Hi guys
My name is Alexandros and i am from Greece. I bought a 2001 E39 520i Avus Blue at November 2013. She is not my first BMW and i sadly gave up my last one for a used family one. I am very satisfy with her and i continue change things to satisfy her also ! [IMG] I will start a post with the full story and photos. |

In 2005 it was time for me to sell the E46 sedan for an E46 2004 ///M3 Silver Grau SMGII.
Remind later for the E39 that i will change many rims, as i did to all my BMW's...

After seven years of joy i had to sell my ///M3 cause i got married and i need a new dd with more space ! I love the shape of E46 and E53 so the E39 was the only choice for me !
After 2 months of searching i found an really grade 11/2001 520i E39, with many extras. 18'' wheels, oem ///M5 interior, M Pack, Hella facelift lights and the great Avus Blue color. Here she was as i bought her.

Thank you.
So, from the first look, i realised that she need's lowering and new wheels. Also an exhaust because she had a big gap there...

During that time i was searching for oem ///M5 wheels but it was so difficult to find. I found for 200 euro's, these oem 19" from an 650 !
I lowered her with Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks.

I replace the steering wheel with an MPack, with nappa leather and ///M stripes. Also i put the oem rings. I replace the front grills to silver-blk.

Thanks for sharing. I really like your E39's BMW Individual touches, both on the outside and on the inside. I drove my E39 for seven years and 150,000 kms and very much enjoyed the way it drove and sounded. Cheers.

Beautiful E39, love the colors, the M extras and the wheels. Enjoy it in good health! I just sold my 2011 supercharged M3 and bought a low mileage 2003 530i E39. I know it sounds odd but I wanted another E39 BMW in my stable. My first BMW was a 2003 530i, I've missed that car so much that I had to have one.
Best of luck with yours. Καλoταξιδο να ειναι! Δημητρης απο Ντενβερ |

It is my pleasure, we share the same passion for BMW.
Why using the X5, she have enough space for a d.d.!

Jimk, thank you. After the ///M3 i was close to trade her with an ///M5 E39 ! But having the X5 and another ///M for d.d. ? So cause i really like the shape of her the decision was easy. I would like little more power, but when i found this beauty in that condition and this colour, i didn;t mind. She looks great, perform's great an the feeling is GREAT.
Until now at 176.548 km, except the inspections etc the only "damage" i had was something common for E39. IAt 157.327 km i replaced the radiator. Χάρηκα Δημήτρη !

Since i bought her, i was searching for OEM ///M5 wheels. I found them 10 days ago not in perfect condition, but for 100 euros i took them. I sent them to an expert and the result is perfect.
I am waiting for the tires and the JR's will be gone. I can' t wait to see her with ///M5 18''. Yes i know, i love wheels...
