BACKGROUND

I've had this car for the last 3 years and has not missed a beat! I drive like a granny, guess that's what happens when you are in your 30s! :-)

I live in Zetland, work in the city so I barely drive the car Monday to Fridays. The car is parked on the street, so it normally dirty (and sorta goes with the matte black look!) and I've done only 21,000km since I bought it 3 years ago. 

The car has 138,900km on the body and around 38,900km on the engine. 

Not encumbered, no accidents, and welcome any inspections. I've just had the pink slip done and rego is paid till April 2017.

THE GOOD

The previous owner was a WRC nut and built the car to suit his liking, he even put in a fully functional ROOF SCOOP (great for the hot days! or when you want to put the windows up and still have a breeze) and also makes this car quite unique to all the other WRX's on the market. It also comes with 18 inch gold Oz Racing wheels.

THE BEAUTIFUL

When I bought it, I was told it had the following mods (I haven't added any mods over the last 3 years, I like driving, not so much into mods):

MSR forged pistons
Argo rods
MSR ported heads
264 Kelford cams
EL headers
Cusco Rear diff
Blouch 2.5 XTR Turbo
Air-to-Water cooled

Pioneer Head unit with bluetooth & MP3 (FHX755BT)
Comes with Tactrix dongle and OBD Bluetooth adaptor so you can connect to your phone using OBDII.
Three gauges on the dash
Boost gauge

I have been told it's producing around 280kw at the wheels, however I've never tested the limits, never tracked the car so I would have no idea if it it's that high or not. Given the mods, it was surprisingly economical on fuel. I do about 350km from 45L of fuel, not bad for city driving!

You do get the odd looks from people on the street, however I have never been pulled over in 3 years and everything looks stock standard including the engine bay. A real sleeper :)

THE UGLY

A few things to note if you want to view the car (I rather you know now than not!):
- Not sure if Air-con is working or not, previous owner said it needed to be re-gassed and I've just lived without it.
- No radio - due to the Matte Black vinyl wrap.
- Window tint on the rear window is starting to bubble up.
- The plastic near the Subaru badge has a small dent, I think it was from a twig on a windy day!! lol

THE PRICE

I've priced the car to sell, don't miss out if you are interested! You can call or SMS and feel free to throw in some offers. For any low offers, I'll just laugh and ignore it but thumbs up for the entertainment value :)

THE REASON

If I sell the car, I am looking to buy my friend's car that's newer, but I will miss the beastliness/rawness of this car :(

    • A quick google, and some E39 users have found pulling my sensor out/apart and cleaning it alleviates their issue. Then get the oil warning to go off, and once it is off (from the sensor saying it was unhappy) some find they can just unplug it and it is happy to just keep going now. Maybe give it a crack? If you can actually pull the sensor apart, hit it with some electrical contact cleaner.
    • Yep. In the E39 it's slightly different than the others. Honestly I'd just leave it but every time I drive the car it tells me oil is low and that just makes me check the dipstick. It is a BMW Afterall and it tries to expel it's own oil regularly.  Thankfully it's not like my E90 that has no dipstick at all so you just gotta trust it. 
    • Was that also a typo? $350?! Just typing "BMW oil level sensor" and prices start out a lot more sanely than $350. I'm guessing it's a sensor used in one low volume model only or something?
    • They kept the product number the same, so we "didn't pick it up when packing your order". If you packed the order, you clearly saw the box wasn't Hella...
    • Actually, the equivalent skyline part is both cheaper and simpler, maybe you should come back from the dark side?
