Default Hows this for a crimbo prezzie to myself.......

Bought myself the most expensive prezzie I have ever bought at Christmas yesterday and brought it home - absolutely amazing and I am totally delighted with it







Superb piece of kit and reminds me just why the E39 is the best BMW

Absolutely amazed with it - drives as new and was an absolute pleasure to buy a car that the seller was totally honest and genuine

Its not an M5 tho - 540i Sport Auto with a few little extras such as SMG steering wheel

Missis - Pah, you underestimate me

Nothing missing from the front - its been colourcoded so it looks slightly different and more subtle but its all there

Got rid of the diesel one as I needed a truck to shift building materials and stuff about, now thats done I have reverted back to comfort crusing

A few snaps of the interior - Loads of toys







Super comfort - Couldn't be happier with it - The autobox is an absolute dream to drive with aswell, never thought I would like an automatic, but I love it

Baba - Pretty much so, a few extra HP and a manual box in the M5 and slightly different seats, but essentially its all there

E39 FAG. On a serious note, that's a nice car. You look after yourself at Christmas, heh.

Money and fair words Radders - Fair enough it was top end price, BUT I honestly believe that it commands that as the motor is simply immaculate

On the other hand it was nowhere near M5 money

Lovely car mate

Always loved these crs since my parents had an E39 when they first came out. Would love a go in an M5 to see what they are like.
