Nice colour. And non leather is a plus to me.

indeed it is. Looks like Sage green I think in this daylight pictures

Manual inline six (M54B22 in this case) is as trouble free as it'll get in the facelift E39. Make sure the radiator/tank has been replaced at least once already, if not it's about a decade overdue! Jacking points/sills would be the only other issue that could really cause you trouble in this one. The rest is just normal wear & tear. I still have my parts car although not all that much would be of use in yours.

 

Edit: Looks like it still needs the airbag recall carried out! Get in touch with your local BMW dealer, they'll give you free stuff!

This was actually done just last week

Spent the Easter weekend up in Yorkshire house hunting with @Jessi

we’re certain we’ve found the right place for us and we’re currently in the long and boring paperwork and admin side of things so hopefully things go smoothly 

 

loooooong drive and big garage is a plus 

 

 

the house itself is very lovely too and  I could already feel our job lot of jalopies bringing down the property values 

 

anyway, the E39 covered not far off 600 miles over the weekend absolutely amazingly and I was pleasantly impressed with the 42mpg I was getting, unfortunately because I’m an absolute idiot and the e39s cup holders are for display only I accidentally launched an entire open can of Monster Energy into the passenger seat when I took a corner a bit sharpish on the drive home yesterday and all I had to mop it up was a slightly crumpled McDonalds napkin and a demisting sponge so the wet vac will be coming out when I get a chance

I am, maybe a bit later than originally planned due to unforeseen recent personal commitments but it’s definitely happening

Got to be better than here! In the meantime, fingers crossed your new place goes smoothly.👍

Anyway, back in sunny Hampshire 

a rare instance I get to park my cars together 

Pride of Longbridge next week for the Rover then MOT, I’ve managed to track down a seatbelt so hopefully an advisory free pass this year

Good to read your for sale threads will be considerably more convenient for me.

You know you will need some more weird cars when you relocate.
