    Overview & mechanical

    This car was imported to Ireland in Nov 2010 from Japan by its Irish owners who had resided there. I bought it in late July 2019 (194K kms). The car is mechanically sound. Previous owner addressed key items and I have continued to do so in recent years. In summary during the last 3 years the following work has been completed; all filters, rib, belt, tensioner and idler, oil filter housing gasket, vanos seals and hose (OEM), engine sump gasket, front control arms / bushes (Meyle), transmission oil and filter change, xenon headlight adjusters, breather system replaced. Most recent service at 204Kms.


    There are multiple service stamps from Japan BMW documented in the service book. Since it’s arrival in Ireland the following oil and filter services are recorded; 99,327 ; 112,149 ; 154,945 ; 174,550 ; 187,740 ; 195,560 ; 204,187
    NGK Platinum Spark Plugs (BKR6EQUP 3199) fitted @ 195,560

    Initial services and inspections since importation were carried out by Joe Duffy BMW (99k and 112K) and Motor Confidence (154K). The previous owner then took over servicing and maintenance. Recent oil and filter changes at 195k and 204k by myself and health check by BMW specialist at 202K. Car is running perfectly.


    Interior
    Sitting in this car is a lovely place to be. The black leather interior (with piano black trim) is immaculate and shows little sign of wear. Sport seats, electric and heated, Aircon blowing ice cold. Grom Audio (BT3) Bluetooth kit fitted, providing discreet streaming and hands-free solution without compromising the aesthetics of the interior. Original BMW CD unit with 6 CD cassette - fully functional but not currently in use. The instrument panel was restored to new on 2/08/2021 - so no concerns about pixel failure.

    Includes original toolkit w/ warning triangle & Original First Aid kit, Rechargeable torch

    Exterior
    Presented in Titan silver, which complements the black leather interior with piano black trim, the bodywork is in excellent condition and ageing very well. Some minor touch-ups to stone chips upfront. Under my ownership, the front and rear bumpers have been replaced and minor bodywork / paint corrections made (April 2021). The underbody is very clean also - it is not driven on salted roads and rarely in the wet.


    Minor Additions:
    BMW Aluminium MSport pedals
    BMW E39 CIty Floor mats (Anthracite) [Original velour mats included]
    Grom Audio BT3 Bluetooth kit - handsfree and streaming
    Instrument panel restored to fix Pixel issue (27/08/2021)
    Steering Wheel Trim replaced and new roundels to exterior

    These and other items documented in this thread => http://www.bmwhaus.ie/vbulletin/show...88-My-E39-525i


    No major issues, but close inspection will reveal a very minor ding (2 cent size) on the n/s rear door and a few very minor imperfections around the body - unsurprising for a car of this vintage. I include a spare set of mirrors from an earlier e39 among some other parts. I have a new seal in the parts bin, along with spare mats, new centre caps, and other miscellaneous bits and pieces.

    This e39 is ready for a new custodian to enjoy, taxed and NCT’d until next spring.


    Thanks for looking/reading.
