Description

Exceptional BMW 523i SE Saloon 2.5 6 Cylinder Petrol, 5 Speed Manual Gearbox & 170 BHP. Finished in gorgeous Montreal Blue Metallic Coachwork with contrasting sumptuous Montana Sand Beige Leather Upholstery, Two Tone Dark Beige Door Tops & Dashboard & polished Black Ash Wooden Veneers. This wonderful example of the ever popular E39 BMW has over £4K of Factory Fitted Options & has been owned by Father & Son for the past 28 years. Believed to have originally been registered as a demo vehicle & then sold to its first owner who kept it for 12 months. On the 4/9/1997, the car was sold to Mr Kiernam who kept it for 22 years until he passed away & left the car to his Son. The Son registered the car in his name & took the car out of storage, where it had been for the previous 7 years (Father had given up driving in 2013). The car was then mechanically attended to including a new 3 piece clutch kit, engine service & new battery. Ever since the car has been put back into storage & benefited from 4 new tyres in 2024, & the odd run to the MOT station. The Son has reluctantly decided it is time to let somebody else enjoy it, hence it is now available to the marketplace. Factory fitted options include the Metallic Paintwork, Montana Soft Leather Upholstery, CD Multichanger, Business RDS Stereo, Spoke Style Alloy Wheels, Auto Dimming Mirrors, De Chrome Exterior & Interior, On board Computer & Front Armrest. Lovely standard SE spec including Climate Control, Remote Central Locking (2 Remote Keys, 1 Valet Key & 1 Master Key Blade with vehicle), All Round Elec Windows, Elec Mirrors, Full Size Matching Alloy Wheel Spare & Toolkit, Leather Steering Wheel (adjustable) & Gear knob, Multiple Airbags, Driver & Passenger Seat Height Adjust & more. This is probably one of the lowest mileage E39 BMW, having covered just 57.5K from new. Service book stamped at 10K, 20K, 25K, 29K, 31K, 40K & 57K. 6 of the 7 services have been carried out by BMW Main Dealers. Original BMW Book Pack with Operating Manuals, supplying Sytner BMW Service Cards & Leather Swatch. The car still boasts it Sytner BMW Key Tags & Window Sticker. The car is a pleasure to drive & feels incredibly solid & capable on the road. The engine fires straight up with no smoke, rattles or knocks, it sounds fantastic & pulls like a train. The gearbox is crisp & precise & the clutch has only covered 116 miles! No unwanted noises, rattles or annoyances from the cabin, steering, brakes, suspension or drive train. It really is quite superb & testimony to how well BMW built their cars in the 90s. Sure to be a fantastic investment with E39 prices increasing year on year. M5 number plate will come with the car & is likely worth upwards of £1,500. Any inspection welcome. The bodywork is in incredible condition & all paintwork looks original. No rust or corrosion, deep scratches, lacquer peal or notable dents. The car has just benefited from a machine polish & has a lovely deep shine, along with a full valet. Supplied with a new MOT (any advisories professionally addressed), stringent RAC Pre Delivery Inspection, 4 Keys, HPI Clear Cert, Full V5, 12 Months RAC Breakdown Cover & 6 Months RAC Mechanical & Electrical Warranty (extendable up to 3 years). RAC Approved Dealer, over seventy 5 star Google reviews & nominated for the 2025 Business Awards. Please buy with confidence.
