Early E39's are as desirable as a slap in the d¡ck with a wet towel, especially auto petrols that aren't V8's.

It would need to be in brave good order and have plenty of MOT remaining to fetch £500 IMO.

Best use for that is a donor for its engine, and break the rest for a few weeks and weigh the rest in.

Yeah, it's the 24v M50.

If it's cloth interior and not running a decent set of wheels, £350-400 would be my valuation. With either of those though, it's push £500.

What colour is it in/out?

I know it's not anything to do with value but my dad used to have one of these though IIRC it was a 535i.

My Dad bought an E39 528i new from the Country Garage in 1997.

It's got 175K on it now but he refuses to buy a new one as he's adamant that these are better cars than the E60/F10 etc.

Still, nice car mind you... (I'm in charge of keeping it in a semi respectable state!):

I imagine they are these style 5 BBS alloys, and they should get you a few hundred quid back again no problem.
