Description

BMW 535i V8 E39 Auto
Metallic Red with beige full leather
Very nice for year with bur walnut trim
Engine is very smooth and gearbox changes well
No signs of rust one patch repaired on the sill
M steering wheel
Paint is good with minimal damage
1998
7 previous keepers
16 inch alloy wheels
I have replaced the rocker covers as they had a leak resulting in oil on the lower part of the engine, both headlight adjusters needed rebuilding which I have done, both anti roll bars replaced, rear hand brake adjusted and works fine, intake manifold gaskets replaced, crank case breather replaced, idle control valve replaced, viscous fan replaced, thermostat replaced, spark plugs replaced.
I have done all the failure items and it’s nearly ready for an mot the only thing to look at is if the car is left running it starts to overheat this could be an air lock or something else but with all the new parts I would say it should be a straight forward repair.
No mot due to failing on the following
Nearside & Offside headlight aims - rectified
N/ s anti roll bar links dust cover- replaced
Emissions failed , rectified
N/ s park brake - rectified

Very clean for its age, please ask any questions that I have not answered above but no time wasters please
Has service history with the vehicle, engine chains are good and quiet.

No time to finish due to other commitments.

Will need to be trailered away from Hemel Hempstead .
Thanks
