Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

Re: Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

Hi futron,

Looks ok but probably you wanna go for a test drive and see how you feel for this ride and bring it to a mechanic for a check .....

Happy searching........

Cheers
 
Re: Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

$57K for is 99 520i is way over priced!! Furthermore its the PFL model using M52 engine. 2000 onwards ones are using M54 engines.
 
Re: Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

Hey bro, i've bought some rides from this dealer b4. Basically, i have also seen this ride, its in pretty good original condition. Price is also in reasonable range. Plus its only 1 owner..

Do go down to Tagore to check it out, think its worth the time.

Happy scouting..
 
Re: Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

the chief salesman Lim is ... quite sneaky ... but not downright dishonest
you need to make watertight agreements or you will find yourself on the short end of the stick

hint... i was offered this car for 39k the moment they got the car.
you go work out the maths.

Actually S$57k for 10 years and S$46k for just under 8 years is the same on a per annum basis, so if that 99 is overpriced, then the 97 one is too.

How about the Dec 00 2.2 M54 with the same mileage asking for S$57k with new COE? That car probably drives better and would have more equipment - at the very least, it would be worth a look just to know what else is available on the market IMHO.

BTW the "520" badge is in the wrong place on the white 97 car. It's also got the original 15 inch rims, which is good from an originality standpoint (once you move the badge hehe), although it's worth noting that this car drives well on both 16 and 17 inch rims. I've had both configurations.

Just my two cents worth - enjoy the hunt!

Hi! Thanks for the information!! I was deciding between Cruz's 520i and this one. Now after test driving his and this one, I think I will go for this white one instead.
 
Re: Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

Hi Futron,

Happy for your search.......May Day gift man......

Cheers
 
Re: Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

Good stuff are worth to be wait...............
 
Re: Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

Hi Bro, Heard that the fuel consumtion is less than 8Km /litre for M54. Dunno how true.?
 
Re: Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

My E39, M54 only can travel 7.2km/L in town....
 
Re: Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

On my E39, M54B22 can only travel 6.5km/L in town.
 
Re: Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

Alamak. Pretty high on the fuel consumption. What if E39 with M52 engine? Anyone?
 
Re: Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

Mine is m52 engine, 7.5 - 8km/L in town.
 
Re: Is This E39 520i Worth Buying?

Hmmm...... M52 engine, 7.5 - 8km/L in town sound good and reasonable. Any problem in the M52 engine? Heard that this is an Aluminium block engine, once overheat and most likely game over. True? Anyone can share their experience?

Most of d time, my wife drive d ka. She always feather d throttle. That's why. Unlike me, i gunned d throttle to attain cruising asap. Dependant on speed, i will lift throttle about 500m b4 traffic light. When i drive, it will improve to about 7km/L.
