WTS: BMW E39 528i (reluctant sale)

[unkle_uber]

i doubt any bank will approve a loan for a car that is more than 10 years old. I bought this car with cash and i know of many other bmw owners who bought their E60 and E90 with cash too. I rather pay something with cash and not having to worry about repayments with interest being earned by the bank.

I have a few potential buyers who contacted me, and i apologize for not getting into contact with you guys yet as I am currently out stationed at the moment and will be free on Monday when i am back.

Yeah lo... still tak puas hati till today

Since you've driven both models, can you briefly describe what you miss from the E39 or "tak puas hati" with the E60?

More than willing to share ;

Plus point on e39 :
1) More stable on high speed . Heavier.
2) Awesome leather seat that gives u the sink ( absorption ) and good quality dashboard . my 12 years dashboar quality is far superior than E60
3) Less electronic - no sakit mata
4) Direct steering that gives u the feel of the driving mechanism - u literally feel the road.
5) Parts are cheaper as widely/easily available
6) temperature monitor dial , that gives u peace or mind .

Minus point ;
1) Little slower pickup compare to E60 ( E60 lighter )
2) No -i drive
and that 's it.. nothing more i see on minus side.

in short .. its a real drivers car. Believe me , even today i never fail to check on e39 in mudah and motor trader. Wish can buy back another one , but HM is againts it. Hopefully one day

I am not happy with my E60's seat and dashboard , Somehow they look cheap and plasticy. BMW should have maintained the dash and seat quality as in E39. But acceleration wise , i m

Let me add and answer. I owned E39 528 & E60 530 before.

More than willing to share ;

Plus point on e39 :
1) More stable on high speed . Heavier.
E39 feel more solid. I have to upgrade E60 a lot to make it stable even at 180kmh only ie coilover, anti roll bar, strut bar, good 19" rim and tyre,

2) Awesome leather seat that gives u the sink ( absorption ) and good quality dashboard . my 12 years dashboar quality is far superior than E60.
E39 standard seat is great for front & rear. E60 front seat is sucks even for msport. My E60 was comfort seat its much better hehehe. I specifically looking for this seat with high quality leather. In my case my E60 is better seat.

3) Less electronic - no sakit mata
E60 has more than 30 electronic module for all the function and each module will cost rm3 to 4k to replace if faulty

4) Direct steering that gives u the feel of the driving mechanism - u literally feel the road.
Due to active steering it feel more lighter but actually its good for manouver. You need to upgrade the handling department as above No 1 to make it slighly better.

5) Parts are cheaper as widely/easily available
E60 is more expensive since its newer car and more electronics and aluminium parts.
6) temperature monitor dial , that gives u peace or mind . No comment hehehe

Minus point ;
1) Little slower pickup compare to E60 ( E60 lighter )
Not really it depend on which model you compare. My E60 530 is powerful than my E39 528 as mod a lot but E39 528 is not bad either as it can do 170kmh at 3k rpm only as compare E60 530 at 3.5k rpm. Maybe becoz my E39 had overhaul and polish the head 231 bhp vs 193 bhp

2) No -i drive
and that 's it.. nothing more i see on minus side. No comment hehehe

My conclusion E39 is still the best car around. I havent drive F10 yet. Too bad I miss my ex E39 as it just sold to another guy before I sold my E60 and E90, just 2 days late haizzz. E39 has never fail my attention everytime I bump to. For E39 you need 528 or 530 only. Much better if 540 or M5 hahahaha
