Hardly. It was only £3800 or so. |
I've been after a 540 manual for a while now but £3.8k seems like an extremely good deal... What was the mileage and condition?

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

That's nothing. You can buy a P plate E38 for £3000
these days. I saw one on the trader and was
shocked.
Recently I bought an R reg 520i with a blown head
gasket for £1100. They're out there!

E38's are now into the £2K arena for the ones wishing to take on the risk, e39 at £3,800 seems outrageous VFM
Good on yer mate!

Ironically, I think the manual 540s are the only ones to have. If you want an auto, just get an E38 version, after all they're cheaper, bigger and better equiped.
