E39 540i Manual

[JohnH]

I don’t know why I do this to myself, always wanting cars that aren’t available or trying to sell cars that nobody is interested in

Nevertheless... I’m looking for an e39 540i (ideally manual) and ideally not needing a ton of work. Willing to spend up to 10k for a well sorted example, which I believe is very generous as any more than that and I could be in a much younger / very nice car.

Anything out there....?

Have you looked at any of the Japanese auctions?
