2004 BMW 545i Manual 6-speed - 20" rims - NO RESERVE! Full Body Wheels Seats Doors Instruments Other Damage Vehicle Specifications Year: 2004 Make: BMW Model: 545i Color: Silver / Black Mileage: 129,945 miles MPG: City: 17 – 18 Highway: 24 – 26 Kelly Blue Book Value: $13,827 - $14,327 Engine Type: DOHC 32-valve V8 4.4L Displacement: 268 cu in, 4398 cc Power: 325 bhp @ 6100 rpm Torque (SAE): 330 lb-ft @ 3600 rpm Transmission: 6-speed manual w/OD Wheels: Zenetti 20", staggered, 3-piece Tires: Rear - 275/30ZR20, Front - 245/35ZR20 Vehicle Details I purchased this vehicle in April, 2011. I have, since, put approximately 2,500 miles on it. It came as you see it now, except it's been detailed plus some maintenance. I scooped-up this vehicle quickly, as I've always wanted the 6-speed manual 545i...plus it has pimp 20" rims! But, the key is the stick-shift...so much fun to drive! This vehicle has much less wear-and-tear than expected. There are slight chips/scratches in the paint from dust and rock particles in the desert. As well, there are five notable issues (see damage pictures): A noticeable scratch on the driver's side. A cupholder is broken (it's in the trunk). A cigarette lighter frame got pushed in. A rear lighter is missing the cap. Modest curb-rash on rear wheel. All-in-all, this vehicle will greatly exceed your expectations for one of its age and mileage. It is fun to drive and has a seriously kick-butt stereo in it! Seriously, it rocks. If you're a low-mileage driver like me, this vehicle will not depreciate much at all (IF at all). Manual 545i's are NOT a dime a dozen...they are sought. This vehicle is in better shape than when I purchased it. It has had a complete oil recharge/change and belts replaced, as well as other maintenance updates. The interior has been thoroughly enhanced using the primo Zymol leather cleaner and conditioner. It has also received a full detail prior to sale. The overwhelming selling point, though, is the fact that it looks SWEET and is absolutely FUN TO DRIVE! Seriously! I replaced this vehicle with an M5 with SMG, and I miss the raw control of the TRUE manual stick shift! Used Vehicle This is a used vehicle. I am not the first owner. Therefore, I cannot guarantee anything. Thus, this is 100% an AS-IS sale. However, I was informed by the selling dealership that it was owned by a gentleman from Texas who routinely drove between Texas and California (hence the miles). As well, since I've owned it, I've taken good care of it. It's been fun, and although I have an M5 now, I will miss it (those rims are stellar). Problem is, the wifey cannot drive a stick lol ;) Ask Questions If you have any questions not covered in this ad, please feel free to contact me (email me for my cell #). I have sold two vehicles through eBay: A boat and motorcycle (I had originally mentioned the sales of a car, but that was through another site). All deals have gone very smoothly. It's OK to be wary. Check my history — do your due-dilligence. You'll find that you simply cannot find a better deal on such a sweet ride, while also knowing that you're buying from a legitimate seller with quality eBay experience. Don't Miss Out! I jumped on this car as soon as I saw it. A manual 545i is not easy to come by. The thrill in driving a BMW with a stick again simply was too much to handle! I know you want this car. However, if you need more pictures or info to help you to be sure, please let me know. I also still have the original 4000x3000 pixel images if you need them. Happy bidding! YES! I am a private seller! I am a private seller who is adding extra effort, because this car deserves to be in the right hands: Those that appreciate the freedom of a stick behind power and beauty! Also, this is the E60 body style which was not updated until 2010. So, no one will be able to guess what year this vehicle is. It's in such great shape that, likely, they will assume it's a 2008+. Images As you can see, this beauty simply does NOT look its age. Being a desert-valley vehicle, it has no rust, salt damage, etc. NOTE: The date in the pictures is in European format: Day first. IMPORTANT: This car has heavy window tint (appropriate for desert climate). Please, be sure that you are aware of your State's requirements regarding tint, as they might have you remove it (in lesser accommodating States). Wheels These Zenetti 20" rims are simply sweet. Solid black background w/chrome trim, 3-piece and staggered. Let's just say you get major looks with these wheels! Yes, there is some slight curb-rash on one, but, honestly, it's to be expected and it does not detract from their beauty. As well, the car has been lowered to further increase the sweet look! Seats The interior leather is actually in awesome shape. There is essentially NO wear...no "spots" nor cracks that you will see. Take a peek at the photos to see for yourself (click the pic to enlarge in another window). Doors Not much to say here other than look at the pictures and notice that they're in the same condition as the seats. Both rear-side windows have the dual-blind system, and the rear has the electric, front-controlled shade. Instruments You can see the mileage on the speedo, as well as see that everything functions and looks as expected. Other Here are the rest of the pictures of the vehicle. Damage There are five items that are notable with respect to damage. A noticeable scratch on the driver's side approximately 18" in length. A cupholder is broken (it's in the trunk). A cigarette lighter frame got pushed in. A rear cigarette lighter is missing the cap. Modest curb-rash on rear wheel. This vehicle is being sold AS-IS by a private seller. Buyer, please be sure you have reviewed all details and asked all questions prior to bidding.

The dealership did not provide me with any other documents.The vehicle does have minor oil leaks. The tech at N. Scottsdale BMW said it might not worth the cost to make the repairs due to the age of the vehicle. However, he did state his opinion that it would likely be fine for the life of the vehicle...just keep an eye on fluid levels.Carfax, AutoCheck and the dealership says no accidents. I have not had any form of accident. I have seen any evidence of any body repairs, but I'm not an expert.As far as I can tell, this vehicle has been a non-smoking vehicle. I do not smoke.There is currently no buy-it-now option for this ad. However, I will entertain offers.On May-03-12 at 12:12:27 PDT, seller added the following information: The vehicle was emission tested @ purchase time. The tags were just renewed a month ago-ish, and emissions testing was not required.There are no mechanical defects. The horn, however, sporadically would go off at extreme cold temperatures. It's never really cold here, so it only happened a couple of times.
