Up for sale is my Metallic Oxford Green facelift 2001 BMW E39 530i.

Regretful sale, only selling as we have too many cars already and one has to go.

I have had this car for 2 years and have found it amazing to drive as a daily to and from work on the freeway.

Within 2 years I have put 50,000km on the clock but which has been respectively serviced every 8-10,000km using Castrol/Penrite BMW approved oils.
It has been filled up with only Shell V Power or BP Ultimate.
The car has been looked after well, always garaged and washed every fortnight.

The exterior could do with a detail, but the paint work looks amazing when washed. There's paint cracking on the front bumper near the foglight but have been quoted $250 to respray the full bumper.
The car got keyed along the right side doors while parked in town and would require attention although it's not really deep.
There's a really small tiny dint near the fuel tank lid which was there when I purchased the car.

Interior has been fairly looked after aside from the usual wear and tear of the seats. Buttons all work, no cracks.

I purchased genuine 18" staggered m-parallel wheels powder coated in metallic black and lowered the car professionally on BC BR coilovers which has been on for roughly 6 months.

It also has a grom audio letting you listen to music via USB, aux, ipod.

Have recently replaced the alternator, new battery, and also the pulleys & belts.

The cluster pixels ribbon needs replacing and the boot cable need resoldering as the latch won't open.

Apart from the minor issues, the car has been a great daily drive to work and town for the 2 years I've had it. No issues and all. Still drives solid and no signs of weakness.

Great daily/p-plater car.

Averages 8L/100km on freeway & 10L/km around town.

Has rego until 2015. Buyer supplies rwc, should easily pass..

Comes with stock suspension, wheels and chrome door trims.

I can do $8,500 with 16" wheels with achillies atr sport tires.

Otherwise, $10,500 NEGOTIABLE as is.

Just sold wife's E39 530i Highline 3 weeks ago on carsales. Had 3 buyers vying for it, so they're out there. All the best.

Great handling car. One of the best BMW has made.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
