damn that car is so clean!
Very nice. Good luck with the sale. I think you're going to have a little bit of a hard time with the price outside of the enthusiast market. Book value on pre-01 cars is way down, and to people for whom mods don't make a difference, the impressive list of things you've added isn't much of a selling point. That said, that's a beautiful E39 and I hope it gets a good home with someone who'll care for it as you have.
I was thinking the same thing as RocketWagon, as awesome as that car looks, its still an 99 with 90k+ mileage. And a lot of people don't care much about mods and mods don't always add value to the car, they add to the current owners value and enjoyment of the car. But boy oh boy is that a beautiful 540, I hope it finds a wonderful home!
looks great .. love the bbk .. gosh you might want to strip her down and sell the parts .. probable get more for the mods .. btw, what happened to the cf splitter ?

Thanks and I know exactly what you guys are saying. This is kind of a feeler sale. If it does not sell, i will part it out. I already have people lined up for lights, brakes, exhaust, headers, wheels, intake etc. I really do not want to part it out, but rather offer it as a complete package to an enthusiast. We'll see if my buyer is out there. Thanks again.
Alpine white E39, one of the most beautiful cars out there. Sorry to hear you're selling.

As someone who has parted a car before...its NO FUN watching your baby go back to being "normal"....lovely looking car...I bet she's a beauty to drive...best of luck with the sale.
BMWCCA #389756
e39 Touring SOLD.
Don't listen to these guys saying it's overpriced. A non-enthusiast would take one drive and think it's too loud or something. It will sell to an enthusiast, but you might have to wait to find that perfect buyer.
it will eventually end up with my son. Good luck on the sale; for an enthusiast itntent on having an E39 to mod, this would be a pretty good buy. I'm thinking about adding Supersprint Headers at some point in the future so if you decide to part it out...........
OMG i want..
There are many mods on this car which im hoping my car will be like someday.
Minus a few things.
I honestly dont think you will have a hard time selling it.
Heck, if i heard it, i know id buy it in a heartbeat
EDIT: I decided to edit this post a couple minutes later just to add this:

Thanks guys for all the kind words.
This is the first day that the car has been up for sale. I have a few interested and two very interested. What I'm most excited about is that this car will end up with a true enthusiast. Will keep you guys posted.
nice car good luck with sale
WTF?!? I turn my back to the screen for a few minutes and up comes this thread.
Gurba, i knowhow you feel man. I too have too many car. I have a Nav that barely see's the road. Last year I drove it no more then 1000 miles. I need to get rid of it too but its not easy. Especially with the economy going to shit. You can try but getting any top dollar amount is going to be hard. If you can, hold on to it till things get better. Worst case scenario, take the plates off and cover her up. Dont settle for ANYTHING less! Hold your ground and when the time is right, she will be sold to the proper people.

hmm, this is a little over my budget but i think i may be able to squeeze a little extra money out of the parents haha. gotta wait until my letters from texas tech and other schools come back.
that's one hot alpine 5'er. If I had the money I'd drive right up and get it this weekend. I'm actually looking to buy an alpine 540i/6, then selling my 528i/a, but my budget is way under that
