Description

For sale my beloved BMW E39 530i - owned for 10 years. It was a hard decision to sell it and we will miss it a lot, but it is time to move on. Titan Silver with full black leather interior. 152965 miles covered. MOT until January 2025. Rain sensor, auto headlights, fog lights, automatic air con (still ice cold), front and rear parking sensors, BMW Business radio + USB/SD adapter in glovebox (replacement of original 6 disc changer - included), Isofix on both rear seats, multifunction sport steering wheel. 16 inch original alloys + full size spare in new condition, used only once. Two years old rear all-season Falken AS210 tyres, in great condition. Front tyres need replacement due to age. Wheel alignment checked at every tyre change. Even tread wear across all tyres front ones are 9 years old and still wearing evenly, proving no tracking issues whatsoever. A huge service history file. Original leather binder with all documents, full of invoices including original purchasing invoice and records of almost all work done since new. The condition of the body and interior is very good (I would say excellent considering it is a 24 years old car) - minor rust starting on rear right arch, right sill and top edge of boot lid. Engine and gearbox run very well and smooth (gearbox serviced at 100k miles). Mechanically and electrically everything works as it should (window, locks etc). Two original keys (had a third valet key but never used and misplaced - will try to find it). Never spared any expense required, most repairs done with genuine parts, always serviced before suggested intervals (BMW suggests 2 years interval for LL oil, we serviced it yearly usually with still 3 green lights remaining). Last serviced on Dec 2024, still showing 4 green service lights. Major work done (all invoices available): 2015 - gearbox service at 100k 2017 - new radiator and aftermarket thermostat (due to coolant leak) 2018 - thermostat replaced (OEM part, to fix underheating caused by previous aftermarket part) 2018 - breather pipes replacement (all genuine parts, BMW Indy) 2019 - power steering leak fixed (BMW Indy) 2019 - New water pump and coolant Bad points: Usual small leak from power steering tank Minor engine oil leak Small rust spots in few places - see photos - probably worth addressing if you plan to keep the car long term Few minor scratches (left wing, rear bumper) - see photos
