Well it had to be done really, it came in a px at work and i fancied something a bit newer again plus the mrs doesn't approve of the E34 B10.
What do women know eh?!
So, what do we have? Its a 2002 530iA Sport in black with black which is a one owner plus Redhill Vines BMW dealer demo (the sister dealer to the one i work at) which has covered 87k with FSH including every invoice MOT and tax disc from new and HPI clear!
Condition wise its very good with all original paint as far as i can tell, no rust at all, a couple of small car park dents a crack in the front bumper, straight virtually unmarked wheels with 4 matching Avon ZV5's, tidy interior and mechanically sound, nice and dry underneath.
Couple of typical E39/E53 electrical faults, an intermittent PDC fault which will be a sensor and the Nav disc drive just spits the disc back out so an upraded mk4 Nav unit will be the order of the day for that.
What really sold it for me though was the spec!
On top of the all ready decent standard 530iA Sport spec it has the following options,
403 Glass roof electric
459 Electric seat adjust, drivers memory, electric steering column
494 Seat heating front
522 Xennon headlights
609 Professional Navigation
632 Coms pack with BMW cellular phone
694 CD changer
555 On board computer
602 On board monitor with TV function
521 Rain sensor with auto lights
675 HiFI loudspeaker system
508 Park distance control
761 Individual sun protection glazing
780 M parallel 18" alloys
464 Ski bag
465 Through load system
470 Child isofix attachment
500 Headlight wash with intensive cleaning
Healthy to say the least and no doubt because it was a demo.
Plans are to use it as a daily and to sort the Nav, PDC and cracked bumper once christmas is out of the way.
Best of all was the price!
