e39 523i

hey lads
looking to move on my e39.
have had it for 8 years now and have gotten my value from it.


http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/...psbc212bd3.png

1998 car with 2 owners including myself and 230k miles. (first 130k were uk motorway miles).
First owner had bmw fit an msport kit to it in early 2000's - i don't believe the msport was available as an option in 1998.

has all the tasty bits:

H&R springs
Supersport shocks
B&M Racing short shift kit
german plates and surrounds
very good condition staggered 18" type 37 m parallels, brand new rear rubber - new'ish fronts
excellent condition manual grey sport leather.
Black Mats
Rear cup holder delete
New front cup holders
Illuminated gear knob
Chrome dial rings
LED interior lights
10W angel eye leds
HID dips
Philips extreme vision heads
Shadowline trim
fresh suspension arms
etc etc

major bad point is seems to be down on compression on one cylinder.
as yet undiagnosed, but suspect a valve problem.
May have access to a second hand head if anyone has the appetite to keep her on the road. may be more suitable as a doner car or for export.
tax out - nct due

looking for 1500, will most likely break if no interest at this price.

cheers, bambo

Glws such a nice car!! Did u decide what's gonna replace it yet or ya gonna use the 2002 for a while??

Excellent value right there, if I had the cash, that'd be mine.

driving the 2002 as a daily at the moment alright mick. rolling resto!
loving it, should have the wheels back from gar this week, will send you a pic.
will probably drive it for the summer and think about something else for the winter when the weather turns bad.

Good stuff looking forward to seeing the wheels on!! Is it getting a tap of the lowering stick??

You're dead right Andy - it certainly is!
I still refer to it as am '02 though to save confusion!!
Still haven't gotten around to getting a thread up, am busy getting it ready for a wedding in 2 weeks - it will be in good shape for that hopefuly.

Cheers Ketron,
Everyone's entitled to their opinion - the good news Valdas is if you think it's too dear you don't have to buy it!
Wheels, bumpers and interior are worth the asking price alone imo.
If you want to make an offer for what you think it's worth pm me. I'll discount the 100 euro you charged me for the shadowline trim off it if you want it at the asking price :tounge:

Yes it worth to brake for U ,but not for somebody to buy and brake.grey leather ? It's not so easy to brake them these days.complete running cars cost from 1k € oem sport models .mileage willput lot people off,to fix engine or replace will be about 1k € ,so at the end of the day it's no good. But it's your choice ,glws

OP if you want this tidied up, Shoot me a PM.

I stand by my statement. Jesus you'll but another 523i SE running for about €500 as a donor engine worst case, break it and you'll have the donor car paid for.

I'll send over an offer via pm if it doesnt go in a few weeks.

few interior shots:

also, have a good engine from a 328 that can be included in the deal for another 150 euro.
genuine roof rack available too with new (unopened) locking screw and key set - 120 euro extra.

c'mon lads - someone save her!!
