1997 BMW 540i
Black
6 speed
4.4L V8
249k Miles
M5 Front and Rear Bumpers+Trims.

Runs great, but I barely drive it, it sits in the driveway almost 7 days out of the week, sometimes I don’t drive it for 2weeks. I wanted to LS1/T-56 swap it, but I’m not in a good position financially to do so.

I’ve put maybe 2,000 Miles since I’ve owned it. It currently needs inspection, check engine light is on due to Knock sensor and O2 sensor. I have the O2 sensors but was affraid with the bad knock sensors it might make it run rich and ruin the O2’s, so I didn’t install them yet.

This is Turbocivs old car and when he owned it he replaced upper gaskets on motor including egr, intake, injector, new valley pan, center support bearing, rear lower control arm.

Since I have owned it, I installed front door speakers, front sports strut mounts, struts, springs and an Eibach rear sway bar 18mm, which larger than the M5 15mm.

I recently changed the oil before an auto cross even, which was a blast! This car has good brakes and tires, doesn’t really need anything but the knock sensors and the blower resister to be almost perfect.

Paint isn’t too bad but has blemishes with the miles. Interior isn’t perfect but it looks pretty good still for the miles/age. This car is awesome for the money, and made 280rwhp so pretty quick too SOUNDS AMAZING!!!

Needs:
Blower motor relay - $50 Easy fix
Knock Sensors - $75
Emergency Brake kinda works but i would leave it in gear.

what do you get for mpgs?

11

It avg like 18-20, thats driving with a heavy foot, it gets great mileage for what it is! Highway the mpg needle hovers around 30mpg and just maintaining speed in the city it’s around that as well.

12

any leaks? and does it have heated seats/do they work?

13

Haha…Need to build another garage before I add to the collection

14

I think it might of had a slight power steering leak but I tightened a clamp that may have been loose on the bottom of the reservoir, it looked a little greasy. Other then that everything seems to be leak free.

Heated seats that both work, heated steering wheel that also works!

15

this is AN good deal for sure.
