THIS IS A NO RESERVE LISTING.

This is my excellent 1998 BMW 540i Sport 6-speed with an AC Schnitzer M5 body kit, M5 wheels and performance upgrades.  With an estimated 350 horsepower, killer looks and excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, this car is really exceptional.  You can look at this car one of two ways: either this is the best 540i Sport 6-speed you'll ever find, or darn close to an M5 for a lot less money.

This car has 109,811 miles but it looks and drives like a car with 40,000 miles.  You'll see me use many superlatives throughout this description, because of the truly excellent condition of this superb car.

I am a huge BMW enthusiast and I've owned nearly every significant BMW produced in the past 30 years.  This particular car is hands-down, one of the finest BMWs I've ever driven.  The looks, the power, the sound, the brakes, the handling, the comfort and reliability are all just superb.  This is about as close as you can get to an M5 without spending huge money.

This car has been serviced and upgraded by a nationally-renowned BMW specialty shop in our area.  The man who worked on the car is a worldwide BMW expert and has been called on to write numerous articles for "Roundel" the BMW Car Club of America's magazine.  So you know that all the work done to the car was done right, and no corners were cut. 

This car has the following factory equipment:

  • 4.4L V8 engine
  • 6-speed manual transmission
  • factory Sport package
  • power moonroof
  • leather and heated Sport seats
  • AM/FM CD and cassette premium audio system with DSP
  • automatic climate control with A/C (blows cold)
  • anti-lock brakes
  • Dynamic Stability Program
  • front and side airbags

In addition, the car has the following upgrades:

  • AC Schnitzer M5 body kit
  • UUC short shift kit (amazingly tight, short throws)
  • lowered performance suspension
  • 18" M5 wheels with Goodyear Eagle GT tires
  • AFE Magnum Force cold air intake
  • JET performance tuning chip
  • OBX-R stainless steel dual exhaust
  • "angel eyes" HID headlights and updated signals at all four corners
  • cross-drilled brake rotors on all four wheels

I also have the original books and owner's manuals in their original case.

This car is in truly outstanding condition.  The paint and body are excellent, the paint is gorgeous and the body is straight and clean.  There is very little in the way of stone nicks, etc- this car is superbly clean.  The 18" M5 wheels have no curb rash and they're in great condition. The AC Schnitzer M5 body kit fits perfectly and the pieces have super high-quality paint to match the car.

The interior of this car is nearly unbelievable- there is literally no wear and no signs of age.  The leather seats are nearly like new with no wear, and the interior plastics, upholstery and wood are superb.  The interior of this car look like that of a 2 year old car. 

The mechanical condition of this 540i is excellent.  The engine, transmission, suspension, etc are working great. The car has no known mechanical issues and it drives exceptionally well.  The engine is smooth and hugely powerful.  The engine sounds outstanding with a great V8 rumble due to the cold-air intake and stainless free-flow exhaust system.  The handling is amazingly tight and sharp without being harsh.  Everything is "tight" on the car, the suspension, steering, brakes, transmission, etc.  There is nothing loose or sloppy about the car- it is precise, tight and solid in every way- again it feels like a car with 40,000 miles. 

This is a 1998 car and as such it is not brand new.  While this is a great car, please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car.  This is a list of anything and everything I know of that is wrong with the car: the center display which shows the onboard computer/ odometer is hard to read (common for these cars), the airbag light is on, and the sunroof does not open.  That's it.  This is a superb, great-condition performance machine that you'll enjoy every minute of driving. 

The car currently has 109,811 miles but this will increase as I'm planning to take this car for a trip this weekend.  Incidentally, this car is totally reliable, dependable and fully mechanically sound.  There are absolutely no known mechanical problems, and I'd trust this car to drive to California and back. 

This BMW has a clean and clear OH title ready to transfer.

You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home, or you can have the car shipped.  Please call Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481 for a shipping quote.

This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH.

Autoblog's June 2019 Editors' Picks

Wed, Jul 10 2019

Each year we review, test and rate hundreds of brand-new cars, trucks and SUVs. We rate these vehicles using the Autoblog score, giving a select few our Editors’ Pick. Here are the best cars we drove in June 2019. 2019 BMW 8 Series Everyone on the Autoblog staff loves a good grand tourer, so we were excited to get behind the wheel of the revived BMW 8 Series, specifically an M850i Coupe. A good GT needs to be as fast as it is stylish and comfortable, and the new 8 Series delivers. We particularly like the 523-horsepower twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8Â’s copious power and smooth ride quality, even on MichiganÂ’s pockmarked post-winter roads. We dig the interior design, too, though not everyone was in love with the exterior. ItÂ’s not the best-handling car in its class, and doesnÂ’t hide its sizable proportions very well, but itÂ’s still worth a look if youÂ’re looking for a big, fast cruiser.  2019 Ford Expedition Crossovers may be the hottest vehicles on the market, but thereÂ’s still a sizable demand for traditional body-on-frame SUVs like the Ford Expedition. These behemoths offer plenty of space in addition to truck-like capability. We like the Expedition's smooth ride, powerful twin-turbo V6 and sharp exterior design, though the interior can feel a bit cheap, especially on some of the more expensive trims. Adding options quickly puts it into Lincoln Navigator territory, and itÂ’s hard to recommend the Ford over the Lincoln when the latter packs the same capability into a far nicer package. Still, the Expedition is as good or better than the competition in most respects, and thatÂ’s why itÂ’s one of our picks. 2019 Toyota 86 Few cars at any price point are as much fun as the Toyota 86 (and its twin, the Subaru BRZ). We like the 86Â’s balanced chassis and sharp steering, and while itÂ’s not as nimble as its close rival the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the ToyotaÂ’s back seat and trunk make it a more usable vehicle. But while we like the 86Â’s driving position, the rest of the interior feels cheap and dated, especially the infotainment system. We complained about the anemic powertrain back in 2012, and itÂ’s only gotten worse as the years have gone by.

2014 BMW 4 Series convertible spotted

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

We've seen a few spy shot packages featuring the upcoming BMW 4 Series Convertible already, but never with the car quite so naked as in this latest batch. Nabbed just outside the BMW Nürburgring workshop in Germany, this Melbourne Red 4 Series also shows the M Sport package for the first time.
With all of the cladding removed, we can see that the convertible shares the 4 Series coupe's great-looking nose and front end, though the resolution of that folding hard top into the rear bodywork remains a bit harsh.
With the 4 Series coupe now completely official, we have a pretty good idea of what the powertrain lineup for the 'vert will be. We'll be pretty surprised if a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo aren't the go-to engines at launch. Production of the droptop is likely to begin at the end of the year, so start bugging your local BMW dealer.

2014 BMW 328d rated at 32/45 mpg

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

BMW still hasn't released official fuel economy numbers for its diesel-powered 2014 328d, but now, those mileage ratings have been posted on the EPA's FuelEconomy.gov website. As expected, the 328d is quite an efficient little machine, with the rear-wheel-drive sedan good for 32 miles per gallon in the city and 45 mpg highway. That even bests the 30/42 mpg of the smaller Volkswagen Jetta TDI.
The last time BMW offered a diesel 3 Series in our market, it was the six-cylinder 335d, which - while mighty quick and excellent to drive - was only offered as a rear-wheel-drive sedan and was rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. For 2014, BMW will offer the 328d with optional xDrive all-wheel drive, though that reduces the fuel economy numbers to 31/43 mpg. Beyond that, the BMW will even sell you a 328d xDrive wagon, which nets the same 31/43 mpg rating, according to FuelEconomy.gov.
Look for the 2014 BMW 328d to hit dealerships this fall, and when it launches, it will be the only diesel offering in its class (until the next Mercedes-Benz C-Class arrives, anyway). Lexus and Infiniti will offer hybrid versions of the IS and Q50, respectively, but we've always had a taste for torque, and the 328d's 2.0-liter engine with 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of twist shouldn't disappoint.
