After a bit of searching and looking at a few nails, I bought a BMW 525 M Sport yesterday.
Silver, auto, black leather with silver trim.
Year 2000 with 160,000k's (100,00 miles).
Unfortunately some fud had spent alot of time and effort making it look as punjab as possible by adding the most hideous set of 20" chrome wheels, corner splitters on the front, headlamp eyebrows and M5 badges everywhere.
I spent yesterday removing all of it bar the wheel. I have the original M Sport wheels minus tyres so will hopefully stick a set of tyres on them this week and sell the chromes to some cock with a Commodore.
Has a TV/DVD/NAV/iPod/USB head unit which is pretty cool.
Other than the wheels, i dont have any plans for it!

Its all fine. As my visa is classed as a temporary one (although its a 4 year long visa), all the while the visa is active, i can use my UK license.
Its only $25 to change to an Aus one and no test needed.
