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.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
