Hi all, the wife has decied she would like a E34 or E39 touring. Although the 540 6 speed I found in the UK would have been really sweet it sold within days. ...
Hi Andrew, you will struggle to import any car that is less than 30 years old. The duties and taxes will make your eyes water and are really designed to...
Hi Goeff, my understanding was that there was duty of 10-20% and gst @ 10% and freight. I have a mate in the container/shipping business so the freight part...

Hi Cain, That is the silver one I found last night. Not sure that I like the wheels though, Would have to find some throwing stars I think. Geoff poured cold...
OT: But gee it's a nice car isn't it??... Ex SA so no rust!! only issue appears to be with the interior being retrimmed differently to original... Still if you...
Hi Andrew, be careful trying to buy an E34 offshore, the import laws won't allow you to bring it in if it's been made post Jan '89 (& I think the tourings...
Hi all, This car looks like an ex UK import (the speedo is in miles). Did someone say RUST!! Andrew I wish you well in the quest to bring it in under REVS, I...
Garry is right. You wont get one in due to import laws. It won't qualify for SEVS as E34's (including tourings) were sold here and that will disqualify it...
I missed out on a cheap 525iT In Brisbane a few months ago, it would have been a good base for a 540iT. It was under $6k and it was a manual. Think I might ask...
Hi All, I thought that NZ still accepted cars with MPH speedo's ? And in the TradeMe ad it states History: 2 owners, NZ New. Rust, come on E34's don't rust...
There is a525iX for sale in Qld Imported from the UK quite a few years ago as a personal import. Does anyone know much about these all wheel drive versions ? ...

Funny you should mention that particular JPS 635 road car, I was looking at it on trademe just last night. Reminded me of watching Jim Richards battling away...
I got a few shots of the racing JPS635 at the Musclecar Masters at Eastern Creek on fathers day. It was nice to see it - even if he was having mechanical...
Hi Andrew, many would say that the 635 is the best looking car that BMW has ever produced. It's very hard to take a bad photo of one as it looks good from...
The NZ car is rust free.The owner is a member of the local club.It is as good as it looks and as far as i know is a Aussie/NZ car. ... BMW has ever produced....
Hi All, the closest I have been able to get is... Buy the 1:18 scale 850CSi (us$135) to steal the throwing star wheels off, and also buy a matching scale...
Hi Andrew, Well done! I think you've found a "newie." I'm pretty sure it is #26 as that has the M cloth interior and the one in the ad appears to have the Bi...
I'm reading Garry's post and thinking how can he see bi-colour leather, but looking at the photo's more carefully it would appear to be just that. Bit sad I...
Ok I'm going to own up to my intentions on a 635. If I was to buy a black one I could use it to replicate the most elengant touring car seen on an Australian...
Just looked up Huntingdale on google and it is 10 mins from my brothers place in Rockingham. Unless someone is closer I will email and ask to him contact the...
