I would love to own one again some day but probably wont happen as the good ones are just getting harder and harder to find and the rest are just rubbish now.

 

You can have your one back soon if you want. I've done the vanos for you.

Its too bad pre-facelift 540i sport models are so rare. Yeah sure you can make one from parts but it would be nice to be able to chuck on the facelift headlights and enjoy a simple V8 without all the crappy TU "features"

@Eagle that wouldn’t be your E39 for sale on TM would it?

Will be driving through Sanson in a few hours. Hmmmm, wonder if the yard will be open ?

@treone I’m going through on Sunday. Hoping it will be closed! ?

Yeah will truly be for sale in a month but had to re-list to keep my listing from expiring

@Eagle making room for a new Bimmer? Good luck with the sale!

Fortunately dealership was closed at 8pm haha. Sard was locked up but s pied it at the back. Seemed to be a good looking cosmetic example. Well from a distance, and in fading light  the front quarter did ☺️

 I still remember Mike Hosking driving an immaculate example in Imola red / black leather in the early 00's.

Stunning car - I'd see it regularly pottering around Newmarket / Parnell..

Wonder where that car is today.

The early 00's seem like yesterday to me - it's extraordinary that we have moved on nearly 20 years. Despite not being a M car, these cars still ooze so much cool. Just like the E34 540is and the E34 535is before them.

So, it seems someone picked this up cheap, drove it for a month, and is now selling it for almost double what they paid for it. Good luck to them

Yep that’s common.

Those city slickers... always curbing their wheels...

But hey, for reassurance he says he would drive it to South Island. Must be a good car.

Got to love facebook marketplace.
