That looks lovely

I loved my TitanSilber 530i Sport touring - mine was a Jap import that came into the UK late 2018 and I bought it March 2019

Literally rebuilt the car within the 1st 12 months or so will a full suspension & brake overhaul etc

Went through a few sets of wheels and stuck with OEM 17" Style 66s in the end as the car drove & handled with them the best



Sold it late 2021; missed it ever since

looks as if yours is a facelift model? quite rare to find down here in australia (in my state at least). what’re you driving now?

Yeah; it was a 2002 Sport; all my E39s were 2002 E39 Sport's inc my last one, another Jap import, 540i Sport saloon although that only lasted 6 months with me



Did the full suspension & brakes overhaul on that and then decided it wasn't for me, so sold it on

Had an F01 730D before that and now in an F31 325d M Sport touring

Thanks. Always liked the look of the F31 and it's nigh on the same size inside as the E39 touring was; albeit the load space isn't as big

I did consider an F11 530D but as we were to reduce to one car as I work from home (but the wife has to be in the office 3 times a week); it was deemed a bit too big for the car spaces at the Uni she works at...

That never happened but there's no regrets in buying the F31

Show's you how small it is compared to my cousins Taycan though
