So, after paying a deposit over 2 weeks ago, I finally picked up my new E39 yesterday :D It's to replace my E39 520i that I've had for a year, and loved, but it just didn't have enough pace, so I went out and bought a big V8.
Bought it from a member of the 5 series owners club, and it seems to have been well looked after.
She's a manual 2000 535i Sport, and IMO - absolutely gorgeous! Drove it last night after getting it, and I absolutely love it!
Spec so far (copied from the advert):
Black Grilles
4002K HIDs fitted
50k miles genuine M5 suspension all round fitted (shocks and springs)
New top mounts
Brand new PAS pump/fluid from BMW (genuine)
New belts all round.
Brake Fluid
NSR Anti-Roll Bar Drop Link
Gearbox Oil Change
Sparkplugs
New Rocker Cover Gaskets (both banks)
Custom Build Rear Exhaust Section (nice refined sound)
18” Parallel Staggered Wheels – diamond cut.
Some pictures I've taken of it

Handles great with the M5 suspension.. grips really well, and she pulls pretty well!
Plans for the future:
Re spray front bumper and bonnet
Remove V8 badges on the wings
Get a new headlight to replace leaking one
