jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted August 1, 2014 ^ this. E39 549s are amazing cars but can be expensive. No matter how competent a DIYer you are it's worth spending more to get a well cared for example. It'll save you money in the long run!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charles28 136 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 Well.. i ended up buying a 2002 530i Motorsport in Silver with NZ Navigation etc and get it tomorrow. Its got enough power, a good upgrade from the 525i. It looked like my pockets were not going to be deep enough for a 540i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1662 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 Sure maintenance and fuel costs are a bit a higher but a non-vanos 540i is quite a reliable car, too bad there isn't many msport versions around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
