True Story... But in my defense I get to drive awesome BMW's (my 1st passion in life) and even after maintaining them, they don't cost me a thing :)

Wow, just got home from collecting the car. I can't explain what good condition the car is in.

I remember seeing the e39 at the bmw pavilion in 96 and lusting after it as a 16 year old.

Now 18 years later, I have one and I swear it's like brand new. So stoked

Is it the M52B28 or M52B28tu? Either way they are great engines. Not much power at high RPM but it makes such a lovely noise. :praise:

Congrats on a great car. i think pics are definitely needed ;)

yeah the m5 as a daily is probably not a good idea..

the 528i.. now thats will work nicely. my previous e39 525i (similiar power as 528) served me good for 4yrs and +-85000km.... and she was driven HARD and throttled/strangled/excercised DAILY. strong cars :)

It will be the M52B28 single vanos, the TU version was manufactured around 1999 iirc. M50 manifold swap will sort that out...

I have the Z4m for my thrills. This car is all about freeway cruising and chilling, and it does the job so well.

That said I got from noordhoek to the airport this morning in 19 minutes :D
