I think you'll find a few 00 plate e39's of that era would be 530i 's.


The 5 Series range received a through makeover in September 2000, The 520i’s 2.0-litre engine was consigned to the history books, replaced by a 2.2-litre unit that developed 170bhp, an identical output to the 523i which, unsurprisingly, was also replaced. Its successor, the 525i was powered by a 2.5-litre unit developing 192bhp, only 1bhp less than the 528i.

See where this is going?
You’d be right.
The 528i was axed, making way for the 231bhp 530i, with its 3.0-litre straight six cylinder engine, available in saloon or Touring guises. ;)

I'm curious about the idea that the value of her present car with plummet at the 2 year point.
Can't help but think that it's already done the equivalent of being dropped from the top of Canary Wharf.

Hyundi for 6k - Will be the old shape, doubt 01 plate or newer.

Fiat Coupe for 6k - They don't make it anymore so it's technically old shape, definitely not 01 plate or newer.

Alfa Spider - Old shape for 6k, won't be 01 plate or newer.

Alfa GTV - Old shape for 6k, won't be 01 plate or newer.

BMW Z3 - Old shape for 6k (and it'll be a dog or at most very poorly specced), "only" the 1.9, won't be 01 plate or newer.

I see a few for sale fo runder 6k that aren't damaged repaired etc.

I think she needs to have a rethink of her criteria :)

I'd probably (and did) go for a 172 for that kind of money, or maybe an Ibiza Cupra.
