Just picked up my E39 520i SE Touring
Discussion
So I just collected my lovely 2003, Manual E39 520i SE Touring in Titan Silver, long 2 hour drive back, and unfortunately around 2 hours of traffic jams, but it was a great drive and allowed me to get to know the car and the way it drives. Superb comfort and cruising on motorway, lots of toys and full black unmarked leather interior is a great place to be. Not much poke in 1st and 2nd though, but seems once you get rolling it's got some overtaking ability, but not a huge amount! Anyway much quicker than my Kangoo, and I didn't buy it for fast thrills, my 911 Turbo see's to that job nicely. Overall initial impressions, lovely car, great to look at, huge load capacity ( needed for work ) and very comfortable, so very pleased!
I was worried was going to be too long to fit into my parking space, but it sits nicely in front of the Turbo with not much overhang !

thanks, yes it's a very clean car, so I snapped it up, good ones don't seem to wait around long! I am debating whether to put some different alloys on, although very conscious of not making it look like a chav wagon!
MPG back from my trip to collect, with 2 hours traffic jam wasn't great, i used about £20.00 of fuel, 30mpg is what the trip computer said,
I'll keep this thread updated with MPG and some more pics !

No plans to do anything to it, prefer keeping my cars standard, possible back side and rear windwo tints as it's a work car, and maybe a pistonheads sticker somewhere!
Originally I was toying with the idea of slightly lowering, adding some 18 inch black motorsport alloys, but think those thoughts have now passed....

No advisories on the MOT, its been very well looked after and other jobs sorted before I purchased it, hence why i snapped it up!
Nothing planned, although slightly scuffed the front bumper parking it yesterday....DOH! not used to such a huge car....
What's the best way to get light concrete scuff off the painted front bumper, only looks very surface, nothing thats gone into the paint.... bit annoyed with myself, only had it 3 days
