Default 1998 Black e39 540i auto/tip reduced to £1500

I can't be bothered to keep this old beasty any longer , it just doesn't get any use and is a complete waste of money as far as ornaments go . I bought it very cheap at the beginning of the year with a few problems which have all been sorted .
Since buying it it's had :-
a complete service and inspection by a local BMW specialist
new 19" ac schnitzer reps
replacement radiator
black interior door panels with cream inserts
black dashboard to replace the horrid beige(not yet fitted)
heater hedgehog thingamajig
updated sat nav disc
AC schnitzer rep badge and roundels
£450 worth of dls front component speaker upgrade as the standard stuff is complete garbage


The car itself is a 1998 R 540i auto/switch in black metallic with cream manual leather
standard spec includes
comms pack
nav pack
tv tuner
cd multi changer
radio casette
dual climate
electric rear blind
removable towpack


Added extras from one of the previous owners
crystal rear lights
clear side repeaters
led engel eye projector headlights
de chromed kidneys

I have also fitted a few bits to the car recently that can be negotiated into the deal for the right offer , these include
parrot mki9200 Bluetooth with iPod/iPhone integration
genesis high to low audio convertor
custom built double 12" bass box designed to flow through ski hatch
3 alpine digital amps


I had every intention of fitting sport bumpers , coilovers and a better set of rims but i have totally lost interest in cars right now as I'm concentrating on spending time with the family , without going into detail , you never know what's round the corner so make the most of everything while you can.

Obviously the car has a few downsides , the biggest being it's mileage at 160k and without the paper history to prove the things that have been done by maindealers it takes a lot of it's value away. There's a broken fog lamp lense , the aircon needs re gassing , and the windscreen has a crack in it but I will get it done on insurance before it sells. There's a few small marks on the bodywork as you would expect but absolutely no rust anywhere on the car . The interior really could do with a proper valet to get rid of the ground in dirt but it's not ripped or torn anywhere and shows virtually no signs of wear.

Mot till may 2011
Tax till jan 2011

Im Looking for as close to £2000 as possible but am open to sensible offers just to get the thing out of the way .
here are the only pictures i have of it on my laptop , i will ad some more when i get the chance to give it a clean

Cheers fella

Right
Thanks to a complete timewasting messer , I stripped the car out on Saturday ready for them to pick up but as per usual with Internet plastic gangsters they didn't bother turning up !

So the car is now as standard , no parrot , bass box , amps etc etc, £1500 buys it but absofuckinglutely no offers , it owes me more than that .
