Sold, pending pickup tomorrow.
Selling my beloved 1995 BMW 540i Sport with 6-speed manual transmission. I have owned it since January 2015, and have put approximately 11,500 miles on it in that time.
I am the fourth owner. I searched for it for a year, and purchased from an enthusiast in Richmond, VA who had owned it since 2001. I'm selling because our needs have changed and it's too nice for a family with two kids and a dog.
Vital Stats/Options:
- 93,XXX miles
- Sport package with electric/heated sport seats, M-Sport suspension, M-System body kit (note, this is not an M-Sport model, which had an active suspension)
- Exterior: Oxfordgruen Metallic (324)
- Interior: Tan Leather (Leder Bison Us/pergament (L3PE))
- Genuine BMW M-System II "Throwing Star" wheels
- Lowered slightly (1/2" rear, 1" front) with Blistein Sports
- Aftermarket 11.9" cross-drilled/channeled brake rotors
The previous owner is a talented DIY mechanic and engineer, and I have detailed records of all maintenance from 2001 to present. In my tenure, I've had it serviced regularly by a local BMW specialty mechanic.
I have done the following maintenance/repairs during the past three years of ownership:
- Regular oil/filter/fluid changes
- Flush/replace brake fluid
- New rear tires
- Replace blower motor (HVAC) switch
- Replace clutch slave cylinder (this week)
It's not perfect. To get to perfect, it will need the following in the next year:
- New front tires
- Most likely a new clutch. It's not slipping yet, but I believe it will likely need doing
- There's a leak in the windshield washer fluid bottle or pump
I'll be getting it detailed and taking more pictures later this week. Will add them as I get to it.
I have seen several of these on BAT and other specialty sites going at $10,000+. With the above needs, I'm asking $8,500.
