started looking around and ended up with the 535i, couldn't help it, it has a nice v8 :)

 

Very nice mate, I like Beemers.

Nice car, and reasonable money too!!

 

Like BMW's meself!

Its ok James but whats the latest on the proper car? :rofl: :cool:

535i is a straight-6 mate. :confused:

e28's were - later ones weren't.

That's right - Later (E39) 530 and above are all V8.

 

You'll have to let us know how it pans out James, just the motor I'll be looking for in the not-too-distant to replace me 'ol 525.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what was the damage?

 

CheerZ,

JB.

Apologies, I was thinking of the earlier version. Anyway, nice car, I've got a soft spot for the 5 series.

Very nice, seriously considering an e39 for my daily driver, great cars.

thanks guys. It's a 98 S,140k on the clock, Full bmw service history,new auto box last year, leather, dvd based sat nav from a x5 and all the other toys. Very nice to drive, impressed with the autobox but had to replace the battery today as it wasn't keeping the charge so that makes it £3800 with the cost of the new battery :)

I know it's an old thread but I thought I'd reaply here anyway.

 

Just picked up a late 99 523i se with m5 wheels. 90k on the clock with FSH and tax MOT for another 11 months.

 

Looks like the 300 + 5 series is becoming a trend :)
