2002 BMW 530d

NCT 1/15, no tax (unfortunately

)

Maxima in what looks like lovely condition. Not sure if it's a repost and it has a short test but still looks good to me

Did they do a 2 liter in the Maxima or has he fitted a Primera engine or something into it?

I see he's recently fitted a new engine into it. What do you make of that Zebra? Could that be a good thing or a bad thing?

Yep you're right! Didn't bring my A game today :pac: Still think it would be good if it wasn't sold though! The Lexi (

) are way better though

the maxima must have been owned by a nissan nutter, 2 fairlady z's in the background as well as an old sunny or bluebird?

You have a keen eye for the background in pictures!

Michelin tyres too:) I would say it's a well sorted car, I hope whoever bought it realizes and keeps it that way!

A nutter in Meath if I'm not mistaken. Search maximas on dd and you'll find a lot

Toyotafanboi · 30-12-2013 02:48AM

****, bit of a fetish there. didn't think there was that many maximas in ireland, never mind in one mans back yard

Wouldn't bother me as long as it's running right and he seems like he knows what he's doing

what are you getting at? Whatever DZ says will be just his own personal opinion. clearly a replacement engine can offer merits but also indicate a suspicious past. what more are you looking for?

If i was buying a maxima id get the older A32 '95-'00 with the 3.0 v6 engine.
just doesnt have the electrical problems the later generation has.
I had a '96 2.0l v6 QX before and found it a bitch to sell on (probably because it was snot green.. i mean forest green!)
not the nicest colour they came in but i loved mine!, questions asked when selling were is it the 3l? even some farming bozo's asking was she diesel with a tow hitch

I was impressed with the amount of comfort even as a bog standard low end 2.0 model, a proper bangernomics luxobarge in my opinion

ya wouldnt realise the speed your doing in them, solid in the corners yet soft over potholes, jaysus how i miss it so!!!

Id simply be judging the actual car on its actual merits, paying attention to how it drives (performance acceleration, starting from cold/hot, smoke etc)

And checking it out the same as any normal car - could just as easily to see any other car in done deal find that yes it has the original engine - but its at the end of its days.

Your taking a risk with anything at this price range

Well the toyotas 4Age sounds miles better than most and are plenty of fun:cool: and the ae86 are a far better driving experience than most other cars of the day but cant touch a mk2 16v gti golf on the straights or in the bends either mate sorry.

Im speaking from years of experience here in my boyracer(on zee private roads:D) days never found any corolla could touch my stock golf.. only time I felt the fury of a Toyota it were a few tuned Glanza/GTs.

Rant over:)

and your dead right about the Swift Gti16vs just like a tiny 4Age a mate had a black 93 with 4 branch and full system and sounded and revved out exactly like a 4age

I sincerely doubt that tbh

I myself wouldn't touch a car with a second hand replacement engine. You never know what miles are on the replacement unit or how it was cared for.

I know the same can be said for a car with it's original engine but at least you will be able to get some idea from the cars condition as to how it was cared for Imo.
