Pics not showing (copied from your email inbox) - email to info@kbannon.com I'd be interested but mileage is deterring me tbh. What price are you thinking of? |

Its nice and the VRT is a plus but I'm drawn more to the 525i Sports though (I'm getting very pernickety though, aren't I). |

If you aren't under any particular pressure then there's nothing wrong with holding out for what you want. Just a thought though, if you want a Sport for the handling then there really isn't a huge amount between the Sport and the SE. My sport (pack - with a small s rather than the Sport) has the firmer, lower suspension, 17's, dechromed, etc. and (imho!) looks great but on the road, other than the additional grip of the 17's over 16's, there isn't a huge difference in handling. If anything, this one is a bit more inclined to initial understeer compared to the previous SE. If, on the other hand, the bodykit and visuals are the attraction then hold out for what you want. |

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/1230721 Looks lovely, well spec'd & sensible miles - only blot is it being an auto but the autos on 2.5litre+ 6 pots are lovely to drive all the same.... |

I'm going for the sport for the visuals both inside and outside. As for the one on donedeal - I tried calling them and got no answer. There is another one on there with 10K more miles that I may be meeting with tomorrow. |

K - Not sure if you've checked this one out already? Other than a lack of climate control, it seems to tick a couple of the boxes you have in mind. http://www.carzone.ie/search/BMW/5-Series/525-MANU/201021198 168605/advert?channel=CARS PS - it has the very rare e39 option of a slippy diff, apparently!

I saw that one alright - had planned on checking it out last weekend but missus had other plans for me. I might pop down tomorrow after work. The cream I can live with but would I be happy with the <mode=snob>1980s fan dials</mode=snob>? |

Went down to view it today. Just sold for 8k but the new owner had just returned for a service and seemed quite happy so far. Wheels were nice in 18" (seemed to have been resprayed but since kerbed). Plenty of dings and dents. Black plastic trim along doors seems to have been glued on again but kept my lip bit as I didn't want to start pointing out flaws to the new owner. He had no idea about the LSD or what it did. (What a waste!) Anyhow, nice enough car but I wouldn't have bought it. |

Another one for you, perhaps. Pics not great so can't tell for sure if its as clean as you find like, but spec and price are good if it checks out. http://www.carzone.ie/search/BMW/5-Series/M-Sport/2010271986 77323/advert?channel=CARS An e60 and pricier, but v. well spec'd and price is nice, if its as described. http://www.carzone.ie/search/BMW/5-Series/530-AUTO/201027198 677309/advert?channel=CARS |

Looks a good'un K! Low low miles. Nice! It has different sized number plate mounting points? I thought Irish plates were much the same size as Uk ones? Good luck with it. |

Spotted that car on Carzone this morning an thought about you. Top price for an e39 but spec and mileage is good (don't know if you spotted the xenon's as well - a v nice e39 option given that the std lights are a bit puny). Be aware though, its probably a Jap import. IIRC, the bootlid differenece that Andrew draws attention to above is only available in the US and Japan. To my knowledge other RHD countries in South East Asia, such as Singapore, use the std bootlid as we do. Nothing wrong with a Jap import though, if it all checks out. I know e60 may not be your thing but some attraactive pricing on a few at the moment. http://www.carzone.ie/search/BMW/5-Series/520i-SE-/201032199 176898/advert?channel=CARS http://www.carzone.ie/search/BMW/5-Series/530-AUTO/201032199 142770/advert?channel=CARS

I've shaken on it for 9k. All fluids were being changed when I went in, MAF needs replacing (on order), radio needs to be tuned for European bands, 2nd key being ordered (I do this), toolkit and spare missing - will be replaced from another E39 there, air con to be regassed. It comes with a 3 month warranty (which I will get in writing). No service history available (as its a Jap import) but I was able to see underneath, etc. adn it certainly looks tidy. A few pixels not 100% on the OBC but other than that its perfect (except its silver). It will require a square plate on the back but the plate holder on the front can come off so I can have a proper plate there. Seemingly they are the original tyres but seem fine.Brakes are a bit soft compared to my own but hopefully a fluid change sorts them out. It certainly looks and feels solid. I'll get it checked out by AC but I'm quitely confident that all is well.
