Hello,
For sale is my 1998 (Pre-Vanos) E39 535i V8, with the rare 5 speed Manual Gearbox, finished in the classy Biarritz Blue.
Having been on the look-out for a well-maintained M62 V8 Manual for some time, I jumped at opportunity to acquire this car when it came on the market around 3 months ago.
However, I have recently bought another car, and this combined with the fact that I will be working from home for the foreseeable future with no commute, means I cannot justify keeping this car.
The car has covered 184K miles with only 2 previous owners. It comes with FSH, MOT until August 2021, and has clearly been well maintained. (There are 19 Service Stamps in the Booklet)
There is also a large folder of receipts, showing the extensive maintenance which has been performed on the car over the years.
A summary of the most recent / significant work performed on the car (all with receipts to prove):
- Recent Engine Oil and Filter change (Sep 2020)
- X2 new Avon ZV7 Tyres (Jul 2020)
- New Front & Rear ABS Sensors (Aug 2020)
- Both Rear Shock Absorbers replaced (Jul 2019)
- Front Lower Suspension Arms, Wishbones, Anti-Roll Bar (Sep 2019)
- New Bosch Battery (Jan 2019)
- Rocker Cover Gaskets (Feb 2018)
- Alternator (Feb 2016)
- Starter Motor (Dec 2016)
- Rear roll-bar links (May 2015)
- Coil Pack (May 2015)
- Bonnet Respray (Aug 2015)
- Alternator (Sep 2011)
- Clutch and Flywheel (Feb 2008 – 140k)
Cosmetically the car is generally very clean for its age, although there are a few small patches of surface-level rust emerging as is pictured in the photos.
Points a new owner would want to address:
- The car consumes a very small amount of coolant. Previous owner advised it needs a top-up every 6-800 miles.
- Minor oil leak (likely rear main seal)
£3,500 ONO
