Description

A beautiful example of an extremely low mileage classic, rust-free E39 540i SE with exceptional service history and great bodywork. Having just had a MOT and Oil Service.
The beautiful M62 Engine has only covered 35702 Miles (57458 km) since leaving the factory.
It was imported to the UK from Japan in 2016 with 9800 miles on the clock by Hexagon Classics. It was then purchased and kept within the family for both of its UK owners.

The car is packed with extras, such as EDC, full electric windows, Electric Sunroof, electric memory leather seats that are also heated, electrically adjustable steering wheel. The decoded VIN number, which shows all the options is listed below.
The car is completely stock and hasn’t had any modifications since arriving from Japan. The car has never been smoked in. Comes with four good tyres and a Spare.

An issue worth highlighting to the buyer is that the Multimedia Screen do not work, along with the FM radio having very bad performance. This was never fixed as we never thought it was much of an issue, as it was a distraction from the V8 sound. This gives the buyer the option to fix and keep original or install an aftermarket head unit, of which there are many.
Additionally, the Key fob will not remotely open the car and must be used in the physical locks to unlock the doors and boot. The fob has worked in the past but performance slow degraded to the point it no longer worked. This may be easy to fix but have never investigated doing so.

The car comes with a ring binder of service invoices for all services and repairs carried out along with the original BMW service book. All of the original import certificates are included as provided by Hexagon when purchased.

Private Registration can be included in the Sale if the buyer is interested.
