    E39 2000 540 Touring - No Longer Available

    E39 2000 540 Touring

    So I've decided to part ways with my beloved touring. I bought it July 2015, and it has served me very well. It had just over 120k on the clock when I bought it from a guy in New York that said it had been his wife's. Since then, I have put many hours into maintenance, repairs, and upgrades.

    Currently 170,xxx miles
    Anthracite
    Beige Leather Interior
    Automatic :(
    Uhaul Class 2 hitch (installed by previous owner.)
    - I have used said hitch to haul a small trailer, and a cargo carrier in the rear. It's really very handy. It's wired up for a 4 pin connector.

    Recent Maintenance/Upgrades:

    3/17( virtually no mileage, as it has been parked since I have a new car):
    -Front Rotors
    -Front brakes
    -Upper and lower front control arms
    -Tie Rod ends
    -Front alignment
    -new rear air suspension level sensors
    -new battery

    8/16 (approx 8k miles ago):
    -rear brakes
    -DDM DJ Auto headlights (6000k HID)

    7/16 (approx 10k miles ago):
    -New Radiator
    -New water pump
    -All new cooling system hoses
    -New fan clutch

    5/16 (approx 15k miles ago):
    -New rear air suspension bags

    4/16 (approx 15k miles ago):
    - ST Coilovers/rear shocks with lowering links
    - Style 5 BBS wheels, painted black and gold, wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact DW 245/45/17

    1/16(approx 20k miles ago):
    -Spark Plugs
    -Front "M" Bumper painted and installed by body shop.

    I'm sure I'm forgetting something here. This doesn't include oil changes and other minors.

    Basically, I don't want to sell her. She's been great. It's the perfect road trip car. But, I have no room. I upgraded to a newer daily, and she has to go. I love this car though. The M62 engine is an amazing piece of machinery. Even paired to an automatic.

    Now, on to the bad:

    -Cracked windshield. Rock chip that slowly crept outward, because it happened in the winter, and I'm sure the hot/cold cycles didn't help.
    -Paint chips in the hood. They're not pretty, and next to the newly painted bumper, looks a bit off. It's nothing abnormal for a car of this age and mileage though.
    -Chipped radiator shroud. Right where the reservoir is. Does not affect anything, as the reservoir is held in place by the stiff upper radiator hose.
    -Minor scuffs and scratches over the car. Nothing major. Nothing that really stands out. Again, normal, given the age and mileage.
    -Self Leveling suspension light is on. I have cleared the fault through INPA. It seems to think one of the sensors is reading off, but I just replaced both of them. Oddly, this doesn't seem to negatively affect the rear suspension. It definitely still self levels. I have hauled a dozen bags of mulch in the back, and when you start it up, it raises it self right back up. It's pretty awesome, actually.
    -The classic instrument cluster missing pixels. As you can see in the photo. It never bothered me enough to get it repaired. It hasn't gotten worse since I've owned it.

    Thanks for looking. Any questions, just ask.
