First of all, thanks to everyone who has helped me with the various questions I've had. On Saturday, I flew from Minneapolis to Chicago to pick up a 2002 540it. It has 219,000 miles but it's been very well maintained. New driveshaft, brakes, valve guides recently that I know of. The cooling system looks relatively new. I have a lot of the service records and am waiting to get some more from the PO so I can put together a history.
I have a list of fix's to work through but it's winter here in MN so most will probably wait until spring / summer.
Tailgate struts, pixel fix etc. Anyways, I wanted to share some pictures and say thanks to everyone so far! Hopefully as I get to know more I can start to contribute some answers instead of just questions!
