***First, please note this a no reserve auction. It will be sold to the highest bidder unless it is sold locally first.*** You are looking at a very low mileage, very well cared for BMW 540i with a 6 speed manual transmission. It'a an amazing touring sedan that comes alive at highway speeds, and is also very fun to drive around town. It needs a few repairs, which is why it is listed at no reserve. It is available for test drives, but for the sake of safety it's recommended to take care of the repairs before covering long distances. The bad: - Needs a new clutch - Needs a valve cover gasket - Needs a single speed sensor (traction control and abs lights on as a result) - Needs 4 new tires (it's drive-able, but long distances are discouraged without a spare) - Several small dings on the body (mostly the top - parking spot under a fruit tree for a season) - 2 bent rims (front), repairable, and drive-able, but vibration at about 50 mph that goes away quickly above 50 The good: - Under 77K miles on a bulletproof BMW V8 engine (should easily go another 100K miles) - Rare 6 speed manual - Sport package - Cold weather package - Gorgeous leather interior - Glass sunroof - Tinted windows - Southern CA car it's entire life - Updated tail lights - All service records available at Palm Springs/Orange County BMW and the M Shop in Eagle Rock SHIPPING: Buyer is responsible for shipping. I will make myself available to help the transaction, but the buyer must setup a company for shipping. ***Posting this for a friend who lost his job, or would otherwise never sell this car. Please email for a contact number and he will follow-up regarding questions/details/test drives. He will also coordinate shipping if you are an out of town buyer that needs assistance with that.***
