BMW 1999 540it (touring / wagon) v8 sport package
111k California car. No rust.
Black leather interior with burlwood
Automatic with tiptronic
Style 59 staggered wheels 18x8, 18x9
Spare m-parallel wheel.
Automatic adjusting air suspension in good working order.
Heat, AC both running strong. Heated front seats.
Runs great, shifts great in both automatic and manual mode.

Recent upgrades:

  • Removed purple tint, Ceramic 20% tint with no questions asked lifetime replacement warranty (transferrable) from Dr. Tinto ($350)
  • Front bumper had a crack in the bottom, previous owner put a unpainted lip over it. I installed a newly painted oem bumper. ($400)
  • Optional BBS CXR 19x8.5 19x9.5 wheels with new Michelin Pilot Sports, 20mm spacers. ($3500)
  • Replaced front center tie rod link (lemforder). ($200) and I will get it aligned.
  • Upgraded OEM m5 Hella xenon with Orion v2 led angel eyes. ($1200)
  • New ignition switch ($90)


Cons:
  • VANOS tick at idle which marginally reduces fuel economy - however it still pulls hard - it will surprise you for a wagon! Sounds like a diesel truck sometimes. This is a known issue with all e39's including the M5 - not an impending catostrophic event, but the engine light is on because of this. I will include new vanos seals from dr. vanos included for replacement.
  • Small area of clear coat cracking on the hood. Some paint chipping under roof rack on drivers side. Needs a good buff.
  • Passenger wheel came off and dented the rocker and fender due to a out of spec torque wrench :\. I have a replacement fender liner, black fenders are $100 at several local junkyards, and the rocker is easily pulled out by a body shop as the rocker metal is thin - which I will address eventually and price will increase

$6000 obo + $ for bbs wheels.

Trades:
IS300, Legacy GT, Miatas, M5's of any vintage, Starter motorcycle (anything goes, nothing too big, i like older bikes)
Will add cash or subtract parts accordingly. I also have a modified 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 GT (needs some body work) to throw in the mix.
