My Ride: 2004 E60 545i motorsport,,retired ACS E39 2000 520i 2.2, E46 2001 motorsport sedan mine but son's drive, E46 2001 motorsport coupe, and just retired Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
For playn 2007 E92 335i motorsport little brother of my 545i in Alpine white also...faster than my Porsche Cayenne Tirbo and alot more fun..
I have just landed in New Zealand this 2004 545i motorsport with 18,000km from Japan. This model sells in NZ new for $NZ160,000..=US$115,000....total cost including GST and shipping $NZ60,000.Great saving on new ex Japan. The condition is grade 6 ..which is as close to new as you can get. Have removed the motorsport wheels and fitted these M6 AutoArt wheels...rapt with the aggresive look. Tossed up whether to have silver centres but got the best deal ever on the black centres with a 4"f 6"r polished lip...These wheels were on the agent for BBS and Autoart here in NZ on his personal car.
Have changed all front lights that are not xenon to bright white...just hate the yellow OEM.
Things on the to do list...front door tints 35% is darkest legal. M5 Mirrors, maybe some carbon including total roof.....needs to be 15mm lower in rear..diffuser??quads??
Nice to back in BMW after a year in the Porsche Cayenne Turbo..which are NZ$300,000.
