Nice 530i!
On the subject of E39s, this looks like it could be nice.

Over budget, but what an interesting colour. Could I get away with gold? Probably not. A brave choice to order new! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2015...
I like that colour can't be many about in that r129sl said:
It is 702 smoke silver, isn't it? Common as muck.
I initially thought so, and if anyone should know it's you, but I don't think it is - in some shots the bonnet catches the light in a way that looks like SS, but the rest of the car, and the bonnet in other shots, appears too yellow / warm (even golden!). ETA - and other cars in the background, in silver, suggest the lighting is not producing the golden effect.

Sensors can be bought on ebay for far cheaper than what a dealer charges. Requiring painted ones might be more of a faff, mind.
It's already got one unpainted in the rear bumper. I know you don't have to pay BM price (I think Landie ones fit E46s at least), but it's going to be a loooong time before I'm bothered enough to try and fix them. I never did on my E46...r129sl said:

So we can be sure, can you buy it and park it next to your W124?

That it does, (thought someone should compliment you on the find.) The leather could do with a clean, but otherwise, very nice.O/T, I nearly bought a house boat in the Harts boatyard just upstream from Kingston, nice part of the world.

How come no contrasting Sacco panels? I thought these early R129s were two-tone??louiebaby said:

It's not all glamour in r129 land have water dripping into the boot! Put some vaseline along the underside of the seal however still getting a slight drip in the boot. Not a lot considering the rain we've had but still need to get it stopped. I can't see any drain holes around the boot, am I missing them? I'm thinking I need a new seal around the boot, thoughts from the 129 beards would be appreciated.
Cheers,

Have a look around the petrol filler / round the neck; i've read of leaks from there before. Also around the lights and where they are bolted up. I would be surprised if it was the seal as its quite a deep "channel".Cheers,

Leaky headgasket and ABS light on. Bugger that. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bmw-750-il-individual-to...
Shame, otherwise potentially lovely. SWB would make it close to perfect (and unborked).

Greytastic CLK, but a stonking amount of car for the money.
