Hi guys,

I am new here, and tomorrow I am going to look for a 535d T with M package.

It's from 12-04 and has 92000 km's..

But can someone tell me if it's an original M pack when it does not have M-steering wheel,footrest, black sky ?

I do not have many info because the seller just had it today and didn't know.

They only negative about it is that it has no comfort-seats..

So the thing's I am curious about, if it has the better stereo, electric rear door etc..

The price is also lower then the fully loaded ones.

But what I want to ask; do you guys know if there's another option which are importand,what can you tell from on the pic's ? or any tips for tomorrow ?

And are these 19" wheels ?? The seller did know it was a bit lower then original.

Thanks for any tips or comment !

greetings from Holland


Jasper

Congrats on a very nice car!

But, no it doesn't have the "full" M-kit equipment. Apparantly they have just put on the exterior part and not the interior.

The wheels are called 172M and are optional for the E60, and not the E61. On the E61 you need to either have four front wheels or the staggered approach from the E60 set-up with spacers in the rear.

To get a full list of what your car has and hasn't, go to your nearst BMW dealer and ask for a transcript of all options installed in your car.

narvselius has already answered the questions about the m-sport, 19s and checking specs.

With regards to the seats, between my two E60s I've done about 130000km on sports seats and have no issues with them.

If you're quick, you may even be able to bring your new E60 to the European Meet which is taking place in K?ln & Maastricht -- check out the link below

Good luck with your car hunt...

Ok, thanks for the quick answers!

So it's no original M pack.. Well not a big problem is it?

What can you tell me about the High Executive package in 12-04?

Which options where in that package?

Regards!

That will be a "Netherlands" package, so hopefully some of our Dutch members will chime in shortly...

Hi Jasper,

It certainly isn't a High Executive package, because it has no Comfort seats (option code 456).

By looking at the car, I would say it does not have an OEM sportsuspension (the front end is sitting too low). I always have my doubts with a car like this. It's also imported in 2007, so it could be a collision car!

What's the price and the km's if you say it's that low priced?

"High Executive" package was not offered in Germany. In Germany you just have the standard options list or the "Edition" models, which they typically offer at the model's end of life, i.e. now!

The only packages offered are to "large customers" (Grosskunden) and is targetted at companies with large fleets. The offered the "Basic Package" and the "Business Package", as well as a navigation package of sorts -- can't remember what. Maybe dealers create their own packages, but I'm not aware of these. So to the best of my knowledge, there is no "High Executive" package in Germany.

A BMW dealer should be able to tell you what the car was delivered with originally, if you give them the vehicles chassis number.

Hi LW,

He's for sale at 37.000 euro's incl. btw / bpm.

He's imported in 2007.

I also think it had damage and then put the M bumpers on.

It does not have to be a problem, but we will see..

Hi Jappie,

It doesn't seem very cheap to me..... I don't really get a good feeling with the car. It seems that there are spacers for the rear wheels (the staggered wheels don't fit otherwise). I don't trust cars that are build out of strange combinations.

A real BMW enthousiastic would also have changed the chrome for shadow line and also the steering wheel. You should also check the km's with the German dealer who is mentioned in the service manual. It's quite easy to make a new service manual and change the km's on the odo....
