BMW 525i SE Automatic (E39) 2001

Description:

BMW 525i SE Automatic (E39) 2001 - Rare Modern Classic Testing the waters for a genuine enthusiast or collector.

Up for sale is my well-cared-for 2001 (Y-Reg) BMW 525i SE Auto.

This classic E39 was previously owned long-term by a close friend’s father, who cherished and maintained it meticulously over the years. It’s officially back on the road, drives like it just rolled off the showroom floor, sounds incredible, and receives compliments wherever it goes.

According to recent UK registry data, there are only a couple left from this exact year making it an increasingly rare sight on today’s roads.

Condition & Overall Notes
For a 25-year-old car, it is in lovely condition. It is not brand-new or showroom perfect, but it is extremely honest, mechanically sound, and gets its fair share of admiring looks and thumbs-up. The auto box is silky smooth, and the signature BMW straight-six engine sounds fantastic and extremely quiet at idle. It has MOT advisories and these have been factored into the price.

Reason for Sale
I was going to keep this as an investment, however I’m looking to downsize to a newer, smaller car for my wife. I am in absolutely no rush to sell and am happy to keep it until the right buyer comes along. The price is the price, nobody is forcing you to buy it.

Buyer Expectation

No group viewings, time-wasters, or tyre-kickers. Fools will not be tolerated, my sincere apologies to the real enthusiasts, but just managing expectations!
