Rob's E39 530d - RIP

[DieselFan]

Congrats on the purchase .

Are the e39s the same as the e46 in terms of the motor? 135kw and 150kw?

No, the e39 does about 140kw.

Depends on the year model. Early models were 140kW and later models 160kW IIRC.

You remind me of AdiS. He bought my e46 330i.
Congratulations. Awesome car. :thumbs:

I was just about to say - the narrative of buying the car blind and then it turning out better than expected was exactly how it happened for me!

Congrats Rob! It's awesome car. My dad has owned one since 2001.

Thanks AdiS... I actually read your thread again the other day and while writing this I actually remembered your thread and figured mine would be kinda similar :rollsmile:
