Here we have a legendary and still highly sought-after BMW up for auction: a lively LCI E61 535d, very well equipped and modified! Those who know, know!
I took the car for a test drive, and considering the mileage and age, it felt decent on the road. The exhaust system has been straightened out and the exhaust note is typical for this type of car - plenty of rumble and whistle. It pulls well and the sport transmission seemed to work properly.
Body condition: Considering the age and mileage, I would say this is a neat example. There are a few age-related marks, including a missing piece on the left side sill and some minor lacquer damage or similar on the left rear door. Otherwise, mainly normal signs of use (See pictures!)
Interior condition: This is surprisingly tidy, with a brown comfort interior and massage seats. (See pictures)
Tyres/wheels: On one set of tyres, with the nice wheels shown in the pictures. Tread depths photographed. (See pictures)
Windscreen: Cracked on both sides
Service history: Service book photographed - several receipts. Last recorded service in 11/2025, also including replacement of glow plugs, glow plug relay, intake manifold gasket, gearbox oil, etc.
