    Avus Blue E39 525d

    I bought this car on Feb 17th 2012 with 77k on it.

    If this car doesn't move within the next three weeks I'll keep it for another while.

    This is the thread

    Mileage: 122500 miles.
    Tax: expires end of feb
    NCT: booked in for sunday 22nd
    Previous owners: I'm the only Irish owner, 2 previous uk owners.
    Price: €6500 Firm

    I understand that this is the most expensive diesel E39 for sale at the moment but I would challenge anyone to find one in similar condition, with similar extras for less. Between mods and maintenance, excluding the purchase of this car, I have spent in excess of €12,000. I have receipts for it all.

    All 4 keys are present, 2 main keys, a valet key and a plastic key.

    Front Tyres are Eagle F1's, rears Are PS3's plenty of life left on all, I'll take a reading with a tread depth gauge when I get the car back.

    I know I can't talk because I did the same thing but speaking from experience don't do it.

    But for anyone interested, this is definitely one of the last truly sorted and well minded e39s left in this country.
    Seriously nice car.

    Your mad but GLWS, if your don't change your mind

    Yeah, I'm an emotional roller coaster now . Let's hope I don't regret this.
