Offered for sale is this gorgeous Imola Red E39 M Sport, with MOT until August 25th, 2020.

The car is a late model 520i, being therefore fitted with a 2.2 six cylinder petrol engine developing some 171bhp. It runs very smoothly, but having covered 181k, it's using a touch of oil. It's perfectly driveable as is, and can be sold without warranty for £1495 if you prefer. However, at the asking price, the car comes with a lower mileage 2.5 engine fitted, from a 2003 525i, which also runs beautifully. An engineers report can be provided for this if required. Test drives are welcomed - the car still drives fine and does not have any hidden issues.

The exterior bodywork is in excellent shape, showing no rust anywhere, nor any dents or scrapes. It is as fine an E39 body as is likely to be seen and really belies it's mileage. it has clearly been cared for and all trims are straight, plastics intact and also has a few modifications such as tinted lights and wind deflectors. The front bumper has a crack on the nearside as is common.
The wheels are 18", in the style of the E60 M5, and the tyres are excellent with 6-7mm tread all round. They are all true and there is no shaking as per many tired out examples. The suspension is another choice - the M Sport 2 standard equipment, or KW coilovers. Both are in great shape and ride well - the choice is yours.

Internally the original alcantara has been replaced with black leather which has been fed and waxed to bring it up. The black dash and carpet are accentuated by the M Sport silver trim and there is an M Sport steering wheel which has had a new perforated leather rim fitted. Every electric item works perfectly. There's a CD player fitted in place of the standard cassette deck, and a new gearknob.

With almost a years MOT, and a choice of engines and suspension, this car would be your ideal winter runabout to keep the M3 parked up, or make a fine project if you want a solid base to do a larger engine swap... so much potential in this very clean Imola Red car. With 2.5 engine fitted, £1795; with original 2.2 retained, £1495; Coilovers or Sport suspension a no-cost choice. Can be seen in Dungannon by appointment during business hours.
