There are two very nice 540i msports on gumtree in London atm but they are coming in at 7k and 8k landed respectively which is almost M5 money
Not the most desirable e39 540i SE, but it looks like a very clean car, even the seats seem to be in very good nick.
This is the non VANOS engine too. The M62 is quiet rock solid. Few known issues, nothing serious compared to a N62.
