History/ maintenance (all maintenance listed below has been done in my ownership with invoices to prove, along with invoices from previous owners):
- Full service history
- MOT until March 2026
- MAF sensor
- Genuine BMW breather kit
- Front brake discs and pads
- Front arms
- Rear brake lines (copper)
- Thermostat
- ABS module repair with lifetime warranty
- Genuine BMW chrome front grills (came as a factory option on the V8 models but not on six cylinder models so I purchased these directly from BMW this year)
- Originally a London Park West car used predominantly for ferrying a wealthy family between their houses in London and Kent meaning the majority of the 153, 000 miles covered in its life have been motorway miles
- The only modification is adjustable coilover suspension however the ride remains very comfortable on the standard wheels/ tires, and I can include the original suspension in the sale if you wish to return the car to factory spec
Bad bits:
- 3/ 4 outer sills showing surface rust but they are solid underneath with no holes
- 2/ 4 door handles and the driver’s side mirror could ideally do with painting as they have lacquer peel, but the paintwork on the rest of the car presents well considering its age
- There is a small scuff on the front bumper where another car grazed me whilst parked
- Price is £2750 ono
- Located in Halesowen B63, happy to provide additional photos and info upon requestOverall:
- A very capable modern classic daily driver that has not let me down in my four years of ownership but an impending house move means that I want to reduce my collection, therefore I am not looking for swaps or part ex
- Would continue to serve the next owner well as a daily driver or an excellent weekend car capable of a fun driving experience whilst retaining practicality and usability
- The E39 performs exactly how a five series BMW should: combining the entertaining drive of a nimble three series with the luxury and comfort of a seven series
