E39 540I

[Goatboy]

I am going to look at a FSH 99 car with auto Black with leather (champagne). Car has just had disks pad and an oil service at bmw main stealer and comes with a years mot. I am thinking about offering 4.5k but would probably pay up to 5k. Am I mad does that price seem about right? Seems a hell of a lot of car for the money if it is mint as described but it could also be worth about a fiver.

Thanks, Bruce

Sorry 60k with full BMSH.I think its just a standard 540i with the following spec. I get you re the large engines nobody wanting them. I did have a look on autotrader and the stuff at £4200 is mega mileage. I guess the point is that those are not necessarily the price that anything sells at. I'm going in at £4200 .

Spec is below thanks for the help

Black with full cream leather, electric everything, ie: windows / rear sun
shield / mirrors / sun roof / seats / lumbar support...

Also what mileage did the touring have whn you bought it if you don't mind?

Cheap indeed so I stuck to my guns went in at 4k and agreed 4200 in the end. Thanks for the help I had convinced myself that 5k was fair value so I just saved 800 quid. Well thats what I am telling the wife....

Anybody who is after a manual 540i e34 touring keep an eye on the classifieds

I had a 3.8 e34 M5 which was a fabulous car but really quite expensive to run. As much as I love E34's I'm quite looking forward to silly things like the heater and windscreen de mister working better. It is only my station car after all. Thanks again for all the help

Well I got the car on saturday and did a bit of last minute haggling an paid 4k. What can I say its lovely and goes like stink. The bonnet looks like it has been bird poo'd on as there are some marks there but with a bit of lucck cleaning and Zymol that should come out. The only other thing is that the leather Yellow/ cream has a couple of different tones around the place which I am guessing might bbe related to sun bleaching? Not very noticeable tho.
Anyway these are small issues and will post pics soon asnd wil a bit ofg luck this should be cheaper to run than my old barge.
