BMW 5 series E39

Postby T.N.T on Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:18 am

I just saw a BMW 5 series E39 yesterday. Model year 2000. It was a 535i, 3.5 V8, yes, V8! Silver color, black leather interior. Full options with nav, CD changer, TV, telephone, parking sensors, xenon lights, 'angel eyes', LED rear lights etc. German import, great condition. Its got 74k kms on it. Asking price is 46k AED but I'm sure the dealer will come down to 44k.
My first question, what do you guys think about the deal, worthwhile?
And, I heard that the BMW E39 535i never came here officially, (AGMC etc.) the only models that were available here were 528i and 540i. If true, will there be a problem with spare parts?

Looks like a good deal. Just beware that repair on these babies is expensive.
I would suggest you take it to a mechanic and get it checked up.

There is a Janu motors in Al Qusais (near the Sharjah border) that specializes in BMWs. The owners name is Ali. Take it there and ask him to check it out for you and how much it should be worth. Also ask about repair issues as would know.

Then come back and let us all know :)

I went to them today at about 11:30 a.m and informed them about it. Ali is a good friend of mine because another friend of mine used to own a Z3 and I used to go there very very often. The dealer will allow me to take the car to the garage tomorrow and I will inform you all as soon as I return.
My 4th car is on the way!! :lol: I'm thinking of selling the EVO though.

Well, the car didn't impress me much. I don't feel like buying an import because my mind doesn't let me. Anyone want to buy it? I'll be happy to give you the dealer's number.
