Lean Green Machine: 2000 BMW 528iT Wagon E39
The E39 generation BMW 5-series was one of the last designs from BMW to not be Banglized and overly complicated. Complicated…yes…but not overly..not many issues will need to be solved with a fancy computer talking to other computers…and most things will require a wrench and some RTV. Today’s example doesn’t have the screaming V8 you get in a 540i, but it does have the usability of a wagon and the silky smooth M52 inline-6 good for 190 horsepower and 207 ft-lbs of torque pushed through a 5-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels. Find this 2000 BMW 528iT Wagon E39 offered for $4200 in San Francisco, CA via craigslist.

Another one that would be crowding up my driveway if I had space and more importantly cash to burn. Nice find!

As an outlaw, I accept this challenge.
*Damn this quarter just got really hot.
Fun fact: by the time the new owner pulls into their driveway, this 528 will have almost driven The distance to the moon.
