amdaman 5 Report post Posted December 5, 2020 Let me know if there's any interest, otherwise i'll throw it on TM - only reason for sale is to make way for my F30 and lack of garage space. Up for sale is my trusty E39 2002 530i. This car has served me well and the only reason for its departure is because I need something more fuel efficient now I live up the coast and do a long commute. It's been a joy to drive and is extremely comfortable on long journeys and sat in traffic. I've maintained this car myself to keep her running as she should be, the engine and gearbox are smooth, there are no check engine lights. Some maintenance in the last 10,000kms: - WOF & Rego until September 21 - front end suspenspension refresh (upper & lower control arms + balljoints) - new coolant lines (under the intake manifold) + coolant tank - DISA assembly upgraded (+o rings) so no risk of bolts going into your engine - new gaskets for TB, intake manifold - all new vac lines + CCV - no vac leaks or CEL's - 2x cabin filters - new air filter - new spark plugs - new LED lighting for the running lights - rear control arms just replaced for WOF (nothing else to note) - previous owner did the ABS module - new large battery - cut and polished the bodywork - new tyres all round in the last 5,000ks + alignment - airbag recall check - regassed aircon, blows cold - no dead pixels - towbar (never used) Other stuff: - android touch screen head unit - cruise control - heated leather seats - interior in good condition Not so good stuff: - Minor oil leak, suspect this is from the oil filer housing (will come with a gasket) & the rocker cover. I've attempted to fix the rocker cover many times with numerous gaskets, seals and a new valve cover but it still weeps a bit. I got frustrated and used gasket seal along with the rubber gasket in an attempt to resolve it, but still no luck. I've lived with it for the last 5,000ks, there will be maybe a drip or two after a long journey. - The body work is presentable but not excellent, it came up well with a cut and polish but the previous owner looks to have done a repair on the front bumper. - Common seat adjustment issue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
