Hi,

Has anyone had much experience of these cars? i quite fancy one but not sure if they have any issues?

I know most people go for the newer shape but i like the older one in black with the parallel alloys

Thanks

Nick

 

You want mine then



Some things to note:
Car is awesome loads of toys
Performance is amazing for the size
Mpg is poor on auto round town
Black on black facelift models are hard to find esp. With the 18 parallels

 

Top motors have'nt heard of any horror stories. Make it's got full service history etc and you should be fine.

 

How much you looking for yours?
Any more details?

Nick

 

Brilliant car mate only things are turbo/swirlflaps/check all gears work such as tip/sports mode etc drop links apart from that there bullet proof iv got one was going for an e60 but my bros got one perfer mine any day lol

 

mine

 

mmm e39s a great looking motor, better than the newer 5s.

 

Not for sale at moment, was gonna replace it with a new focus st but decided a new kitchen was a better idea

 

That's spot on, mine has had all the above sorted. Suspension is all aluminium so drives brilliantly but it is common to replace drop links, rear arms and bushes, weighing 1800kg they do chew through them

 

Gutted, let me know if you change your mind

I'm selling one aswell

Black facelift on parallels.
530d auto. 147k. In really good nick apart from small rear on drivers seat.

Cat d in 2011 due to cracked front bumper

I'd take 1900 for it which is very cheap for a black msport.

 

I love this shape Bm.

Why are they called an E39 why can't they be called mk1 mk2 mk3 and so on lol.

 

Great cars, you won't be disappointed, surprisingly good on fuel for a big car

 

E39 is a classic shape isn't it! I like the 530i petrol sports too, really nice styling even down to the look of the beefy tailpipe. Imola red is a cracking colour on the sport IMO. I nice E39 M5 is gonna be worth a mint in the future.

 

What's the realistic mileage for one of these per tank? Say half motorway and half town?

Thanks

 

already on there way up, only a few years ago there seem to be quite a few around the 4 / 5k mark, now its seems you need 2-3k more just to get a odd interior spec'd high mile one!

 

say on full tank mine gives 220 miles around town but full tank on motorway it gives 600 if you do say 80ish they idell at that lol

 

Round town you get around 26-7 mpg and 42-5 mpg on the motorway.

Tanks big (£90+) and I got to lemans and back approx 800 miles, on 1.5 tanks a couple weeks back
