E39's on tardme

Recommended Posts

hi,

Not sure if this should be in WTB or not...

Im looking to get an e39 530i my main requirements are:

Motorsport

Worldtuner with full 16:9 system (nav to be converted)

Leather would be nice but is proving to be near impossible to find in a msport model

These are the two i have been mainly looking at:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-315970566.htm

The later seems like a better deal but it is in Christchurch (maybe this is why it is cheaper???)

Any advise on what kind of money i should be paying would be great!!!

Also if there is someone in CHCH willing to go have a gork for me once it gets there to see what kinda condition it is in would be awesome! (i don't expect you to do it for free & if all looked well would arrange for an inspection by a mechanic)

As to what you are paying for it, mine which I got about a month or 2 ago is 530, m sport, 55k kms and paid 16k for it. i cant see the links as my school internet blocks trademe haha but just a point of reference. i can refer you to another seller in auckland who i got mine off if you'd like

Take your time look / drive as many as you can the 5 series has taken a big price hit so their are some bargains out their to be had. Try for a late 2003 assembled model with high spec, by then they had sorted most of the bugs out. Also PDC on these can be a God sent as the E39 is not an easy vehicle to see out the back to reverse. As usual get a pre-purchase check over done by a BMW specialist this can save you $$$$$. Best of luck with your search.

Thanks for the advise! your right PDC would be VERY helpful ... my solution was going to be installing a rear camera if i did get one without PDC. Pity i've left the search so close to xmas :(

Matt - you will probably be hard pushed to get a Jap E39 with PDC - I have only seen one Jap Touring with this.

Euro spec (NZ) cars were commonly fitted with.

You are obviously aware of the rear camera option - good alternative. I can help with this too when you do nav conversion
