Description
Blue over Tan and wood trim in "retired individual" SE spec, you know, way less to go wrong. I've got a thing for fast estates so had to answer the call of a nice smooth E61 barge since I missed the E30 touring I'd had.
Really glad I'd found this mechanically sound car as it has wafted us around with that reassuringly large chunk of torque from the M57 engine. It does have few age related marks (see photos) plus some hazing and touch-ins around the rear left wheel arch.
It's a 3 previous owner car that comes with two keys and a big folder of past work including a stamped service history up to 95k miles. Since then some highlights of work that E61 aficionado will appreciate have included swirl flap delete, rear drive shaft input seal, glow plugs and glow plug module, and a DPF clean at Feather Diesel Halifax to give another 100k miles of fuss free filtering. On top of that, some new front shocks and 4 tyres to keep it riding smooth and quiet.
We were due to keep this one for a long time, which is why I did things like the DPF clean, but we've gone EV for our long distance machine since the opportunity to pick up something with free charging for life came up.
It also had a gearbox service at 99k miles but I hadn't found that out till after I'd bought the service kit, so I'm including it in the sale. I've given it a fresh service and MOT so you can walk out to it on a morning and know it's going to waft you around as a good 5 series should.
