1997 BMW 540i

 

This is likely the best E39 you will find.  Enthusiasts know this is one of the best models BMW ever produced.

Up for sale is my 1997 BMW 540i.  It has 36,900 original pampered miles. It has NEVER been rained on, in the rain or snow.  A $54,000 car new. When you see the undercarriage of this car you will think it was rolling down an assembly line in Germany. This car has been a lifelong “garage queen” which was originally ordered and purchased my a fanatical personal injury attorney and car enthusiast who owned five cars, in the extremely desirable color of  Arctic Silver a spectacular color for this body style.  Paint, like the rest of the car is FLAWLESS. I purchased this car from a long customer of Park Ave BMW in New Jersey, and the service manager there told me this was the cleanest, best maintained car they had go through their shop, bar none, regardless of year.  The lucky winner of this car gets TWO sets of WHEELS AND TIRES, FIVE of the original, perfect ones, ON BRAND NEW CONTINENTAL TIRES and FIVE original PERFECT BMW SERIES 42 (Factory supplied by BBS), wheels on BRAND NEW DUNLOP TIRES. Not a spot, scratch, anywhere.

 

If you are so inclined, you can pull up to a light and smoke most Mustangs and Camaros.  This car is a rocket when pushed.

(In 1997, this model outperformed the then-new Corvette C5 in the slalom.)

 

Its engine compartment is immaculate as you can see.

 

It has the original toolkit and all of the tools remain unused.

 

Not a mark anywhere, outside, inside, top, bottom, anywhere.

 

No cracks on the dash and the interior is not faded.

NEVER IN RAIN, SNOW, SALT.  Always a 3rd or 4th car.

 

Sunroof works perfectly.

18 MPG city, 24 MPG highway.

Has all the power equipment, sunroof, Winter Package, heated seats, and rare option – the articulated sport seats, a $1500 option at the time.

 

This vehicle needs absolutely nothing but a new fanatical owner or BWW enthusiast.  It comes with all of the manuals, keys, e.g.

 

This vehicle is garaged at my office location Southwest Florida and is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty, expressed or implied.  I am a private owner, not a dealer.  Currently registered in Rhode Island which does not issue titles for cars of this age (but I have copy of previous New Jersey title and current Rhode Island registration to show proof of ownership.)

 

These 1997-2003 cars are beautiful, elegant, extremely well made and this is one of the finest examples of an E39 you will find.  These are the next classic BMW’s to skyrocket in value and just look at what the earlier versions are going for.  In my opinion, and others schooled in BMW, the E39 is one of the best BMW’s, and one of the best cars, ever made.  You would be hard pressed to find one as perfect as this one.

 

I require a nonrefundable deposit of $1000 immediately via PayPal at the conclusion of the auction, with the balance due in the form of a bank check in five business days.

 

For the price of a tired Accord or Camry, this car is a bargain which will only provide enjoyment and capital appreciation in the years to come.
