2003 BMW (E39) 530I M SPORT

KEY FACTS

• A lesser seen ‘Champagne Edition II’ example of the refined modern classic saloon, presented in smart overall condition and boasting a particularly handsome interior.
• Under the bonnet sits a 3.0-litre straight-six engine producing 228bhp, which drives the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission.
• The odometer displays a very reasonable 66,146 miles, and the car is offered with a solid maintenance history.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Created to mark the end of the E39-generation 5-Series’ production, the ‘Champagne Edition II’ was a particularly well-equipped example of the renowned executive saloon.
• As seen in this example, each car was a ‘Sport’ model, finished with Metallic Black paintwork and riding on a set of 18-inch ‘Style 37’ alloy wheels.
• Inside, the cabin is appropriately trimmed in Champagne Nappa leather, which extends to the sides of the centre console and the door pulls, while maple wood trim features throughout.
• This vehicle comes equipped with front and rear parking sensors, a full screen factory navigation system, climate control, cruise control, and automatic headlights.
• This vehicle comes with the original book pack, a stamped service history book, and two remote keys and an emergency key.

CONDITION

• There is no known body damage.
• The vendor describes the paintwork as being in very good condition with only minor blemishes. There are some light scratches by the boot badge and some light marks on the bumpers. There is also a small mark above the rear left wheel arch.
• There is a small dent on the left side of the bonnet and some of the rubber surrounds around the windscreen have perished.
• Inside, the leather has benefits from recently being recolonised and is presented in very smart condition. The buttons show little sign of wear, and the digital dashboard display has had its missing pixels repaired.
• There is some light creasing on the seat bolsters.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 24 December 2020 at 64,497 miles, which it passed with two advisories for a worn offside rear tyre and a corroded brake pipe.
