Link not working but I'm guessing its the '03 540 in Wickla? If so, looks like a nice car but its a bit leggy for my liking. There was another '00 (IIRC) recently on there for buttons but absolute poverty spec for a 540, e.g. std cloth seats, etc. If there was a history to back it up though, and you transferred some toys from your own car then it might be interesting. It seems to be gone now though. |

Yeah - the 540i. Probably too thirsty for commuting around Dublin and IIRC the steering isn't as good as smaller E39s |

Do all irish E39s have yelow indicators? In the UK the facelift cars have clear indicators. I've been thinking about an E39 530, again. May well go for an auto though as decent manuals are harder to find. |

No - the earlier ones after the facelift had different lights to the pre facelift but then they seem to have had another rework to all clears.

Took this girl for a spin tonight. Nice enough - seems quite clean. Imported from UK in Dec 2007.
He is looking for €6,400. What do you think? |

Looks good to me. Assuming the mileage isn't an issue for you (not sure whether you plan on keeping this as long as the current one), then the couple of cosmetic issues are no major concerns at that price level. You should know your way around these well enough to spot trouble. Did you get the UK reg info? If so, do a HPI just to be sure. To sort out your MP3 prob, try one of these. Mine arrived today, so if you give me a couple of days I can let you know that it works, but it allows ipod/mp3 connectivity as well as doing the Bluetooth thing. http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/10109.h tml |

Literally just back in from picking it up from the installer. At first glance it seems to have 2 or 3 types of jack, USB, Ipod, line, etc. Away tomorrow but will report back in more detail Friday when I get a chance to have a proper look.

Killian, Not sure if this is of any use but im doing a bit of work on a 01 525i M sport at the moment. Its a black manual example, im fitting a 28k mile engine (verifiable with history) and i will be selling it in a few weeks time. It is black with grey leather, standard sport wheels, fairly high spec, has the M5 high gloss trim,electric seats, mfsw, etc. 113k miles. Will be on sale for 4250ono with a fresh NCT (none at present so will test it - not sure if it will get 2 yrs.)

K If you find one in the UK that you want looked at ....just ask. Same offer as always, fly in, I'll take you there if you prefer. I've only had mine a week, it's possibly a bit older than you want, but so far I'm very impressed. I wouldn't worry about fuel ( I can't do anything about Irish road tax of course), according to the data on autotrader, there isn't much difference between the 2.0, 2.2, 2.5 in both guises, 2.8 & 3.0. So far my obc says 31.7, it was on 21.9 when I bought it (I zero'd it), the owner for the last 7 years had only covered 11,000 miles, so I guess it hadn't been out of town much. |
