It looks great but you could be buying into a massive headache I can't see anyone taking that car with that issue unless it's sold super cheap
If you want a properly sorted car you could buy my old car, my brother brought it from me and has since returned to full time education so doesn't use it.
You won't find another one like it but you'd need to be prepare to part with 6.5k, it won't go for a penny less.

Good spot dave ,didn't even look at the odometer
Nice black one just went up there on dd, but 193k and the lad selling it seems like a bit of a boyo by how the add is written, still worth a call id say
I know the fella selling it, I'm viewing it in the morning and have another one to view tomorrow evening aswell miles are abit high but I dont think that would bother me too much as long as it is well looked after.Quote:

Get it on a lift, check all the suspension bits, a suspension overhaul should be done at a this stage, if it isn't, budget 2.5k
Check the injectors, again, with the low sulphur content in modern diesel it's a function of time before these need to be rebuilt, 1.3k.
Those were my two very big ticket items
This is my old car, it's such a great car. You won't find a cleaner car.

One or the other have failed and was replaced with a used one. But not coded.
That would be the innocent option but if the clocks are changed the mileage is incorrect Afiak putting a lower mileage clock in will give a tamper dot while a higher mileage one won'tQuote:

I thaut it vin and mileage dependant? Both have to match? I know a guy who had a 520i and the speedo wasnt working for a few hundred miles, the tamper lighy came on he had to change the mileage for it to go awayQuote:

I do this for a living guys.
Mileage has nothing to do with this.
It is not a combination of mileage and vin mismatch. Vin number only.
All I am saying is that a tamper dot only shows vin stored in cluster and lm module differs.
Many of those light modules are faulty by now. Not uncommon to see people grabing one from a breaker and stuff it in there. Dont regard a e39 with a tamper dot as having its mileage changed, as this is not true.
Thanks for clearing that up man!
I will give you a messed up example, my own car.Quote:

Vin was changed to match my car. No problem.
Now I sold my M5 cluster to PhilipM5 in Cork last October/November and I put my old clock back. But I did not change the mileage, I put about 30/35k miles between the time I had the M5 clock and the original clock. So my current mileage on the car is 116.000 but the real mileage is around 150.000. I will change it but did not get the chance.
Anyway, my light module shows 800.000Km. It is a bug. Obviously mileage stored in those modules is messed up.
No tamper dot.
But when my light module died 2-3 years ago, right after I fitted a used one, tamper dot came up. So I wrote my car vin and it went away, never to come back.
You can run a diag in my car, you will see the mileage difference. Not an issue.
Obviously when changing modules like that, you should change the mileage to match in all those modules. This is good practice really. I did not get around doing it to my own car yet :huh:

Bad paint at some stage, front and rear doors different colours in both pictures, so its not the light.
That was for sale for a long time in Cavan for around 2k. Don't know what it's like now to be honest.Quote:

if you don't want it with the heritage leather, mirrors and wheels it'd be cheaper.

Just remembered, a friend of mine has an immaculate silver 02 Msport auto with 140k miles. It's spotless, black leather with silver trim, multi function steering wheel, usual bits.
It hasn't been in use since he got a company car and I know it's in for NCT soon. Won't be too cheap but PM me if interested!
Have a deal more or less done on a rustfree 2003 e39
