Gaz 1042 Report post Posted January 15, 2015 After driving my brothers e60 525 around over new years, I remembered how much I liked the 5 series however it definitely needs a v8. V8 e60s are still out of my price range but found this http://www.trademe.co.nz/828872438 What are peoples thoughts on price? Doesnt have a towbar however thats more of a nice to have rather than a necessity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charles28 117 Report post Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) The price seems ok to me, facelift, Motorsport Kit, 540i, its the model to get. Hopefully its got some service history, you would want to check it out well too. Edited January 15, 2015 by Charles32 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreakMyWindow 1870 Report post Posted January 15, 2015 Looks like it has genuine e39 wheels too. I'm sure it won't be without it's problems at that price though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 1042 Report post Posted January 15, 2015 I'm heading down to Dunedin in a week so thought I might drop in see it. He says he has serviced regularly but I guess a check up will reveal all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3568 Report post Posted January 16, 2015 looks like an awesome car for the price if it checks out. certainly has all the boxes ticked. black, msport, facelift, nice wheels, leather interior, widescreen tv unit, msport steering wheel, and most importantly v8. kms getting a bit up there but what do u expect. its 14 years old now haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonesrp 63 Report post Posted January 16, 2015 I`ve been looking at these as well and let`s face it, petrol is getting cheaper. However most of the e39 540`s on Trademe have been on there for months. I`ll bet you could burgle a good one for a lot less than the Ashburton car, that`s just the way the market views them unfortunately.At those prices I`m worried I`ll have a few too many one night and hit the `Buy now` button, then wake up the next morning realising that i`ve got one E39 too many.... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjs 60 Report post Posted January 17, 2015 To me it seems like a lot of money for a 14 year old jap import with 180kms... At the end of the day, its worth whatever you feel comfortable paying Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
