BMW 325TDS 1996

Fastest diesel car in the world in 1996!

And first car to have a 5 speed automatic (so I read). This is one of two cars brought in by BMW NZ for evaluation purposes and test the market. They were too expensive at $115,000 new, however are common in Europe where they have a cult following. Same 143bhp turbo six is in 5 series and also Range Rover of same era here in NZ. 800km easily per tank and is silky smooth. Unlike modern diesels she loves to rev and has that wonderfull six cylinder howl. This car covers ground exeptionally quickly and does it with ease. When in cold climates like Central Otago sometimes tend to need a bit of winding over to get the fuel up. Other diesel Range Rover/BMW owners confirm same trait.

All the BMW good bits in this. 325's and 328's are the top spec models not to be compared with the basic spec of 318, 320 models.

Full service record from new. Has had new fuel pump, starter and water pump. Good condition, however the odd stone chip. Switchable 5spd auto, factory trip computer, ABS, fog lights. New wof last week. Q's welcome.

My German wife and I are only selling because we need a wagon for the two prams! This will be a bargain for someone and remember diesel is under a dollar per litre now!
