    This car has been my daily driver for the past 3 years.
    It always got anything it needed, regardless of cost.
    Original, unmodified car, minded like a baby and never abused. Mature owner.
    Smoke-free, pet-free!
    I have a large folder of receipts for all the work carried out on the car over the years by previous owners and myself.
    Car spent most of it's life in South Dublin, with service history from Murphy & Gunn and Joe Duffy.


    Original BMW manuals, service book, old NCT certs showing mileage, tax discs etc. all present.
    Interior seats, headlining, boot area are in immaculate condition.
    Outside is very good, some small age related marks. No rust.


    During my ownership:
    New BMW AGM Battery - fitted and coded by Conlons Limerick
    Rocker cover gasket
    Replaced broken cup holder
    New mats
    Tailgate Washer fixed
    Wiper linkage done
    Index 11 injectors fitted
    Coolant thermostat & flush
    Lambda sensor
    New wipers and Cabin Pollen Filters replaced recently
    Oil service carried out in June at 127k miles.
    Clutch, Brakes and gearbox all excellent


    CD, radio, mirrors, windows and all controls etc. all working as they should.
    Very comfortable car to drive. Great seats


    Good points:
    Very comfortable car
    Interior Immaculate
    Bodywork and Alloys excellent
    Overall condition - one of the best 2007 5 series Tourings in the country
    New NCT until July 2021.
    Suspension tight and solid - car has had an easy life.


    Bad points:
    Small scuff on the arch side of the plastic bumper at the back - nothing major
    Very slight misfire that I can detect intermittently.
    It's quite subtle, so I haven't been able to nail it down. Doesn't throw a code
    Could be a coil pack or plug starting to wear - the N53s can be fond of them.

    **Update - I brought the car to John Roche in Gort who worked his magic. I haven't
    felt it since, in over 6 weeks of driving**


    Very sad to see this car go, but new commute means I am upgrading to a F11.

    Would like to see it go to someone on the Forum who will get a few more years of enjoyment out of it.


    VIN **********CJ99006 if you want to check the specs

    Car can be seen in Dooradoyle, Limerick, just off the M7.
