BMW 530 540i 1998

Allmän beskrivning : Model History

The E39 was the fourth generation of BMW 5-Series, which was sold from 1995 to 2004. It was launched as a saloon with the estate (Touring) introduced in 1996. The E39 was replaced by the E60 in 2003, however E39 Touring models remained in production until 2004.

The E39 was the first 5-Series to use aluminium components in the front suspension. The proportion of chassis components using aluminium significantly increased for the E39 in order to reduce weight. It was also the first 5-Series where a four-cylinder diesel engine was available. Unlike its E34 predecessor and E60 successor, the E39 was not available with all-wheel drive.

At launch, the petrol engines consisted of the M52 straight-six and M62 V8, which were both new engines at the time. In 1998, the “technical update” versions of these engines were introduced, which introduced double VANOS to increase torque at low rpm. At the 2000 facelift, the M52 straight-six engine was replaced by its successor the M54.

Both the saloon and the Touring offered even more space within the passenger compartment over the previous generation E34. Boasting features such as a multifunction steering wheel, navigation system, active seats, and Dynamic Stability Control, the BMW 5-Series was acknowledged as a particularly outstanding high-tech representative of its segment.

In the interest of enhanced driving dynamics and safety, the body came with a significant increase in torsional stiffness over the former model, and E39 was the first large-scale production car worldwide made almost completely of light alloy. The newly developed all-aluminium engines also helped to significantly reduce the weight of the car. The aerodynamic design of the E39 resulted in a drag coefficient of 0.28.

Exterior

This beautiful example has been in the hands of only one careful owner from new who has always kept the car garaged without fail. The paintwork is truly remarkable and is still 100% original with no previous repairs; it’s completely free of rust in all the usual E39 weak spots and there are no scratches or scrapes to report. All the plastic trims around the car remain in as new condition without the tiniest mark, and all the aluminium strips around the bumpers and windows are also in perfect order. The car still wears its original supplying dealer number plates, and the headlights are 100% free of any moisture ingress. Being an original paint example there are of course a few stone chips to the leading edge of the bonnet and front wings, only evidencing the car’s honesty further.

Interior

The condition of the interior is probably better than most two-year-old cars. The steering wheel, centre console, dashboard, and door cards are all in as new condition. The electric Comfort seats are extremely well presented with only a small amount of creasing to the drivers bolster worthy of note. The cream carpets are unmarked all round, still fully protected by the original dark navy BMW-supplied over mats. The boot area is also immaculate, still housing the rubber luggage straps and BMW toolkit.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

In the hands of one careful owner from new this example has always been serviced at BMW main agents. Any work required has always been done immediately, and as such the car runs beautifully and drives without fault. The engine bay is also in immaculate condition with no damage to any of the components and no unsightly corrosion. The last service was carried out at Vines BMW Guildford at 60,994 miles. The MOT is valid until November 2021.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

All the alloys are in their original paint finish and remain in excellent condition with only one curb mark to the passenger front wheel to note. They are shod in recently fitted matching Dunlop tyres giving a wonderfully smooth ride. Pulling the car up quickly and smoothly the brakes are all in fine working condition and have only ever been replaced at the main dealer.

History File

This magnificent E39 was first registered in November 1998. Originally supplied by Barons BMW of Hindhead the car has now driven just 64k miles in the hands of only one careful owner. The History File is complete with a raft maintenance invoices (all from BMW main dealers), the original document pack with all owner’s manuals, the stamped service booklet, the original bill of sale from July 1998, original sales brochures, and a set of spare keys.

A surely unrepeatable E39 in desirable V8 guise, boasting all-BMW main dealer history, very low mileage and just one owner from new.

om BMW
Bayerische Motoren Werke, allmänt känt som BMW, har en rik historia som sträcker sig tillbaka till grundandet 1916. Ursprungligen etablerat som en flygmotortillverkare under första världskriget, ställdes BMW inför restriktioner när det gällde flygplansproduktion efter kriget. Som svar på detta skiftade företaget 1923 fokus till motorcykeltillverkning, vilket markerade början av deras deltagande inom bilindustrin. Därefter inträdde BMW i bilvärlden 1928 genom att producera DIXI, i huvudsak en licensierad version av Austin 7 från Austin Motor Company.

Under 1930-talet började BMW etablera sig som tillverkare av eleganta och högpresterande fordon. En framstående modell från denna tid är BMW 327, som introducerades 1937. 327 fanns tillgänglig som både coupé och cabriolet och visade företagets engagemang för lyx och stil. Dessutom nådde BMW framgångar inom sportbilsracing under denna period, särskilt med modellen BMW 328. BMW tävlade med 328 i olika racingevenemang, inklusive det prestigefyllda Mille Miglia, där företaget introducerade flera aerodynamiska specialmodeller.

Efterkrigstiden var utmanande för BMW, och företaget stod inför ekonomiska svårigheter som nästan ledde till konkurs. Trots detta lyckades BMW återhämta sig och återuppbygga sig, och blev så småningom en av de ledande premiumvarumärkena globalt.

När 1960-talet rullade in befäste BMW ytterligare sitt rykte som tillverkare av sportiga och lyxiga fordon. År 1968 introducerades BMW 2002 och markerade födelsen av "New Class" av kompakta, sportiga sedaner. 2002 blev populär för sitt smidiga hantering och prestanda och lade grunden för BMW:s sportiga image.

I och med 1970-talet utvidgade BMW sitt sortiment med introduktionen av plattformen E9, som inkluderade den ikoniska BMW 3.0 CS-coupén. E9-serien visade BMW:s engagemang för att kombinera prestanda och lyx. År 1972 gjorde M1, BMW:s första mittmotordrivna sportbil, sin debut. M1 utvecklades ursprungligen som en tävlingsbil men blev senare också en bil för allmän väg. M1 lade grunden för BMW:s högpresterande M-serie.

Mot slutet av 1970-talet introducerades BMW E24 6-serien och erbjöd en kombination av lyx och prestanda. 6-serien inkluderade modeller som 630CS, 633CSi och 635CSi och blev en symbol för sofistikering och körglädje.

Genom dessa milstolpar och en satsning på innovation och prestanda har BMW utvecklats till en gigant inom bilindustrin och behåller sin status som ett av de ledande premiumvarumärkena globalt.
