	its been a while since i posted on here i have now taken in another e39 after my 1998 528ise overheating issuse got worse then the mot was due so i decided to park it up and search the net for another one.I came across a ebay advert for a 1999 523ise it had a buy it now for £450 so i messaged the seller about the car it had a overheating problem which had been dealt with 167000 miles and 7 months mot said he take £350 for it,well i thought just with the 7 months mot got to be worth that so took the gamble and got the train to derby when i arrived the car looked okay it had rear bumper damaged so i checked the boot floor the rear panel was pushed in slightly,so the seller wanted £350 a deal was struck got the car for £300 and a replacement rear bumper heres pics when it was advertised on ebay over the past few months ive done work on the car it had a slight oil leak which was a rocker cover gasket,as i work in a bodyshop i pulled out the rear panel,bought some m5 replica wheels and refurbished the wheels,swapped the cloth interior for leather,there is other jobs i like to do like a full respray but everyone keeps reminding me its a £300 car run it into the ground are they right or wrong opinions please? heres how she looks now marc 1999 523ise 1998 528ise

	I love these cars, I bought my first e39 a few months ago on 197k, was a poverty spec 520se, but even on galactic mileage it drove awesome, no noise at all on the motorway, and it never put a foot wrong. My grandad owns it now but I keep borrowing it Looks good on the M5 rims

	Great cars, had a 528i 6-7 years ago, loved it and still miss it now.The look off disgust on kids in hot hatches when these old barges leave them standing is awesome.

	Great cars, I've got a mint low mileage one that I've had the last 18 months and never puts a foot wrong......... it's quite a long way from standard now though!
