‘RX52NMM’ is a well presented example of the E39, or fourth generation of BMW’s 5 Series executive saloon. ‘RX52NMM’is finished in the rare and eye-catching BMW Individual colour of Mora Metallic. ‘RX52NMM’ is a three litre, straight six example with a five speed automatic transmission. Having covered around 135,000 miles to date, ‘RX52NMM’s’ recent use has been light with under 15,000 miles covered in the last 10 years. ‘RX52NMM’ has been in its current ownership since August 2024 but has benefited from much well-chosen maintenance in that time. Additionally, a service book stamped up to 129,000 is also present. ‘RX52NMM’ currently holds an MOT until November 2025 so is ready use immediately. ‘RX52NMM’ holds a category D insurance marker from August 2017.

The E39 BMW was the first 5 Series released under the auspices of BMW design guru, Chris Bangle. The 530i model appeared in the year 2000 and utilised the straight six M54B30 engine producing around 228 bhp. The mechanical systems of ‘RX52NMM’ have benefited from diligent upkeep, too. In current ownership work includes new rocker cover gasket, new Meyle shock absorbers, rear differential seals and fresh oil, exhaust gasket fitted, new lower chain tensioner and a full Vanos rebuild. As well as this, two new front tyres have been fitted, both jacking points have been inspected and deemed structurally sound, and a new windscreen and rubber has been fitted.

‘RX52NMM’ is a striking looking car thanks to that rare Mora Metallic livery. The sumptuous interior is trimmed in cream leather which contrasts perfectly with the striking exterior treatment. This is a well equipped luxury saloon, too. Refinements include M Sport Pack, rear blinds and electric rear window blind, shadow line trim, smokers pack and M Sport parallels. ‘RX52NMM’ is also fitted with a Bluetooth aftermarket head unit and aftermarket reversing camera. The vendor rates the engine, transmission and electrics as “good” and the paint, bodywork and interior as “average.” Some minor surface rust is noted around some of the wheel arches and around the bottom of a rear door.

In summary:

· A well specified example of the E39 BMW 5 Series

· Boasting a fine service history and much maintenance work recently done

· Offered in a striking colourway of Mora Metallic over cream leather
