It is a sport (suspension,steering,seats,shadowtrim)- but back in the day bmw didnt put sport bumpers on E39s, msport appeared in 99. Also has facelift lights . Still probably doesnt help.

Didnt realize they have dropped so much - there is alot of 520 junk around the 500 mark - think mine is worth more than those.

Sounds like breaking it or keeping it as a project are the only options these days ?
there is a huge amount of rubbish on the roads i see probably one maybe two at most really tidy e39's a week the rest do be hanging together people just wont put the cash into them , then theres the people that want them but cant justify paying 1200 euro tax on a 1000 euro car

theres very few left out there that are not ruined at this stage but id say your just going to have to drop the price to around 6-700e that should get the phone ringing
