Looking for help on a car a lot of us know.

BMW 530 D m sport - taxed nct
A lot of work went into the car to get it looking like a full msport but the history of the car isn't what a potential buyer would like to see.
It's a stunning looking car, and the friend is keen to have a look but anyone know the full story to this car? Feel free to PM me and thanks in advance.
James
It's been for sale an awful long time, since October if I remember correctly.
Yup it's up ages, not sure was it Oct could be longer.Quote:

If it has a bad past and is on the wrong side of 08 I'd imagine it won't be going anywhere for that money. In saying that it's a smashing car, I love the colour especially with the contrast of the interior. Like you said though you won't really know the story until you've actually looked at it.
The buyer is going from an e39 so wants a pre lci e60 six cyclinder. It does look smashing and agreed it's the contrast that makes it stand out.Quote:

They don't want any potential chain issues (rare I know in the 530d), I'll have to check again I thought it had the newer box but was reg'd on Feb 2007. Thought it was April onwards for LCI?Quote:

Thanks for the info I wasn't sure.Quote:

Yeah it is an SE though so these might have been all added more recently when the bumpers and skirts were? Not sure but it was reg'd March so maybe it is LCI.Quote:

On the pre-LCI they are distributed right across the dash, depending on the goodies fitted in a single row.
FWIW, on the LCI, the way to tell if a car has ventilated leather is to look for a stack of 3 buttons on either side of the ashtray.
Will have a look so, more then likely lci as you said but more worried about the cars hidden past potentially............. Thanks :)Quote:
