As you will know this is the unicorn of the E39 series with the exception of a similar era M5. The car has always been maintained and mechanically overhauled as required and is an absolute joy to drive. Some say its the thinking man's M5 ;-)
An appreciating classic which needs the new owner to spend a bit of time and money on cosmetics to make it 100%
I have been as honest as possible but please feel free to come and view the car located in Stevenage, Herts.
