MISS BM 712 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) After much deliberation and time spent on the thinking train, I have decided to offer my much loved E39 up for sale.. Why? Well 2 potential reasons: - After having a taste of the 540i, I would like to either upgrade to the M62TUB44 + Motorsport OR - At this stage, another car (BMW of course) has stolen my 'heart' and I feel extremely inclined to purchase her... I am making a great loss on the car, as I have spent a lot of time, money and effort into getting her running the way she always should of, as most of you will have followed her progress. All the hard yards, and big things have been done, and there is really nothing left to do on her.. She runs really well for her age, starts first time, cruises happily and can give you a few G forces when you ask her to open up. 1997, 175,000kms All the bells and Whistles (Rear blind, Rain Sensing, Headlight Washers, Cruise Control, Traction Control, Dampening Control, Heated Seats, Steering wheel adjustment, leather interior, steering wheel controls, 6 CD changer, Nav System, OBC etc etc) Washed, Waxed and Polished on a regular basis, and the interior is cleaned and conditioned weekly. I am an extremely pedantic owner, so rest assured this car is in fantastic condition. Despite having a towbar, only been used to tow twice, with both loads being under 1500kg, and on open road (100km speeds) WOF until August So the list of work that has been done (repair, and preventative maintenance included) - Cam Sensor Replacement - Fuel Pump replacement - Torque Converter Recond - Transmission Service - Speed Sensor replacement - Ignition Switch Replacement - New rear tyres All the above are things that generally fail at this age/km so she should be sweet and sound for many thousands of KM's to come. She will have a fresh service before heading off. I am still unsure how much to ask at this stage - But I would like offers around the $6500 mark (I am in no way making any money on this car) Oh and if you want a horse, I have two for sale too: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=713321661&ed=true http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/equestrian/horses-ponies/horses/auction-713014776.htm Edit: Added another horse for sale Edited April 2, 2014 by Amber-Leigh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MISS BM 712 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Does the horse come with it? I think I could work in a special offer You never know, she could even add another horsepower to your total.. Or kick the crap out of your car in the attempt to place her fine build quality to the engine.. Could always tie her to the front for those heavy loads to help 'pull'....

But all in the pipelines until I can sell my car.. I think the kick would get him from here to China on a cheap one way fare Edit. Fare. Not fair.

MISS BM 712 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 I can offer interest, but sadly that's about it. In this case, I will consider the 'thought that counts' and thank you for that haha. She will go up on Trade Me tonight, so will hopefully expect the interest from there. Feel sorry for my mate, hijacked his trade me account with a holden, horse and now a BMW...
