Description

BMW 530i Sport, finished in Black Sapphire metallic with black leather interior and black headlining – in our opinion, the best colour combination for this model.

The vehicle has had only 1 previous keeper
(1st keeper: 2002–2017 / current keeper: 2017–2026).

The current keeper purchased the car as an investment and has dried stored it for the past 9 years. During his ownership, the vehicle has covered only 9, 000 miles.

The car is completely rust-free, both inside and out.

The bodywork condition is excellent. If you are expecting absolute showroom condition, please refer to the last three photos where we have highlighted minor areas where cosmetic improvement could be made.

The interior is very clean and tidy. The leather has no tears, stains, or odours. The windscreen is free from damage.

The vehicle drives exceptionally well and feels comparable to a modern car. It pulls strongly, sounds fantastic, and the gearbox operates smoothly. In both manual and sport modes, the car performs very well. Specification: Black Metallic paint, Black leather interior, dual climate control, cruise control, 17" twin spoke BMW alloy wheels, sunroof, towbar, glove box torch, 6 CD multi changer, Xtrons Apple Carpay, electric windows, electric mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, fog lights, rear spoiler lip, Sport front bumper, Sport side skirts, multi-functional steering wheel.

Please contact us if you have any questions. In my personal opinion, the BMW E39 looks its absolute best finished in Black, especially paired with a Black leather interior. It’s a timeless and elegant combination that truly suits the character of the car.

This vehicle was originally purchased as an investment asset. However, due to changing circumstances, I have made the difficult decision to part with it.

It has been dry-stored for the past 10 years and remains completely rust-free, with bodywork presented in stunning condition. The car has had just one previous keeper for the first 15 years, and the current owner has cherished it for the last 9 years. It genuinely feels as though it has been preserved in a time capsule.

Even by today’s standards, this car remains incredibly capable and engaging to drive. The engine pulls beautifully all the way to 6, 000 rpm and never fails to put a smile on your face. It still attracts plenty of attention on the road — a true modern classic.

The only upgrade fitted is an Xtrons head unit, installed purely so I could enjoy my own music while driving through the countryside. The original head unit is included with the vehicle and will come with the sale.

The car is also equipped with a sunroof, a lovely feature on sunny days. The rear windows have intentionally been left untinted to preserve the car’s original and authentic appearance.
