For sale
2006 (55) BMW E60 530i SE. (N52, Euro 4)
Low mileage of 76k miles (76260 and counting) 2 previous long term owners (I am the second).
MoT due in December (I'll get it booked in shortly, I don't envisage any issues)
Excellent Mechanical Condition, some
Cosmetic blemishes commensurate with age.
Service History was missing when I bought it, so I wrote to BMW UK to get a list of dealer visits. These all correspond with twice-annual visits including such things as winter checks as well as routine servicing for the cars first 55k miles.
Since purchasing the car I have used a local Specialist for any repairs and maintenance with mid interval oil and filter changes done myself as additional maintenance.
Major jobs done in my ownership
-Gearbox service carried out at 55k
-electric water pump, thermostat and hose replaced around 60k as a preventative measure.
-Oil filter housing and cooler gaskets, Vanos Solenoids, Sump Gasket and rear main seal replaced at 68k ish
-Brake servo replaced at 75k.
All parts used were BMW or equivalent OEM.
Car is an SE, so fairly basic spec. Some nice options including-
Dynamic Xenon headlights with auto dipped beam.
Split/Folding rear seats
Heated Front seats
Pro Nav (big screen)
In my ownership (since 2022 at 55k miles), I have upgraded the wheels from the original 17 inch wheels with run flats to the 18 inch Style 124's on non Run Flat Goodyear Eagle tyres. A space saver spare is in the boot having adapted the boot liner to make it fit.
I have also replaced the original anthracite SE cloth seats and doorcards with black Dakota leather M sport items, retaining all of the original functionality (Heated fronts/ Split/Folding rears).
The car has been a joy to own, both for commuting, and long distance travel. It's been to France for family holidays and performed flawlessly each time.
Reluctant sale of a very nice car. Reasonable offers will be entertained, no 'last price' or groups of viewers please.
