1997 Bmw 5 Series 540i E39 White Pearl/tan 4.4l V8 Automatic, Low Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1997 Mileage:178569
Location:

San Diego, California, United States

San Diego, California, United States

RE-LISTED, WITH LOWER RESERVE

 This listing is for a 1997 540i BMW e39,  v8, automatic with the "S" transmission feature
 the car runs good the engine is strong, and so is the transmission
the vehicle has a salvage title due to theft recovery back in 2002

it was repaired and driven and registered in california DMV until 6/11.

it has been unregistered since driven on private property, occasionally turned on for good reasons

i dont want the car anymore, ive done a number of maintenance repairs that come customary to this model vehicle like:
valley pan gasket
vanos gasket service
valve cover gaskets
all of the cooling hoses
fan clutch
cooling system flush
replaced the radiator
transmission service flush
and probably more but thats all i can remember now.

factory rims and tires, the tires have ok tread but i would replace since tires crack over time, the rims are in good condition
the interior is ok, the leather has scuffs but no real tears except for small one on the driver seat back rest.
 mostly everything on the vehicle works as it should

down to the details.

the back rear passenger window elevator is bad
the sunroof went bad a year ago, and i bought the whole replacement mechanism, its ready to install but i dont want to work on it anymore
so i will be included in the sale of the vehicle for the new owner to do, ( i will put it in the trunk)
the paint is custom white with gold pearl, looks really nice. but needs work.  There is cosmetic damage to the front bumper cover and hood, (as you can
see in the pictures)  and the trunk lid has hard scratches and  plenty of paint nicks from placing thins on the trunk.
it will most likely need a new fuel pump, sometime in the near future, i replaced this one many times, BMW's dont like to be parked.
AC blows air but not cold.
The check engine light is on and the code says it needs the O2 sensor. dont remember what bank, but this will need to
be done before it gets smogged for california.

this vehicle is sold as is. with a low reserve
customer to pick up, or some sort of pick up service can be accommodated
the vehicle is in 92111 zip code in a business park.
 i have no problem taking it to a shipping yard/service or such local location
as long as its not too far.

Thank you for looking.

First Ride: 2015 BMW M3 and M4

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Getting Our Butts In The Seats
Both the non-M BMW 3 Series sedan and 4 Series coupe have so far brought much pleasure to us at Autoblog. The terrific four-cylinder 328i trim has become our favorite of the 3 Series line, while we have yet to get a chance at the 428i coupe. That said, the 35i trim powered by a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine is not exactly to be sniffed at.
We all know the ones you're really waiting for, though. The F80 fifth-generation M3 sedan and the supremely sexy F82 M4 coupe. Rumors have been buzzing for a couple of years now that the engine would be another V8, only turbocharged this time, or else a tri-turbo six. Well, today BMW confirmed that the mill under the hood's power bulge is a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo of the biturbo variety, referred to internally as "S55B30 variant."

BMW 2 Series Coupe priced from $33,025* ahead of Detroit debut

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

BMW is definitely going to have its hands full at next month's Detroit Auto Show. The big news might be the debut of the M3 and M4, which were previewed in our Deep Dive, but joining those performance cars under the bright lights will be the all-new 2015 BMW 2 Series Coupe.
While we already know most of the details about the 2 Series and its available M Performance parts, BMW has now announced that the Coupe will go on sale in the first quarter of next year with a starting price of $33,025 (*plus $925 for destination) for the base 228i. This price is about $1,500 more than the current 1 Series Coupe, which starts at $31,500, while the M235i's starting price of $44,025 is almost $500 more than the existing 135is Coupe. There is still no indication as to when we'll see 2 Series Convertible unveiled.
In addition to new M cars and the 2 Series, BMW's display will also reveal another new color-theme package for the Z4. Last year we saw the Hyper Orange package, and this year will give us the Ivory White Burnt Sienna Z4 available in an exclusive Sparkling Brown Metallic exterior paint color. Scroll down for the full press release of production vehicles BMW has planned to showcase at Detroit's Cobo Hall next month.

2016 X6 M brings the power at LA show

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

BMW tore the cover off the second generation 2016 X6 M Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
BMW tuned the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 to push out 567 horsepower, up from the last model's 555 hp. Torque also leaps to 553 pound feet, compared with the previous output of 500 lb-ft. The V8 is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which swaps in for the old six-speed. This potent powertrain allows the crossover to hit 60 miles per hour in about four seconds.
The X6, which features slightly more dramatic styling and an angled rear roofline, debuted alongside the more conventionally styled 2016 BMW X5 M at the LA show.
