More commonly known as the E39 5 series, BMW’s fourth generation luxury saloon is very much the physical embodiment of the word timeless. Joji Nagashima’s rather excellent exterior design, paired with BMW quality and luxury meant that upon launch in 1996, the all new 5 series was an unsurprising success.
In more recent years, E39s have been gaining great levels of traction with those appreciative of modern classics and quality BMWs. Their brilliant driving quality and wonderful design meant that good examples have been being picked up left right and centre at an incredible rate. Which makes cars like the example we see here something of a rarity, and one that presents an incredibly exciting opportunity for someone who wishes to dip their foot into the world of BMWs and the E39.
Presented in a rare green colour scheme and packing an impressive 4.4 litre V8 engine this 1998 model is the incredibly sought after 540i variant of the E39. Having been under the same loving ownership since 2004 it comes to us in good honest highly original form and will undoubtedly make a welcome addition to the driveway of any avid BMW enthusiast.
For one who wants a daily driver with an essence of uniqueness, look no further. For one who wants a rather special, timeless modern classic, look no further. For one who is looking to make their way into an excellent quality collectors BMW, look no further. The E39 5 Series is undoubtedly a great car, pairing solid reliability with impeccable, elegant styling, the model is definitely up there with the all time greats of the BMW lineup.
The example we see here really is ready to be enjoyed from minute one of ownership. In a rare colour scheme with the highly desirable 4.4 litre V8 engine nestled at the front end, this high specification 540i certainly isn't one to miss.
