2003 BMW 5-Series Description

Hello,
A unique opportunity may require me to sell my cherished E39. Finished in bluewater metallic, a rare color only on a handful of BMWs. This automobile has been given the white-glove treatment since even before my ownership.
Exterior: Paint is beautiful, with some scuffs and chips due to age. The exterior has always been maintained with high quality cleaning and polishing products. The windshield is new, all of the other windows are original and tinted to 30%.
Interior: Much like the exterior, the interior has been kept immaculate. The trim was swapped out to Technical Graphite, a rare trim package only on a handful of E39s. The front seats are swapped from a premium model E38 7-Series, featuring many more adjustments than the regular E39 sport seats. The center console has been swapped to the European market style, which opens and has storage inside.
Sound system: As most BMW enthusiasts will agree, the factory E39 stereo was lacking a certain wow-factor. I have upgraded the stereo components to make up for this design flaw. Featuring Infinity Kappa speakers in the doors and a 10 inch Infinity Kappa subwoofer, some of the best quality speakers available. The speakers are powered by a JBL 5-channel amplifier, and controlled by a Pioneer NEX headunit, featuring CarPlay.
Mechanics: The naturally aspirated 3.0L 6 cylinder M54 engine is one of the best engines that BMW has ever produced. The 5-speed automatic transmission and torque converter was replaced at 135k miles by BMW of Bellevue. The rear swaybar has been upgraded to the M5 swaybar, for stiffer cornering.
Maintenance: Most maintenance that I have performed was preventative, nothing was actually broken or worn.
