45 AM Awesome cars, if slightly overpriced for what they are imho. There seems to be a perception of rarity when the reality is that there’s probably almost 40 of them in NZ alone. With that being said, they’ve not depreciated in any meaningful way since they were new, which is unheard of really - consider an E9x M3 could have been had for low 20’s at their bottom. It’s always the same cars up for sale though, the garage queens don’t seem to come up for sale. There’s been a couple of sub 10K km cars go for around $90k which I think is probably where the market actually is. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4082 Report post Posted Thursday at 08:14 AM (edited) Epic cars, it's an interesting proposition. A garage queen with low miles will hold value but, if you're going to drive it, like this one is intended, then you surely have to consider an OG M2 for ~$20k less, or a M2C for similar money (or less) right? And as driver's cars that's going to be a tight, and probably subjective, call. None came up (that I could afford) whilst looking for my M2C so unfortunately I didn't have the option. Had this been available I would have 100% considered it. But also, I agree with @Neil McCauley, these are not rare, the e46 CSL is my benchmark for "obtainable" "rare", BMW's. I can't see the 1M reaching those levels. Edited Thursday at 08:15 AM by M3AN 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
