Description

2 owners and just 76k miles from new, a handsome V8 E39 in blue over cream.

DEPOSIT TAKEN - SIMILAR REQUIRED /// Please get in contact if you are thinking of selling a similar classic or sports car.

EQUIPMENT
Biarritz Blue Metallic paintwork, Sand Beige Montana leather upholstery, 5-Speed Steptronic transmission, 17-inch ‘Star Spoke 49’ alloy wheels, Electrically-adjustable Comfort seats, Lumbar support, Driver’s seat memory, Electrically-adjustable steering column, Model designation delete, Auto-dimming mirrors, Graduated tint windscreen, Rear parking sensors (PDC), Cruise control, BMW Business radio, HiFi loudspeaker system, 6 CD changer, Automatic air conditioning, On-board computer, Front fog lights, BMW toolkit, Spare keys.

EXTERIOR
This lovely V8 example has been in the hands of only two careful owners from new. Quite remarkably the paintwork is all original with no previous repairs; it’s free of rust in all the usual E39 weak spots and there are no major defects to report. All the plastic trims around the car remain in excellent condition and the aluminium strips around the bumpers and windows are first-rate. Being an original paint example there are of course a few stone chips to the leading edge of the bonnet and front wings only evidencing the car’s honesty further. The original supplying dealer number plates are retained.

INTERIOR
The condition of the interior is excellent. The steering wheel, centre console, dashboard and door cards are in beautiful condition. The fully electric comfort seats are extremely well presented with only a small amount of creasing on the driver’s side worthy of note. The complementing cream carpets are unmarked all round having always been protected by the original navy BMW-supplied overmats. The boot area is also very clean, still housing the rubber luggage straps and BMW toolkit.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
At the heart of the 540i is the 4. 4-litre M62 V8 producing an impressive 282hp. In the hands of only two owners from new this example has always been maintained to good standard and as such the car runs beautifully. The engine bay is in immaculate condition with no damage to any of the components or signs of previous poor repair. The last service was only recently carried out in January 2024 at the current mileage of 76k.

HISTORY FILE
This understated V8 E39 was first registered in November 1998. Originally supplied by our local BMW dealer, Barons of Hindhead, the car has now driven just 76, 428 miles in the hands of only two careful owners. Services have been carried out at the following mileages: 13, 951 – 29, 219 – 39, 654 – 46, 098 – 60, 994 – and most recently at 76, 508 miles in January 2024. The History File is complete with a raft of maintenance invoices, the original document pack with all owner’s manuals, the stamped service booklet, the original bill of sale from July 1998, original sales brochures, and a set of spare keys. All in all, a surely unrepeatable E39 in desirable V8 guise, boasting low mileage, all-BMW main dealer history up until recently, and only one former keeper. Freshly MOT’d until February 2025 she’s good to go.
