Same... These were going for peanuts pre-plague, especially in the kind of 'well-loved' condition this one's in (scratches, leaks, broken mirror, worn seals etc).

Yeah I went through a period of keeping an eye on the e39 tourings on eBay etc, fortunately my mates talked me out of it. And then I saw first hand how chronic the rust problems are in the boot and footwells when I tore my banger e39 saloon apart, I just lost interest. Not to mention immobiliser issues!!!! Spent months prepping the car only for it to develop the common immobiliser fault literally as we went to trailer it to the track :((

Wonder what it’ll go for? Looks nice, but has an oil leak, is an auto etc.
