The BMW E39 is widely regarded as one of BMW’s finest designs. With exceptionally low mileage, originality, and extensive maintenance, this car is a true modern classic and a strong investment.
Reluctant sale due to permanent relocation. I bought this E39 because it represents everything that made BMW great in the late 1990s: timeless design, exceptional build quality, and a level of refinement that modern cars often lack. It was a dream car of my younger years, and owning it has been just as special as I always imagined.
The BMW E39 is now enjoying a strong resurgence in popularity, becoming increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate its design, engineering, and driving experience. This example perfectly shows why the E39 is so highly regarded.
What makes this car truly stand out is its exceptionally low mileage, full service history from day one, and originality. It has never been modified or altered and has been carefully maintained with preventative servicing using original BMW parts. It still feels tight, smooth, and solid — exactly how an E39 should.
The car spent most of its life in the same family, which clearly shows in how well it has been cared for. The interior remains in excellent condition, the leather is clean and unworn, and everything works as intended. The engine and automatic gearbox are smooth and refined, making it equally enjoyable for relaxed cruising or long journeys.
My favourite thing about this car is the way it drives: calm, confident, and beautifully balanced. It feels like a proper luxury sports saloon, not a modern gadget-filled car. It’s a car you can genuinely enjoy driving while knowing you’re also owning something that is becoming increasingly rare.
With its condition, mileage, and history, this E39 is not only a pleasure to own but also a genuine modern classic and a strong long-term investment. I am only selling it due to a permanent relocation
