Vehicle description
This has to be one of the cleanest 18 year old BMW wagons in the country. We have driven E39 540iT since 2001, and have been well served. There is NOTHING similar to this vehicle available for purchase today, even from BMW. everything is SUV"s. The 540iT E39 model is extremely rare (just do an search) and highly sought out. It handles and performs like a sports car (296 horsepower and 300+ ft lbs torque) while carrying 5 passengers and a bunch of cargo in the rear.
We have lovingly cared for this beautiful vehicle during our ownership. It has always been garaged, so the paint is in exception condition. . no cracking, peeling, or checking, and still remains much of its original luster. The wheels are in beautiful condition with only minor curb rash on one. Tires have about 10,000 miles on them, and spare is in great condition.
Interior is immaculate. no significant stains on carpets or floor mats or headliner. All leather seats are in beautiful condition with no rips, tears, or broken stitching. Of course the 540iT comes with electric sunroof as well.
All systems are functional except the front windshield washer, which needs a new plastic line to the nozzles (we"ll leave that task to the next owners). All digital displays have been sent off for overhaul (missing digits is one of the few E39 weak issues) and every digit is as new.
The car has never been smoked in. These engines have a reputation of going 300,000 miles without major overhaul, and this one seems destined to meet that milestone. There is no engine smoke or leaks, and the transmission shifts as smoothly as new. This is a Texas car, and there is no hint of any sort of rust anywhere on the body, either exterior or underneath.
This car comes with all the manuals that came from the factory, and, as near as I can tell, all the original factory tools (not many) and tire-changing equipment.
Within the past year and 2,000 miles the car has has the following repairs, which address the few common failure issues of the E39: Both rear door hydraulic support struts replaced (a complicated and expensive job) New aluminum radiator New water pump and thermostat New coolant header tank Valve cover gaskets replaced (a common issue, and an expensive job) O2 sensor replaced (Left side). A new right side O2 sensor will be included, but is not deemed necessary to change at this time New timing chain tensioner Recent servicing. oil/filter state inspection to be completed prior to sale External TPMS (tire pressure monitor system) installed (No OEM TPMS was offered in 2003). Solar power dash status display (see pics) This beautiful car is destined to provide the next owner many miles and years of pleasurable and trouble-free enjoyment.
The only known current issue, other than windshield washer discussed above: On occasion when starting on a cold morning, the engine idles roughly for about 2-3 minutes, then it smooths out and performs perfectly afterward. It hasn"t been a frequent-enough occurence for our mechanic to track it down.
I encourage a personal inspection, and will cheerfully offer a 100% refund BEFORE the vehicle actually leaves my possession. Of course, after that time, I have no control over the buyer"s treatment and offer NO warranty nor refund after it leaves my hand.
I"m happy to coordinate with an independent local inspector, and to work with a shipper (shipping, of course, will be at buyer"s expense)
There are many more, much larger high resolution photos of this car taken within the past week, and can be viewed at:
