Description
A rare top of the line 4.8iS. This car was supplied new from BMW's iconic flagship dealer, BMW Park Lane in London's west end.
Being the top of the range model, it has every optional extra conceivable.
Thousands have been spent in my ownership. In the last 12 months it has had:
Full service by BMW independent specialist
Rocket cover gaskets replaced
Front bushes replaced with poly alternatives
New brake pads all round
New Michelin cross climate sport 3 tyres
New propshaft
New offside mirror
Carphonics CarPlay upgrade (CarPlay module installed into OEM TV tuner so CarPlay is now available through the period correct OEM headunit)
New control unit for airbags
New battery
Only outstanding issue is the air con is intermittent. This has been diagnosed as a faulty Final Stage Resistor (aka the hedgehog). I haven't yet got round to replacing that yet.
Car has only been worked on by well respected Indy BMW specialists or by BMW themselves. The car has received high praise from every one that has worked on it. In the words of the service manager at my local BMW dealer, "it's the best example of an E53 I've ever seen"
