edo - remind me to call upon you when buying time comes!

You always seem to find some absolute cracking bargains, that 330ci you spotted for £6,999 the other day looked mint!

After haggling this is £1k over budget - can you stretch to £11k?

Munich Legends have a very good reputation and I very much doubt they would sell anything ropey.

59,860 miles £11,495

BMW E39 M5
Immaculate BMW M5, E39 model in Silverstone blue with rare black heritage leather interior. This beautiful M5 has well below average mileage, covering just 59,860 miles since the car was first registered in May 1999.
This BMW M5 has been carefully maintained by all four previous owners, and boasts a full service history with extensive accompanying documentation. The car is well known to Munich Legends.
The E39 M5 really is all things to all drivers. Arguably the best of the M5 generations, the E39 can be transformed from a comfortable luxury family saloon to a fire breathing V8 monster with a quick burst of the fly-by-wire throttle. With huge torque, blistering acceleration and genuinely stunning cornering ability, the 400 horse power E39 M5 richly deserves its place in the automotive hall of fame.
The excellent equipment levels on the E39 M5 make driving and living with the car easier than any other car in its class (if such a thing exists). This model specification includes heated electric memory seats, PDC rear, electric rear window blinds, satellite navigation, TV, logic 7 hifi and much more.

A choice motor.

Would try and hold out for a V8S but might struggle to remain within budget.

Wow, that's stunning IMO. I also like the fact it has the rare split seat option so it makes it even more usable if you want to chuck in your bike etc

The Op mentioned that he might be interested in an E39 540i, I have the Sport version and can only recommend it highly. I bought it in October and have since put over 4,000 miles on it - 2,000 in a week over Christmas into Southern France. Hasn't missed a beat, is comfortable, quick, effortless but also sporty when you want it to be. It likes a drink, currently I'm averaging 23.9 MPG in my ownership but that's because I live in central London - on the motorway I can get around 29 MPG and still get into the fast lane.

This full Spec, FSH 545i SE looks nice. Seems to have been for sale for a little while now, so I'm sure an offer would be considered.

XJ8 / R are fantastic cars and will serve you well. BWM and mercs very nice but personally I think the Jags look and feel better. I also would suggest you consider an Audi s6 or s8. I just picked up a smoker s8 over the weekend to replace a Jag. Better on some ways, worse in others but great car based on a whole 6 days ownership!
