Hi, eBayers! Up for sale is my 2003 BMW 540i M Sport, with a desirable 6-speed transmission, black on black color scheme, and a clean-as-a-whistle history. I'm moving to a colder climate, which is the primary reason I'm selling this car. Affectionately called the "Baby M5" by some, here's a great chance to get into a well-maintained vehicle with those classic BMW E39 body lines. Make no mistake: there's plenty of room to go fast, too!
Take a look at the pictures, ask me any and all questions, and please note highlights and issues below. I'm a car guy and open, honest transactions are a must for me.
Here's a great rundown: http://www.kenrockwell.com/bmw/540.htm
Pictures galore: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ytm1vanj35y3tye/y__Njf4Iay
- most notable: the check engine light is on, reporting a failing oxygen sensor which I've replaced. In no way is the car's performance affected, but buyer beware: if you live in a county/state with emissions tests, this car will not pass and you will be unable to register the vehicle! Currently, this car doesn't have valid registration, but most states typically give an in-transit grace period as long as you keep the title and bill of sale on hand.
Highlights:
- extensive service history at reputable, independent shop
- I'm the second "real" owner, though the history may show three
- head gaskets and cooling system work, typical big repairs (>$2500) for this motor, are already done
- recently-installed OEM front brakes and all four tires
- runs like a bat out of hell, averages 22 miles per gallon with mostly highway driving at 85 miles per hour
- DSP audio system sounds awesome and with aftermarket parts, can integrate with the iPhone
- no dead pixels on the instrument cluster and climate control, about 50% dead on the radio
- desirable color, transmission, body style and kit combination
Known issues:
- missing rear door brake on the driver side (that holds the door open), which is a $15 part and a couple hour repair
- the passenger xenon headlamp just burnt out
- both front seats twist (this is a common and relatively easy repair), Google "bmw e39 seat twist" and check these links:
My mechanic thinks this may be a failing catalytic converter but, absent any spare parts to swap and test, there really is no way to fully diagnose without installing a new part. This doesn't make personal sense because, as mentioned, I'm moving. If you're in a non-emission county/state and a check engine light doesn't bother you, you can get yourself a heckuva car! Again, ask me questions: I don't want to scare you away but must be up-front and honest.
Transaction details:
- full payment required on or before pickup
- payment methods accepted: cash, wire transfer, cashier's check/personal check (all checks must clear before you get the keys and the title)
- this car is for sale in other channels, and I reserve the right to end the listing at any time

Morgan Plus 8 Speedster hits the track versus BMW R Nine T
Mon, Sep 29 2014Evo is back at it with its car-versus-bike races, following up on the all-British Jaguar/Triumph battle from last weekend with an (almost) all-BMW affair, pitting the German brand's stylish and vintage-looking R Nine T against the British-built, BMW-powered Morgan Plus 8 Speedster. Unlike last week's battle, though, we're guessing this contest will be quite a bit more even. See, the F-Type had 380 horsepower and plenty of body fat to haul about. The Morgan, though, is nearly as powerful (367 ponies) and is far lighter, at around 2,200 pounds. The BMW, meanwhile, isn't quite the track star that the lightweight Triumph Street Triple R. You'll need to check out the video to see whether two wheels or four wheels will prevail. Have a look. News Source: EVO via YouTube BMW Convertible Motorcycle Performance Videos evo
134K BMW 5 Series recalled for taillight issue
Fri, 20 Sep 2013BMW is voluntarily recalling 134,100 cars due to a faulty ground terminal in the taillight bulb carriers, causing the sudden failure of brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights. The recall covers 2008 through 2010 5 Series models produced between March 1, 2007 and December 31, 2009, and includes everything from the 528i to the mighty, V10-powered M5. It's unclear if this recall is limited to sedans or extends to the 5-Series Touring.
There have been no reported cases of injuries, fatalities or crashes associated with the taillight issue. BMW will be issuing recall notices to affected owners in the coming weeks, asking them to report to dealers so that the bulb carriers on the taillights can be replaced. All repairs are, naturally, free of charge. Scroll down for the official recall notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
BMW rolls out new M4 safety car for DTM
Mon, 05 May 2014Ever since revealing the M4 on nearly five months ago, BMW has been hard at work getting its new muscle coupe out on the track. It's made a touring-car version to compete in DTM and a safety car to set the pace at MotoGP races, and now it's combined both into a new safety car for DTM as well.
The ninth M4 on the DTM grid is based on the production version, but fitted with numerous upgrades over the course of a two-month conversion process. For starters, it's been equipped with nearly exterior component from the M Performance Parts catalog, including the quad-tipped exhaust, front splitter, rear spoiler and diffuser, blacked-out grille, special mirror caps, side sills... the works. But that's not the end of the story.
BMW M GmbH also gutted the interior, removing the rear bench and replacing it with a roll cage. It's got a pair of Recaro racing buckets with Schroth harnesses, plus special LED emergency lighting, radio communication system and, of course, special livery (albeit nowhere near as cool as the MotoGP one) to distinguish it as the official safety car when it makes its debut at the Nürburgring on August 17.
