‘Old blue ‘ M5 E39

[dedoo7 14]

There’s been a few E39’s posted up for sale lately in various colours and more importantly condition . Pricing varied and the example at Archibald’s in ChCh just recently sold and boomeranged its way back to Whangarei .
So with this said I thought I’d do a show n tell on my example .

  I’ve owned the car twice . I should have never sold it some 13 years earlier , but I got a knock to the head and went down the Porsche route for many years . Anyway coming to my senses I had the opportunity several years ago to purchase ‘ol blue back.

I’m really a purist at heart however the car has morphed into essentially what is a NZ version of a Dinan stage 2 car . 
To the uninitiated it looks stock which I really like . It performs very well , sounds epic and has been maintained to a very high standard . Mileage is circa 117,000 kms from new . 
It’s an NZ new car , built April 2002 and delivered through McMillans in July same year . 
Cheers .

Nice to see it grace the pages of Bimmersport, AB! You and AW were the ones who inspired my passion for this car! I know photos don’t really show how good your vehicle really is. A testament to your fanaticism! Rock star colour too!

Absolute beauty! Definitely one of (if not) the best in the country for sure.
