What were the results of the check up Logan?
-
Looks waaaaaaay better with the wheels back to how they should be. Like the wood tone contrast on the interior. Were the lights re-clear coated or just restored? Heard opinions both ways...
-
Right - so load-through = flatter seat!
-
Wow - that is in impressive original condition!!!! Picture drive by for posterity ....
-
Does look v tidy - GLWS Charl!
-
Looks great
-
According to @BreakMyWindow this is an member's car . ... and it does look very nice in anthracite. 2000 - with 145KMs on it and asking price of $28K ONO. Seems reasonable. Love the 2-tone leather interior.

I don't what the story is - seems almost random. Here's a 2000 with the flatter seat design: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1259032804.htm but some later (2002) cars like this http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1266480856.htm still have the bulge! Must be some explanation ....

@treone can you paste the full spec details in here from http://www.bimmer.work/?

Hey Greg - this is an interesting direction - what's prompting the move to the diesel LCI? Towing? Economy? Don't put petrol into a diesel one of my colleagues did this with his Alfa :\ Doh! I think most well specced E60s have Dynamic Drive - mine does as well as active steering. Hmm - just noticed from the vehicle spec I have the Prof HiFi (Logic 7 setup) which explains why the sound system is so good. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the audio in my X5.

If I was getting an E39 of any type I'd want a later model one with the flatter rear seat back - the older ones like this have the big bulge in the middle which would be uncomfortable for person #5 (and I have 5 people in the family). It's one thing I like about the E60 - rear seat is good for three. When I too k a mid-2000s Audi S4 for a spin I was grinning - then sat in the middle of the back seat and it was an immediate 'no way' - damned uncomfortable!!!

Crazy stuff!

OEM Bluetooth installed by someone like EuroSurgeon is pushing towards $1K from memory - I make do with a unit that clips on the visor - and I can switch it between my 545i and X5 that way too

Need some pics!
-
Wow - very tidy and well cared for - a good buy for somebody! GLWS Andrew. I've added the pics for ya

It is tidy, but does seem pricey. Suspect prices have bottomed out and good examples will appreciate. Looking over at the UK - beaut condition E39 M5 152K miles = £8K - so maybe not? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2000-BMW-M5-E39-Avus-Blue-/302219283652 If you look at old W210 E55s they have bottomed out at ~$8K - would like to think M5s won't go that low ....
-
Me for one! Epic. My 545i is good - but the M5 is on a different level.
-
Just serviced the X5 - 2 new front tyres (275/40x20) plus MBI claim excess x 2 (Replace both front lower brake reaction rod arms & transmission main oil seal leak). Every time I go 'M5!!!!' I pay a bill or 3 on my current fleet and go 'hmmm' that could have been upgrade money :\

#Stillconflicted Glad you enjoyed your run in it today Greg There'll be a gap when it's gone!
-
Just looked at the other thread and old TradeMe listing - here's the 'before' picture of the seats... dramatic change for sure. Do like E36 M3s ....
-
E39 540i Msport, sunroof + leather + BBS $3.9k ONO *make an offer! *

It's a beaut - nice wheels! GLWS -
Suspect you may have an appreciating classic now
-
Being a noob around M3 prices - is $18K too much, or too little?
