1999 BMW 540i. Six speed manual transmission with sports package. 300HP and still gets 21MPG overall. Vehicle has been carefully maintained and tastefully modified. Comes with every option available for this year including rare rear side airbags, power rear sunshade as well as folding rear seats with ski pass through. As you can see from the pictures car is in excellent shape inside and out. Non smoker vehicle. No kids, no pets and very little food ever in this car.

Wear Items: Tires have less then 5K on them, Brakes were replaced a few years ago but still have a lot of pad wear left (car just passed state inspection in April with no issues). All belts are under 2 years old. Recent oil change. Engine has no leaks as I have already replaced the valve cover gaskets, valley pan gasket etc. I have never added any oil in between services. All spark plugs and wires were replaced about a year ago. Clutch was replaced about 30k ago and is working perfect.

Modifications:
Exterior: M5 Front Bumper, M3 rear Bumper, Xenon Angel Eye Headlights, Celis LED Taillights, Clear side lights and a rear spoiler. 19in Axis Milano Wheels with newer tires. This BMW visually looks like a 2003. Black and white carbon fiber BMW hood and trunk emblems.

Interior: Upgraded stereo with Pioneer AVIC-N2 Navigation/DVD head unit. Sirius satellite radio. Car is currently wired for a sub. Hardwired for a V1 radar detector as well.

Mechanical: Cold Air Intake, Chipped, and upgraded brakes. Clutch delay valve removed.

Known issues:
1. Driver’s door lock actuator is not working. This means you have to use the key to open the drivers’ door instead of the key fob. All other locks work as they should.
2. Drivers’ side seat shows wear on the bolster. No rips or cuts.
3. Common pixel issue with the dash.

Price: Since finding a 6-speed with these modifications is relatively rare it is hard to know what it is worth. KBB Retail is $12,350, Private Party $9,900 and Trade $7,575. I called my bank to see what they would loan (they use what they call “black book”) and they came back with a max of $12,510. I am pricing it at $9,000 OBO. I have no problem talking price as long as you look at the car in person first. If you would like to have the car inspected by your mechanic I have no problem with that as long as it is relatively close to me (Midvale Utah) and you cover the cost.

Give me call on my cell Eight-Zero-One-Eight –Three-Zero-Nine-Six-Nine- Two.
P.S. If you email me and sound suspicious (Think Scam) I will not respond.

 

Mileage?

 

Mileage is 172k. Also I am open to trades. What I would like to get would be an 02-03 maxima with a 6-speed but I am open to other options. I am not interested in anything older than 2000. Thanks

 

damn what a beauty...

 

Thanks for the compliment. Clean vehicle (i babied it) and pretty fast too.

Need this gone...accepting offers/trades

 

Location? if it had lower mileage, i think i would of made a deal with you.

 

btw, i have a 01 Maxima 88k on it. 5sp. its grey stock other then TE wheels. that i would trade for. pm me if interested.

 

Here is what the interior looks like:


No kids and no pets in this car. No smoking. Very clean. Just installed some new all weather floor mats this week

 

I was almost up for a trade until I saw the mileage...good luck with the sale.

 

Man, if it wasn't for the mileage. That is a very nice car.

 

New price $8,700 obo.

 

$8,499 OBO. Really nice car...

 

$7,999 OBO. Trunk has been dynamated (all of which is out of sight) and I just installed new floor mats.

 

car looks nice,good luck on sale

 

clean clean whip bro n i totally know what it means to babie a car i honestly dont even care about the miles of the car when u take care of it but yet they are high

 

The miles are high because it is so fun to drive Whoever ends up with this car is going to be very happy.

 

Loving this thing but you still haven't listed a location? If close I'd be interested in potentially trading for my 02...

EDIT: Nevermind you're in Utah, didn't catch that at first in the original post. GL with the sale.

 

I will meet you in Illinois...seems like everyone that is interested in this car lives far far away...

 

New price $7,499. Car can be driven anywhere, just needs a new owner.

 

Car is still available. I have had a lot of calls but no one has shown up with cash yet.

 

To answer some of the common questions:
No accidents, clear carfax
No rust whatsoever, paint is shiny and in overall great condition
No curb rash on wheels, about 20,000 miles on them since they were purchased.
Thanks, Steve

 

Damn I want this so much! Put it on layaway for me please!!!?? lol

 

Going to be putting up some new pics soon, just waiting to get ahold of a nicer camera. Any picture requests? Vehicle is hot!

 

Here are a couple pics I took tonight...




Got a ton more

 

now on ebay.

 

wow 172k miles , looks in mint condition, gl with sale

 

Thanks for the comment. Now I got 173k on it. No accidents and it is a very mechanically sound vehicle. I got all (or virtually all) the maintance records since new.

 

VERY CLEAN!!!!! too bad you're far from NYC, we have many 'enthusiasts' looking for traditional 6-spd V8 powered 5-series.. AUTOs are so ubiquitous 'round here

Good luck, great ride, will def make somebody HAPPY

 

Honsetly, if you were closer I would be all over this car. Even with the high mileage, I could justify buying it, and selling my car for a small loss. Good luck with the sale, its a sweet looking car.

 

QFT! No doubt.

 

So tonight I had a guy offer me $4k I told him he was in no danger of purchasing a vehicle. I actually thought it was a little funny. Anyway here are a couple of additional pictures. Sorry about the poor focus my camera seems to be having issues with that.

 

so nice but the freaking miles scare the beejesus out of people for no reason.

G/L with sale.

 

Normally I don't think the miles would scare most people on this site.. But maintenance of a maxima vs maintenance of a bmw is like times 5 lol.. Beautiful car. If I had a steady job i'd trade.
glws, it's obvious she's been babied. 173k and looks like she just walked off the showroom floor..

 

Wow. Really nice car. I think the issue is the price. Not that I would buy it, though. I think BMW is expensive to maintain, unlike the Max I drive.

I would say put it at a very good price and see it gone in 60seconds!

 

Honestly, I think that is a great price. I'm in the market for a 5 series and if this car wasn't so far, I'd be in it for sure.

 

alot of miles but that 540i is looking really good.. there runners good luck on the sale

 

Very nice looking 540!

Why are you selling?

 

I want it

 

Got married and time to lose some of the toys.

 

New price $7100 cash. Its a lot of car for that price.
