THIS… is a 1998 BMW 535i finished in Aspen Silver with a rare Aubergine leather interior and covered little over 121.000 miles

• The E39 5 series is widely regarded by enthusiasts as peak BMW - with its timeless, elegant, yet understated design, extremely comfortable interior and perfectly balanced chassis, it quickly became legendary - and for good reason. They really don’t make them like this anymore, and while the car is 25 years old, it really doesn’t show its age or miles. Everything works as it should and as it did 25 years ago.

• Exterior is also as close to the original as it can be without a full repaint. There are no signs of rust anywhere and the colour looks even better in real life. Great condition all throughout and no dents anywhere

• Car has also recently been serviced and it comes with MOT to October ‘24, no advisories. It’s really in a condition where it can be driven daily and no work is needed on it. The car comes with full service history, with services done mostly at main dealers and BMW Independent Specialists. No expense has been spared in maintaining it as close to original

• The engine is a 3.5l V8 developing 245hp and 345 Nm of torque, that’s extremely smooth when you’re cruising around on a motorway and very lively when you want to have some fun on the back roads. It really does love to turn petrol into sound, without being uncivilised. No modifications have been done to the exhaust or anything else. Coupled to it is a 5 speed ZF automatic gearbox that has recently been serviced and had its oil changed, has no issues changing gears and generally works very well

• Electrics all work, air conditioning is fully functional, the car is extremely comfortable, leather is in extremely good condition and the colour really looks better than pictures can do it justice, cup holders have been replaced, it’s really a wonderful place to do some miles. The car also comes with 3 keys, first aid kit and manuals.

• This will make an enthusiast very happy - V8 BMW’s from this generation are quite rare, so they’re a proper collector’s item, and with prices for E39 M5’s going up, this is an affordable way to enjoy a modern classic. After having previously owned an F10 generation 5 series, I can say the E39 is definitely more fun and it’s just as comfortable. It’s also a lot easier to park, even in an underground car park.

• Yes, there are cheaper E39s out there, however the V8 is a rarer breed and the car has really been exceptionally well maintained. Viewings highly recommended, also happy to provide more pictures or any information.

• Payment by bank transfer only. Open to offers, but not ridiculous offers. Not interested in part exchange, thank you.

• Collection only, as car can be driven away

• Viewings can be arranged by phone/whatsapp.
