BMW 5-Series 2008
*This is a project car, but a fixable one...don't ask about parts*
Reg 08D24105, Irish car from day dot.
I've owned it for 10 years, it has been wrapped on the driveway for 2.
300000km on clock
3L Stage 2 remapped with DPF deleted etc, 390 bhp
Timing chain done at 180km
Small turbo is not working, 2nd one is
Some small panel damage on passenger side rear wheel well/door. Its fixable
Paintwork is in ok condition, few scuffs, chips etc
Broken rear spring on passenger side
Battery cable overcharged, did not realise there was a recall. So needs new battery cable.
Ignition starts but key is loose in it, needs a new barrel.
It is probably in need of new coil overs and brakes. Engine and transmission run fine.
Honestly I got a work car 2 years ago and wanted to fix the 535D up, I know needs €1500 in suspension, the small turbo as well which is not the worst. Most of it is original apart from the remap and 2 replacement spiders. The wheels will clean up fine.
In the ten years I owned it, it was the most reliable car I've ever head. It was owned by a mechanic before me who removed the swirl flaps, sorted the dpf and remap. Remap has this car. The car is a beast, it will happily sit at 160kmph and be under 2500 revs, it is unbelievable on the motorway.
I'd love to fix it and sell it for €10k, but I don't have the time or a garage to do it. I'm happy to part with it for a decent offer.
Don't low ball me on offers, I know what its worth. Send me a message on here with your phone number and I'll come back to you on whatsapp if the offer/questions seem legit. I've had a few tyre kickers look at it already, don't enquire unless you are serious about fixing it.
This is a fun car with a legendary engine. Only buy it if you want to fix it and love cars.
