(SOLD) BMW e39 528 1996 $3,900

Recommended Posts

The latest in a series of "e39 rescue" is now available to its next guardian...

I picked this one up just before lockdown as it had a certain style of wheel I thought I needed as a spare set...

Lockdown was very busy in the garage as I "worked from home" :)

This early e39 528 with M52 engine has had a lot of attention and too much $$$ thrown at it in a short space of time...

Everything is now up to date, all working, and is oil and watertight...

As a few highlights... Waterpump, thermostat, front rotors (gen BMW) and pads, rear pads, front brake hoses, new windscreen, windscreen trim and cowl, rear windscreen trim, new console tray and compartment, facelift headlights polished and adjusters replaced, replaced foglight, excellent set of standard wheels with near new tyres,  front sway bar links, rear suspension upper control arms and lower inner bushes, power steer hoses and pipes, fuel filter, window regulator replaced, bonnet/boot struts, cupholders.... The electric rear blind has been replaced and the parcel tray dyed black.

The entire car has had a time consuming paint correction to remove clear coat scratches, along with the dent magician taking care of a few small dents.

The door handles have been painted along with other touch ups around the car.  There is still minor evidence of 24 years or so of life, low on the front and rear bumpers, and on drivers door as examples... but in general the oxford green metallic paint is pretty good...

This car was imported from Japan in 2005 and has had one NZ owner before myself.  The car was fitted in NZ with a widescreen monitor and navigation, the last map update being in 2011, which makes it a bit of fun...  Other features include rain sensitive wipers, fold in mirrors, heated front seats, a quiet working sunroof with clear drains.  241,xxxkm or so.  https://www.mdecoder.com/decode/bv73322

I have decommissioned the intensive washer function, but the headlight washer system has been repaired with a new supply hose.

This car is in excellent all round condition and is "good to go"  The engine is silky smooth and the trans is also good, albeit being a Jatco it has the mandatory "jatco jerk" shifting from 1-2 and 2-3 when cold.  After a few changes it's all good...

Looking for around $3900 or reasonable offers.... "nothing to do"  but of course I cannot offer or imply any sort of guarantee / warranty.  Fresh WOF.
