Default E39 540i Sport, 6 speed manual - Massive spec!

My car is up for sale folks, see the auction below if you would be so kind

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=280917417838


The big brake kit has been removed and reverted back to standard sized brakes - this will be kept for my next car or sold separately

Everything else is as described in the auction

Cheers Mark

It's one of 2 choices next - Either get back in to off-roading with a nice defender OR keep the comfortable cruising and find a nice 330CI Clubsport - not really sure at the moment :/

At least I don't have to worry about commuting to work anymore as I only live 15 mins drive from work now

Knowing Paul and knowing the cars he has had and how genuine he is....i would say that buy it now price is exactly what he wants....and its worth every single penny of it.

Just look at the write up and even search on here about the car....you will see how he looks after them. I would buy a car from Paul without even seeing it, he is that honest IMHO

Cheers for that Mark - I always look at it from the sellers point of view when advertising a car - I want to know everything before I go to look at it and when I get there if things aren't as described I'm disappointed at best!

Just a shame I couldn't get round to getting the paint bubbling sorted before I put it up for sale - A good friend was supposed to do it and repaint the front bumper too but each time we arranged a weekend over the last 8 months, typically something else came up :/

I knew it was a lot of car for the money, but reading the advert I didn't realise just how much car it really was.

Sure it'll sell no bother to the first genuine viewer.


Cheers,
Grant

Some great cars on here for sale right now this being one of them.
I remember the LPG conversion write up on here and the care you took to do it.
I'm sure this will sell quick,I'd have fancied a swap on my saph cos if it was ready etc blah blah blah.
It's due to be finished by the end of the year...
The year 2015 at this rate!!!!

Great advert and a brilliant spec'd car.
You do realise that once this has gone everything else will seem like a poverty spec model, slow and uninteresting.
