Description

Open to offers: Selling my BMW 520d exactly as it sits because I cannot afford to fix the mechanical issues. The car starts, runs, and drives completely fine and smooth around town, but it has two known faults that need addressing:Intermittent Transmission Fault: When driving at steady motorway speeds, the car will occasionally throw a "Transmission Fault" warning on the dashboard and lose forward drive (the engine will just rev). Pulling over, turning the engine off, and turning it back on resets the system instantly, and it drives smoothly again. A specialist has advised this is likely a cracked internal mechatronic bridge seal or low gearbox fluid. Engine Oil Leak: There is an active engine oil leak coming from the engine bay. It requires monitoring and topping up occasionally. MOT is valid until [4/12/2026].Mileage is currently [141100].The car has [2] keys. It has a lot of service history, it has had a full service done a month ago, comes with receipts. General bodywork and interior are in good condition for its age (see photos). The car is sold strictly as-is for spares or repairs or if willing to put money in, with all faults clearly disclosed. Because of the intermittent motorway fault, I heavily advise that the buyer brings a trailer or recovers the vehicle, though it can be driven away at the buyer's own risk. It also has just had brand new disc and pads on both rear wheels. It has no warning lights on the dash board.
