I'd have no problem with an SE auto in an E39 525i.

If it was an E34 then the sweetspot would be a Manual 525i Sport all day long.

Clean E39's with good history becoming very rare, I can see this selling quickly.

My only concern with any UK car of this age would be rust on the underside, corroded brake lines and so on.

I think it's too pricey, it's only an SE and I don't like that spoiler either. Personal opinion but I would prefer if it had a manual gearbox as well (although it not being a sport is much more of a deal breaker for me as they look much sharper in sport spec).

The only way it could justify that price is if it's had the VANOS seals, oil filter housing gasket, rocker cover gasket, cooling system and transmission fluid changed. Some of the suspension bits should have been changed as well - that aluminium suspension can be a bit fragile and parts are not cheap.

nice one JBJ

not an Audi equivalent, but if you're after youngtimer Mercs, MTSV is worth a butchers.
Prices are on the high side, but these are pristine examples - mostly W124/W201s

not too many on the books at the moment, but he has a "coming soon" section also.

Probably much easier (and more profitable) to send one back to the UK sadly, especially now that there's VRT refunds on exports.

Looks like it might be in Ireland or was in Ireland as it was last serviced by Frank Keane.

Don't post in this thread again.

I've deleted a tonne of posts rambling on about how you dislike BMW's. It really doesn't have a place in this thread.

Having been in the market for semi classic bmw recently, an auto wasn't even something I considered and I drive a auto as a daily. Lovely car but it needs to be a manual.

With that mileage that's a bit ott

Unfortunately not, its a 2.0 gt - non turbo. It would be fairly pricey at £1450 I reckon.
