Looking for E46 and E39 owners
Discussion
Afternoon all, like the post says, I’m looking to speak to members who own an E39 5 Series and/or an E46 3 Series.
In my past motoring history I owned more than a few of both models and I’m in the process of writing a series of articles about my motoring journey.
I want to write about my experience owning three E39s and two E46s.
Ideally I’m looking to speak to a member who owns a silver or Topaz blue, facelifted 530i E39 saloon in M-Sport specification with a black leather interior with M-parallel 18in alloys. I appreciate that’s quite specific so if you are happy to help and have a car close to that, I’d very much like to chat.
Thinking then about the 3 Series, I’m looking for a member who owns a black, pre-facelift E46 saloon. The criteria for that one is a bit looser, if you have a black pre-facelift E46 I’d be grateful for a chat.
I’m looking to write two, possibly three articles for my personal web page, the focus of which is my experience in owning these cars when I did and a take on your experience in running them today. I would like to take photographs of the cars to use alongside the articles. The articles are not commercial, I have not been commissioned.
Clearly I’d get the coffees and pay for any fuel expenses - I’m based in the Midlands and so the nearer the better!
I’m keen to have some discussions and see if anyone can help once the unfortunate situation we’re all in now resolves.
Cheers

My advice would be to join/ask on the relevant E46 and E39 Facebook groups and the BMW 5 Forums too..In my past motoring history I owned more than a few of both models and I’m in the process of writing a series of articles about my motoring journey.

And careful, the E39 came in SE or Sport ONLY, never an M-Sport unless you were N. America
There's a lot out there that will correct you on this haha 
Thank you, that’s very kind. The E39 group on Facebook have been very helpful, I’ve made a few contacts to speak to when this lockdown business is over. No uptake in te E46 group as yet, so yes please - if you have a black E46 and you’re happy to help, let’s get in touch, I’ll send you a PM.
