I would tell you to think very carefully about buying a V8 E39. 540i's are not quite as bad as an M5 but they're pretty damn close.

You won't buy one that doesn't need work for 10k.

You'll probably need to import one and VRT is about €3k so you're looking for a £6k 540i.

I think that car would be worth looking at. There's no mention of anything outside of regular maintenance so budget about €5k a year tackling issues keeping it in reasonable condition. That's a €13k - €14k car registered.

Tackle a few small issues and I would say it could turn into a €20k car, very very quickly.
