Description

2004 BMW E60 520i SE 2.2 M54 straight-six petrol, 6-speed manual, finished in Olivine Green Metallic with black leather interior and silver dash trims. 106,729 miles, 3 owners from new and MOT until 19th May 2027. The car is no longer in regular use as we've replaced it with another vehicle, so the mileage should remain around this figure. This is an honest description of an old E60 that has been used as a family car. It is cosmetically scruffy and has several known faults, hence the price. Please read the description fully before enquiring. GOOD POINTS: 106,729 miles / 3 owners 2.2 M54 straight-six 6-speed manual MOT until May 2027 Completely standard/unmodified No obvious rust Front & rear parking sensors both work All 4 brake discs and pads replaced approx. 6 months ago Major front suspension refresh approx. 6 months ago - struts, arms, top mounts etc. Springs retained 4 tyres approx. 5 months old Brakes feel excellent Engine starts and runs Gearbox itself works correctly KNOWN MECHANICAL ISSUES: Clutch slips at lower RPM Dual-mass flywheel knocks/rattles when switching engine off - clutch/DMF likely need attention Engine uses oil, although there is no excessive smoke or obvious major oil leak Occasional ignition coil/misfire issue every few months Rear suspension feels tired, although there aren't many loud knocks One wheel/tyre appears to lose air; tyre is relatively new and alloy may be the cause OTHER AGE-RELATED ISSUES: Driver's side rear door handle feels loose but works normally Remote locking only works from close range and works best when pointed towards rear window Rear glass rubber seal is very perished Centre screen has a line of dead pixels BODYWORK/INTERIOR: Bodywork is scruffy: faded/discoloured bonnet, misaligned and scratched bumpers, large scratch through to primer on boot lid and slightly foggy headlights. Wheels have kerb marks and some paint peeling. Interior is tired from family use. Worn black leather, driver's bolster nearly cracked, scratched trim/switches, scruffy carpet, no original mats and missing cupholder trim. Very basic SE specification: manual seats, standard halogen lights, no heated seats etc. Being sold as an honest, cheap 6-cylinder manual E60 for someone who wants a project/driver or knows these cars. No modifications and no attempt to hide the faults. Viewing and inspection welcome.
