BMW 540i E39

Hi,

I was thinking about having a look over this: http://tinyurl.com/4o6tfku

If anybody's had one of these, can you share your experiences? Good or bad! It'll end up being the 2nd car - already have a small auto that's mainly used for getting around town, so it won't be doing too many kms. What's the real world fuel consumption like?

Cheers!
Frank.

Hi Frank,

Like any car of that age, I would strongly getting an independant inspection done prior to bidding.

BMW's, Audi's, Merc's etc are not cheap to service. Things to check out are that the major servicing has been done by the book, as engine rebuilts are expensive :-)

I always wonder why they are being sold on ebay, not carsales, or another place... As usual, buyer beware!
