Picked up this BMW E39 530d se a few weeks ago. It has the m-sport suspension. Well chuffed with it. Its a y -plate that has done 114K miles and runs sweet as a dime

So far it I have done as follows:

Re-spray (bonnet, wings and boot lid due to stone chips and slight rust on wings)
Wheels powder coated
Air con recharge
Swirl flap blanks
Angel Eyes LED upgrade
Silvertec indicator bulbs
New front and rear badges
new wheel centre badges
Carbon Fibre vinyl (To cover the wood trim)
Interior and numberplate LED's
Door Mirrors (Glass only as was de laminating)
Parking Sensor
Rear Upper control Arm
Rear bottom bush
Rear Brake Pipes

Got it back on the road today and gave it a was and polish. A not to shabby family car for me, the wife and the new baby and in total it has only cost me £3200

and to show the shine thanks to autosmart wax

People need to stop buying these

Very nice, but, as I said before, dark colours look lost without the MSport kit

Missus Dad has a 528i Sport with all the M goodies, even with 155k on the clock it's a fantastic car!

He gets an average of 32.2MPG out of his as well
