Vehicle description
6 speed V8 E39. Largely rust free car; no rust present in typical E39 "weak" spots. There are a couple of rock chips in the paint which have rusted. 2 keys, owners manual, full size spare tire with matching wheel, one new Bosch O2 sensor, 4 new brake pads and rotors (in box) will be included in the sale. All accessories work well. Car runs and drives very well. I have been daily driving it during most of my ownership. Clutch is in good working order, engine makes great power, drives very, very well. The interior is very clean save for the sunroof cover lining having fallen off (see picture where it is visible). There are no rips or tears in the leather. Mileage will likely increase because I am still driving it. I do NOT have any record or proof the timing chain and guide service has been performed on this car. Please note this is a pre-vanos car. I am happy to send you more pictures. Clean New York title in hand. Serious inquiries only.
