Looking for a clean, straight E39 for daily driver duty, preferably M Sport in touring or saloon form.
Will consider any engine & fuel type, but nothing that needs work done - must be road-ready.
FSH or obvious "BMW enthusiast" care and attention essential.
What's your budget?
Ones that come road ready and in good condition are getting hard to come by, so they'll be priced a bit higher than the average E39 on Done Deal or similar.
My budget would be €1200-2000 for a "Done Deal" car, and up to around twice that, so €2400-4000 for the right car. At the top end of that budget it'd need to be something very nice.Quote:

The M Sport would be nice, but I'll consider regular non-M's in good nick.
A 4k e39 will still likely need money spent on itQuote:

You should have no issue finding a tidy e39 at the higher end of your budget
Sport Tourings are scarce extremely scarce so uk is probably the only option for them
Have you an engine in mind ? Diesel petrol i6 v8 manual auto
Actually there is one e39 which id buy at the moment its the only one thats caught my eye lately il dig out a link

Not suprised it was a lovely car low mileage great engine and good colour combo wonder what it went for he was accepting 2750 on it a while ago
It was for sale a while as the ad was bumped a bit on donedeal
Nice 525i sport http://cars.donedeal.ie/view/7296707
530d sport http://cars.donedeal.ie/view/7233088
Both of those - the 525i and 530d - look pretty sweet.
I'm looking at preferably 2.5L or under for somewhat reasonable tax.
I don't mind so much auto vs manual, nor diesel vs petrol, maybe the running costs on a 525d might be a bit more bearable, but I don't want to get into diesel false economy thinking.
Any thoughts on these two?

You realise road tax is trivial when it comes to the upkeep of these cars right?
