Run about E39

KM79 · 08-28-2014, 03:29 PM

Oh well sad watching my 335i drive away the other day but new owner was very happy with his new purchase.Ordered an F32 435D and it doesn't land til late October so needed a BMW fix in between..!
Built like a tank and pulls like a train..an e39 528i always wanted one and for well under a grand a bargain.Every extra and still no rattles even at 200K miles lol

Nice lol....that has a nice shine to it still!

& the F32, wow! Pics soon as

Digitalize · 08-28-2014, 03:38 PM

Possibly the best made BMW ever, just hope it doesn't make your F32 feel a bit cheap!

The old E39 a good old beast can't go wrong and if bought right you can buy run sell on with no financial loss or even a gain.....

And before you drive off check the roof as you've left something in it

Josh1a1h · 08-28-2014, 03:51 PM

Nice Buy!!!

Congrats on the new 435d purchase too!

Russbmw · 08-28-2014, 03:53 PM

I used to love my e39 528, it was the longest time I've ever owned the same car. Not a sport but was an individual in glacier green with aubergene leather. Lowered, trim replaced, audio replaced, lights upgraded, aero front lip, black grilles, several wheel changes, rebored throttle body and larger inlet manifold, remapped and good for about 235bhp.

Took her to the Ring a couple of times as well. Lovely car. Miss it to be honest.

Cheers chaps,been faultless for £500.Spent a Saturday hitting it with the DA and the Oxford green came up nice.Sorely tempted to tinker with it but going to save the dough to glam up the new car!
Russ that looks a beast.

KM79 · 08-28-2014, 04:10 PM

Paint came up nice.
Work's Audi in front and the 335 behind was a busy driveway that day!

Russbmw · 08-28-2014, 04:18 PM

I've still got some spare e39 bits in the shed (like grilles, new final stage resistor, etc), so give me a shout if you discover anything you need!

I know of someone at work selling an auto E39 540i Touring if anyone is after one!

AdamC · 08-29-2014, 04:58 AM

Can't complain for £500! Looks very nice.

Cheers,yeah it's a really a lot of car for not much more than I was paying a month for my e92!

dobbo99 · 08-29-2014, 06:39 AM

ive been looking at these, i need to free up the cash in my current car, and I want something with a bit of kudos to get to work and drop the kid off. a 530 seems to fit the bill. the fact there is so many still about is testament to the quality of the build.

KM79 · 08-29-2014, 06:52 AM

This car has got probably more extras than my e92 had and cost me 15year old Fiesta money.530i would be even better as they where the later ones.

Emeye · 08-29-2014, 02:41 PM

I had one of the rare manual 530i Sports a while back. Great car.
