Description
2003 BMW 530i Champagne Edition II – Sapphire Black Individual – 75k Miles – Exceptional Example
A rare opportunity to own one of the very limited Champagne Edition II E39s. Finished in Sapphire Black Individual, this edition was limited to just 150 cars, and only a handful remain in this condition today.
This example is in immaculate condition throughout for its age, meticulously maintained, and presents as a genuine collector car.
Key Details
- Registered: 08/ 09/ 2003
- Previously on V5 OWN but now back on original plates KJ53 LGE
- Mileage: 75, 000
- MOT: December 2026
- Previous Owners: 5 including me
- Condition: Outstanding inside, outside, and underneath
Mechanical & Maintenance
- Sump and oil housing gaskets replaced – zero oil leaks
- Full-service history with stamped service book, all invoices, and all 3 keys

- Recent brakes all round
- No corrosion underneath – jacking points and sills extremely clean; treated with Waxoyl as preventative maintenance
- Previous owner stored the car for several years (2016–2022); hence low mileage, used quite regularly and reliably during my ownership but not during salty conditions
Cosmetic & Interior
- Mint Champagne/ Wood interior – incredibly rare and beautifully preserved
- Paintwork immaculate for age – recently completed a full 3‑stage machine polish
- Upgraded Eonon navigation unit (original unit included)
- Original Nokia phone still present
Significant Previous Expenditure
Prior to my ownership, the car received £6, 000 of work at BMR, including:
- Inspection II
- Full gearbox rebuild
- New front and rear bumpers
This is a properly sorted example with major costs already taken care of.
A couple of points to note - there is a small amount of bubbling around fuel cap – quoted ~£200 to rectify and the M Parallels are genuine and original and never refurbished so are showing signs of marks. If I was keeping, I would be addressing both these items.
Why I’m Selling
I bought this car locally from an enthusiast who had spent a small fortune on it, it genuinely pains me to part with this E39. As a limited‑edition car in this condition, it’s incredibly hard to find and absolutely worthy now of classic car show status.
Only selling because I’ve recently purchased a low mileage E39 M5 and also own an F90 M5 and 840ci Sport and don't have garage space to store it. Currently under an outdoor cover.
Genuine enquiries only, I'm not desperate to sell and don't want PX or low offers
