warrenp 6 Report post Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Hi folks, I'm selling my e39 530i Touring with 163K on the clock. Mechanically in good order. I can honestly say the body is in above average condition compared to every other e39 I've seen. Motor and transmission are smooth and silky. Had regular oil and filter changes ahead of recommended schedule. Video of running engine and a short drive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_tcXiPwBQI https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=2188542959 Reserve at $4,500.

Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted June 11, 2019 I did look at this briefly but to be honest the idea of doing the boot struts put me right off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ones that open the glass- which is what Gaz is thinking of- are trivial. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warrenp 6 Report post Posted June 14, 2019 Okay guys. Feedback taken. I've ordered all four struts from Schmiedmann.com and the car will come with a tailgate and glass door that will for many years not land on your head. Also will have a new 6 month warranted 850cca battery. I can't think of anything else the car is missing or wanting now. Also will put a new radio antenna on the roof as apparently the existing one was had it (I never listen to radio so never knew). All this for 4,500. Fair price? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
