    2003 540i TOURING M-SPORT - $9500.

    165,XXX miles
    Schwarz 2 / Black Interior
    All service records going back to 2011 (prior to 2011 vehicle history at dealer).
    Completely stock except for Titanium Trim.
    All factory options except for Cold Weather Package.
    Clean Carfax and clean CA title.
    Car has never been in an accident.

    PROS
    1 of 182 2003 540it with the M-Sport option.
    A SoCal car, adult owned (since new).
    Always garaged and serviced at factory intervals.
    Everything works, no dead pixels on dash.
    Body good condition, with typical wear from a 15 year old car (7 or 8 out of 10). All original paint except for the front + rear bumpers and the rear quarter panel (which was professionally resprayed back in 2011 to get rid of rock chips and a parking lot scuff/dent)
    Interior in great condition, no rips or tears in the leather (8 out of 10)—the C pillar fabric is the only blemish.

    Recent maintenance includes:
    164K Replaced Vanos solenoids
    164K New Engine Wiring Harness
    164K New tailgate struts
    164K New sunroof guides
    162K New transmission, and trans mounts
    150K New radiator (including expansion tank, fan clutch, hoses and thermostat)
    146K New drive shaft
    146K Replacedmotor mounts
    129K Replacedstrut rod bushings
    129K Replacedrear cross member bushings
    129K Replacedrear axl mounts
    110K/127K Replaced both rear air suspension springs

    CONS
    Passanger seat has developed the E39 twist
    Has typical 540 oil leaks (from timing chain cover gaskets).
    Timing chain guides are original, but no rattle on start-up.
    Fabric on interior pillars is pulling away (just a little on the A and B pillars, more significant on the C pillars)

    Thanks
