Buying an E39 530d

[Alym786]

Hey all,

Just a bit of advice. My mate is going down to Enfield to have a look at a 530d Sport (E39)... Just wanted to ask if there is anything he should look out for when going to view her!?

Its got 107k on the clock. 2002 model.
It's also got FSH.

Cheers

i had one and my ones propshaft was on its way out it was clonking and my Indy said there are bound to go around 100k so check for any noise's, and check the gearbox if a auto as my one started to play around where the gears wouldn't change till high revs.
