Original wheels, lose the spoiler, pedals, and window trims, and this would be lovely.

I think over all out of all the modifications,the alloys are the worst.they make an utterly great looking car look absolutely ste. Always had a soft spot for these but doubt it'd be the car for me.

surely this is a reasonable price for this

only 50k miles and i've seen same year ones go for £10k with over 100k on the clock

wheels definitely let it down, halfrauds finest by the look of them

I think I was snoozing when these became worth no more than a packet of crisps and a cheeky smile.

Wow.

Honestly, apart from the tat, that car looks quite clean in the pics.

I can't believe how cheap some cars are getting now,I've noticed it the past few months,for example have you seen the prices s2000's are going for these days? A lot of nice metal within reach these days

I have to wonder if its a good sign that someone has the money to modify an E39 M5 ontop of running it, as in, maybe it means they serviced it properly, over a standard car that has been used like it was built for but not serviced.

I used to save quite a bit of money buying modified cars, taking the mods off and selling them on ebay, and then selling the car a few months later for more money than I bought it for. Often the service history was packed, with owners using quality branded oil over the bog standard oil that you get from Kevin Coopers for example.
