What can I say other than let the pictures and the list of upgrades do the talking. This is a RARE find. Completely and meticulously overhauled by AutoHaus and in SHOWROOM condition 1998 BMW 540i 6-speed that has been wrapped in the total M5 Factory Body Kit including the REAL racing brake air ducts. It was completely retuned by Autothority to the complete M5 fuel remapping package. This is the exact same tuning as from the factory as for the M5. It has everything that you can possibly imagine. I can not drive it without heads turning my way and once I stopped it is a crowd pleaser. It is really something that you must see to appreciate. I upgraded the speedo with one that has all the pixels burning bright and therefore the odometer reads slightly higher miles than is actually on the originally car (205,760). HOWEVER, the engine has been completely overhauled (receipts available) and all head gaskets, valve covers & gaskets and rear seals replaced. Check out the CUSTOM PAINTED VALVE COVERS, THROTTLE BODY AND BRAKE CALIPERS IN HIGH PERFORMANCE POWDER COATED YELLOW. The car's battery (new) stays on a battery trickle charger and completely covered with the top of the line Bavarian Autosport Cover (included) in my private warehouse. The new paint has NEVER felt the rain. In fact, since all the modifications have been completed the car has less than 150 miles on it. It is really a beautiful piece of German engineering and professional modifications. Well, I could go on forever so here is a list of MOST of the upgrades, but I am sure I am forgetting some of the details: 1998 E39 540i 6 speed Upgrades as of 06/07/2010 · Complete OEM M5 Body Kit – Front & Rear Bumpers and Side Skirts & Lower engine cover, brake ducts, wheel liners, etc. – the real deal. · Carbon Fiber M5 Front Spoiler Lower Lip · New Swartz Black Paint job (partial) · Complete window tint package · Rear Wing Spoiler with LED lights · Carbon Fiber Rear Window Spoiler · Sunroof Wind Deflector w/ dual flaps · Side Window Wind Deflectors · Angel Eye HID Headlights · Carbon Fiber Headlight eyelids · Carbon Fiber Kidney Surround with black out kidney nose grill · Carbon Fiber Oil Cap Cover · Carbon Fiber Door handle covers & Pillar Covers · Carbon Fiber rear tag surround · Carbon Fiber E-Brake Handle · Carbon Fiber Digital LCD Shifter knob (Reads “R” for Reverse & “1-6” For Forward Shifts) · Carbon Fiber M5 Steering Wheel Trim · Carbon Fiber Instrument Bezel Surround, Chrome Gauge Rings, & Silver Gauges Overlay · Carbon Fiber Emblems front & rear & steering wheel · European M5 Steering Wheel with Red & Blue Stitching · M5 Red & Blue stitched Shifter & E-Brake leather Boots · M5 Rear Sway Bar & Sway Bar Links · Power Flex Polyurethane Bushings Kit: * FRONT LOWER TIE BAR TO CHASSIS "THRUST" BUSHINGS (4 bushings & 2 SS sleeves) *FRONT INNER TRACK CONTROL ARM "WISHBONE" BUSHINGS (4 bushings & 2 SS sleeves) * FRONT ANTI ROLL BAR MOUNTING BUSHINGS (2 bushings) * REAR ANTI ROLL BAR MOUNTING BUSHINGS (2 bushings) · Beast Power Rear Sway Bar Brackets by TC Design (Red) · New Lower Control Arms and New Heavy Duty Upper Thrust Arm Bushings · New Rear Tower Cross Strut Brace · New Engine & Transmission Mounts · New Montana Leather Center Armrest with storage console · Custom Black Bavarian Auto Plush Floor mats with signature logo · 20” Avanti Black Rims with 245/35 R20 Bridgestone Potenza Tires · New front wheel hubs and bearings · BSW 6 speaker upgrade with Infinity Bass Link Subwoofer · DICE module iPod with KUDA Mount on center consol · Business CD Player Upgrade · New instrument Cluster with Carbon Fiber Bezel surround, silver gauges and chrome rings · DME upgrade to M5 tuning specification from Autothority complete fuel remapping (35HP & 17 ft/lbs torque increase) · Bavarian Autosport High Performance ignition coils & Bosch spark plugs · UCC EVO 3 Short Shifter & DSSR · AFE Cold Air Intake (CAI) · Racing Dynamics Front Strut Tower Cross Brace · Custom Brake Kit: Brembo Slotted & Cross Drilled Rotors, Customize Brake Calipers w/ Brass caliper guide bushings and painted High Performance Bright Yellow w/ PBR ULT Ceramic brake pads · Custom painted High Performance Bright Yellow Valve Covers & Throttle Body · UCC Stainless Steel Teflon covered brake lines · Custom fitted two-tone black & Beige front & rear seat covers · Diesel Audio NS-802CP 8.5" TFT MONITOR DVD Dual Headrests · Original German First Aid Kit with Warning triangle for tool kit · BMW OEM trunk cargo net & cargo straps & EURO Storage Consol · Rear “BMW” Mud Flaps · Custom European License Plate that reads “98 540i” (matches rear License Plate tag number) · Bavarian Auto Ultimate Car Cover with Custom Logo · New battery with warranty (Advance Auto Parts) · LED total interior and exterior light kit · AND several new cup holders · OVER $18,000 in Custom Accessories · Kelly Blue Book Value $6,030 · TOTAL INVESTED IN CAR IS OVER $24,000 If I had to say anything that may be less than perfect it would be that when we repainted the car we only repainted the front and rear ends. After heavy conditioning and polishing to the entire car's exterior my body shop decided that there was no need to paint the entire car. There are very minor blemishes around the driver's door handle but hardly worth mentioning unless you are right up close to the car and look very very very closely at it. Also, the day I took these pictures I had a set of needle nose pliers in my back pocket and when I sat down in the driver's seat it put a small hole in the custom leather seat cover (I only cried for 30 minutes). I made a small repair and it too is barely noticeable, but I want to fully disclose anything about this car that I can think of that may be slightly less than perfect. Other than those two minor mentions, that's it! Please enjoy the pictures and I have a ton more so if you are a serious bidder please email me and I will be glad to send them to you! I have many extra parts either OEM or additional accessories that I did not need or bought extra (ie: door sills, rear wheel bearings, AC compressor & evaporator, bulbs, etc) also included. Car is listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early at any time.On Jun-09-10 at 19:09:30 PDT, seller added the following information: On Jun-09-10 at 19:16:06 PDT, seller added the following information: Please click on the following link to view more detailed pictures on the vehicle: http://www.vuvox.com/collage_express/collage.swf?collageID=02851cbb0d.
