Detailed Description
As soon as purchased the car replaced the original dry-rotted Michelin tires with new 235/45ZR-17 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric All-Season tires and had full cooling system maintenance done as well as an oil change.  After that slowly over time fixed many of the normal BMW maladies common to BMW E39s as well as installed few upgrades.  Here is list of maintenance and upgrades done to the car during my ownership:

Only thing not working on the car is the driver??�s seat thigh support motor.  It has been inoperative since purchased the car, and with it in comfortable position for me I??�ve not taken the seat out to replace it.  have replacement motor and will include it with the car.
Car is in beautiful condition inside & out.  It draws crowd anytime it??�s around BMW enthusiasts, as the BMW E39 was judged by many to the best series that BMW made, and most E39s one sees today are worn out shadow of their former self.  It is not an understatement saying the car looks and drives like 2-3 year old BMW CPO car and not 14 year old car.    Motor is responsive and powerful, transmission shifts smoothly, suspension and steering is tight, drives as you expect BMW should drive.  Car really loves both the curvy backroads as well as long speedy freeway drives.  Dual zone heat and AC works nicely. Dash is perfect and untracked, Interior leather is in great condition, carpet is clean and stain free.  ZERO rust, garage kept during it??�s entire life.  Paint shines with nice gloss, some minor road rash on hood that was been touched up with Dr. Colorchip.  Fully sorted mechanically and electrically, all paint is original, no dents or dings, all window glass and rubber in excellent condition.  
Here is your opportunity to purchase the classic E39 series that really is time machine back to 2003.
Title is free and clear, in my possession.  Car is located in Helena, AL.  Car is for sale locally, so reserve the right to end the auction anytime.
