2000 W E39 BMW 523i SPECIAL EQUIPMENT 2.5 24V 6CYL AUTOMATIC
Fantastic Condition & History - Show Standard
39000 Miles - 3 Owners From New
Presents As A Virtual New Car
High Factory Specification


The Ultimate Modern Classic
The best of what is left of the E39 cars are slow burbling Modern Classics
and truly excellent prestige overengineered vehicles. Setting this car widely
apart from other E39s is the fact it’s not a flashy model that’s been passed
about half a dozen times and painted as regular as a council corridor. To
the contrary, a tasteful SE model with the silky smooth 6-cylinder engine,
widely regarded as the best 6-cylinder engine ever made by the manufacturer
mated with the excellent automatic gearbox.
This 19-year-old BMW presents extremely well with beautiful paintwork that has
no shortcomings. A complete story with all the keys tools and extras that it
rolled off the factory line with. If you are seeking a high spec loved E39
that is set up to be reliable and still feel like a new car to drive then
read on...

History
Pre delivery inspected and first registered by Fawdington BMW dealer in Newcastle
on 14.07.2000 and has always resided in the Newcastle area. The first owner’s tenure
lasted many years until his death and it was then registered to his wife, who used
it little, if at all. Eventually she was persuaded to sell it to a family friend
whom owned it for a few years until he was unable to continue driving. In August
this year he sold it to a classic car dealer in the town who had expressed an
interest and that’s how I came to learn of it. The V5 shows 3 previous owners as
a result, however, in reality only ever been driven by two mature gentlemen
and has been garaged throughout the majority of its life.
The MOT history reads very clean indeed, it’s been in constant use with no gaps
to the yearly tests albeit very few miles being added each year. The service book
details 8 service stamps, the first 5 of which are the supplying dealer up to
23718 miles, the last 3 being a local car care centre. The most recent MOT expired
in June this year and I will of course be selling with a fresh test. I have been
right over the car and driven it a few hundred miles and it performs superbly.
Still wearing its original supplying dealer number plates and rear window decal,
the originality of this car is beyond reproach and is certainly one of the
lowest mileage E39 cars on the market.

Condition - So Good, very difficult to illustrate with pictures.
Cosmetically as the pictures bear testament to it is in excellent glossy
order given its 19 years; the paint is superb with a wet look finish.
Images I have tried to convey in the image gallery, its fine details
such as unmarked seatbelts and bolsters, clean engine bay, boot, carpets
and switchgear. The car drives sublime, it has a fine unused feel and an
almost tangible depth to the engineering that is lost today. A study of
the underside reveals a dry corrosion free car that is excellent. One
that very much has to be seen and driven to be fully appreciated.
This car has been maintained with a passion and carefully used cleaned
and stored. All bushes and bearings feel as tight as the day it was new.
The cabin remains 100 % box fresh with very clean leathers which should
suit even the fussiest of tastes, the driver’s seat is unworn as pictured,
the rear and boot area barely used, and the foot wells and rears of the
seats and the mats are all clean and unspoiled. Everything in full working
order. A car can cover a mile in different ways.

Wheels & Tyres / Brakes
Proper genuine 16 "rims, not cheap heavy poorly balanced imitations that
compromise the ride. The wheels are in excellent condition looking to be
original factory finish and do not require refurbishment. All the tyres
are in good condition with thick tread, the brakes poull the car up
evenly and progressively, it tracks correctly with no steering wobbles
or balancing issues.
