Dunedin. Nice car, didn't think we would have one in the country as so few were made, I guess someone got lucky.

You sure it was genuine? In melbourne once i saw an E34 with full Alpina decals and kit, wheels, and badging.

It was a 525i.

Only saw it parked on the road as I was driving down a one-way. Looked legit from the back, but as you say a few stickers and a new bumper could do that...

Also, I have a nice very detailed 1/87 dark green scale model by Herpa in a hard plastic case. Fairly rare.
One of my favorites.
