Description:

BMW e39 525i facelift with Manual box.
It has done 170k and has lots of car park dings and scratches but is mechanically sound. In the 18 months I've had it, I have replaced the viscous fan, clutch, gearbox, brake pipes, ABS module and alternator. Plus loads more. This has all been carried out by the BMW specialist next door to my garage, as well as serviced and maintained regularly. I bought the car with the intention of doing the whole car but after doing the preventative maintenance and replacing anything that wasnt up to scratch, I havent gotten on to the bodywork. It has been lowered on adjustable coilovers and has an aftermarket backbox. The engine is sweet as a nut and still pulls fantastically. I love this car but has been used as both my toy and a family car so the seats are stained with pen and spilled drinks. The missus has now passed her test and I have bought her a mk4 golf, so I want to get a dedicated toy.
This car would want tidying ie new seats, some bodywork, but has had all mechanical work done and more. Its perfect for somebody who wants a fast car for playing/driving to work, but still needs to lug the kids about.

I want to swap for

MUST BE RWD AND MANUAL!
Any straight six BMW 3 series,
Anything jap, ie MX5, Scooby, 200sx, MR2 etc
Maybe manual RWD merc.
Basically something i can drift.
Will consider cars that need work, as this will be my toy and kept at my unit.

I am open to ALL SWAPZ
