This 2002 BMW 525i, a 5-speed manual, started in Dingolfing, Lower Bavaria, where BMW built most E39 5 Series. π It left the plant for America and crossed the ocean brand new. π’ One owner took it home here and drove it about 2,500 miles a year. 16 service records, all from BMW.
So the odometer reads 60k miles, and you can still read every number on the wood shift k**b. Now it's on our lot at Autobakers. We caught ourselves grinning. A manual E39 with this history doesn't come by often.
Who do you know who'd still drive a manual E39 every day?
