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.

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)
