No longer need need Bmw E39 530i Touring

have you looked on the facebook E39 groups?

keep looking. awesome cars apart from the rust, and the FB groups seem to be full of people who think they are worth 10k. 4k should get a good one if you can find it

I think the costs vary as it's becoming clear that cheap 'mint' ones are never mint. They can take £'000s to get right as well if you want them to be decent. If you are paying a garage, that rate will go up. I suspect this is where the 'dreamers' come from.

I'm currently witnessing this on a certain car at the moment a friend owns, and maybe even one car of my own! It's worth seeing how much M539 Restorations on YouTube spent on his 750iL. It's quite surprising. Not everyone wants to roll around in a tired old girl on ditchfinders and a worn interior and then claim it's mint .

parts seem remarkably cheap, and most stuff is still on the simple end of the spectrum. Rust is the problem, jacking points will all be rotten
