Off Down South to explore 2 x M3, 1 x 330ci, 1x 530i, hmmm wonder what the end result will be.

Ran a clay bar over the E39 this arvo. Does an amazing job and makes it so much easier to buff/clean!

Hey. Very nice!! I have been watching this for a while. Where are you placed with price? These things are worth top money all day long, the reality being that people don't seem to be paying top money for them.....

I can have a quick look at it for you. But just to give you a basic indication of condition. I'm not taking wheels off etc.

I have a tidy E39 2003 530i for sale.

This one was LHD but was converted to RHD in jap.

Yeah I have looked at this one. But it's super rough and has some issues with the engine at idle. It clearly hasn't been looked after! Btw, if has a two bar!

This had a full mechanical done on it last week and for some reason the guy didn't buy it... The owner told me there was nothing major wrong but...!? I'm looking for an E36 M3 and would rather an NZ new but thought I would get this one checked out. So do you still think this has had a transplant?? I see it was built 96 but first registered 98.....

What's your price range? Year?

What's your price range? Year?

What's your price range? Year?

How much for the Aircon control unit? They are the same as what goes in the E39 aren't they?

As it stood this arvo. Did my weekly clean and waiting on an interested party to buy it.

I just watched this and isn't this the same as pushing your steptronic over to sport mode!!!

Bump.

Hi, are the seats and wheels sold? Richard - 021 620 633

I had a look at this. It's not to bad on the outside but has had a cracked subframe at some stage and has since been repaired. Also it sounded like there was some serious wear in the diff. You may aswell spend another 2-5k and get one that is farrrr tidier!!!

Think "incredibly complex personality"

Did you look at it?

The fact you are asking that question tells me you should probably take a mechanic with you or arrange to have it checked by BM workshop/other bmw specialist. In place of that, there are many good pages that outline what to look for on the E36's in general. Just remember....it is an old car and it WILL have things wrong with it. Don't nail the guy because the centre console is worn etc . Let me know how you go. I am very keen to hear.

Haha, your a bit slow on the uptake Gavin. If this was what I was after I would have already bought it! Its certainly late model and nice! If I were you I would take a look and get an offer in asap. Funny how all the M3's online are automatically asking 20ish K from point of listing. It would seem that the sellers believe the year, K's and quality have no relation to price.........but the fact that not one of them has sold would say the market disagrees...... Best of luck Gavin!

This looks to good to be true and I would almost guarantee that as soon as you email them they will tell you there is "a lot of interest and you are more than welcome to get car checked out bit if you want it then it's best you pay a deposit and then I will hold it for you" I could be wrong but it sounds like the same add I read time and time again when I was living in the Uk and bought cars.....

I went down the road of looking for an M5 and looked at this one. It's actually in quite good condition and the current owner is a really good guy who has looked after it....history wise...who knows?? I completely agree that the E39 M5 is one of and IMO the best saloon. But they are also money suckers and for this reason personally have resorted to the M3. But I'm fortunate to have had a good E 39 530i which by the way is for sale..... I'll tell you what though, that blue M5 that was online a few weeks ago.....WHAT A CAR!!!

Don't worry about Blue 540i, he's a bit special! I think is car may have fallen of the jack stands while he was working on it....... But their is some sense it what he's saying....somewhere... I too am looking for what you are after and it is a situation where people are sitting on them for now. Just hold out and you will find one. I know a guy who picked up an Avus blue one in October of this year. Good luck!

All fixed. It was DESA valve. Easy fix and car runs even better !!! Ges these cars are good!
