I'm not usually a big BMW fan, but that is lush and priced sensibly too.

 

These earlier ones with 528i engines seem to be more robust than the later 530's. If it was closer (as in within 1 mile of my house) I'd be tempted to stash it.

There was a time when every factory would have something like this , usually sharing a garage with a Land Rover fire engine. Of course that wS when we had factories.

"It is what it isn't'

 

But only until October, when it will start not being what it is. or perhaps being what it was all along.

IIRC, these , in exactly that spec were hailed as the best car in the world by the press at the time.

1998, do you think in 10 years time folk will be taking these to classic car shows?

Comes with the most informative description ever...

 

 

This is my companies Redundant Lexus IS200 Sportcross. It starts and runs well and is MOTd until February 2017.

 

And that's it.

Covered 175,000 miles and MOT history that shows it could need alot done or it's had alot done...

 

I'd give it a pop at it's price, £1,049.

Take a goodnight luck underneath if you do. They can rusty as hell. Not so much the is300 for some reason though.

Too much doors though. Looks like a car for grown-ups.

I'd rather have the £750 BMW 528i manual from earlier.

That E39 looks excellent value. E39s are not my thing but I can recognise an excellent deal (and a competent car).

 

If it's had any kind of maintenance regime applied to it it'll keep on going, too.

This era of BMW was the penultimate before things started going a bit 'wanker chariot' (copyright RBJ). It's a phase BMs have to go through.

I still regret not buying that debadged E60 540 estate Warren T Claim's family were selling well below book.

 

A cheap BMW that can get out of its own way, eh? Whod've thought it?

Usually at that money they're tarted up heaps with the smallest engine bought by 'champagne taste, lemonade money' types who want the badge above all and would have been better off getting a reasonably engined Mondeo and the cheaper running costs associated with it.
