Hi,This is an otherwise Excellent BMW. I'm afraid the motor will need major work. So I'm selling it as-is. It does start, but runs really rough. I think the transmission is fine. Catalytic converters were changed about 12,000 miles ago. Radiator blew and was changed at about 55,000 miles Otherwise, you can expect an excellent fully functioning BMW 540i. Original Owner. I have all the records for this.New Brakes and Tires at 82,000 miles.Top of the line Bridgestone Turanza Serenity. In excellent, excellent condition. These Big V8's sometimes die early. mine did. Most do not. The rear bumper has many small marks from parallel parking. Otherwise the body is in great shape. There are a few door dings that I have photographed carefully.The interior is in great shape, the leather is almost pristine for a 12 year old car. It shows the wrinkles, but the color has not faded and there is no cracking/drying. Please feel free to ask questions. Buyer is responsible for storage and shipping after auction closes. Please email me with questions. ----Comment added 6/6/10Someone asked about storage and how quick to pick it up. I could not figure out how to answer public, so here is my response. I would plan to pick it us ASAP as there is a $35/day storage rate at the mechanic's. You might want to get quotes. Mine are $245-$495 from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco. I will share a three day grace period, ie split the $35 for the first three days. As you can see, I'm not looking for top dollar. I just want to get on with my life.
