RE: E39 touring buying advice?
Front + rear bumper
Paint
Machine polish
Tyres
Brakes
Almost impossible to tell from the pictures but at an absolute minimum id guesstimate 2k
On the other side of the coin get them to tax it for the year that would give you 1500e toward maintenance
If it needs a full respray you could be at really big money though in no time ,suspension could be shagged at 150k too

I'd say you'll be closer to €4k unless you're doing the labour yourself. I put €5k into a touring a few year back that looked quite well initially.
E39 touring buying advice?
Bumpers - 400 ish
Wheel refurb - 400
Paint 3k - 4k
Suspension overhaul - 2.5k
Engine work (this is a guess but I'd factor it anyway) - 1k
So I would say anywhere between 5k and 7k to get it respectable

What about an se touring? Easier to come by, good bit cheaper then Msports so plenty of money to play about with then for Msport bits
Quick look on DD
Here is an se with Msport interior and steering wheel by looks of things, needs body tidying and rear window (insurance ;))

RE: E39 touring buying advice?
Cheers gar, unfortunately that one is pre facelift so no isofix for the child seats
RE: E39 touring buying advice?
Its facelift alan 525i was facelift only
RE: E39 touring buying advice?
Can't see isofix points and the steering wheel looks pre facelift?
RE: E39 touring buying advice?
Wasn't standard on facelift unless maybe really late e39's iv a facelift with no isofix that wheel was used until late 01 on facelifts
RE: E39 touring buying advice?
Ok. I thought Isofix was standard on touring facelift, I know it wasn't standard on the saloons.
Is it still considered a facelift with the old wheel so?
