    2001 540iA M Sport FS

    Finally time to get rid of the e39. It’s a daily driver, still in great shape, and very reliable.

    2002 540iA M-Sport package

    Never wrecked
    Timing chain guides and Valley pan gasket replaced.
    Airbag recall has been taken care of.
    Matching BF Goodrich Conti-Sports on staggered rims. Plenty of tread remaining on all 4 wheels. Car has never had uneven wear or alignment issues.
    All electronics/switches/motors work perfectly.

    Akebono Euro ceramics F&R

    There are no major mechanical or cosmetic defects on the car. That being said, it is a 17 year old car (Prod 11/01), and there are minor cosmetic and mechanical issues.

    Cosmetics:
    • It is what I would consider a 10 foot car. Standing more than 10 feet away from the car, the scratches/small dents cannot be noticed. Within 10 feet, they are visible in certain light/angles.
    • Front cup holder is broken.
    • Pixels on gauge cluster and radio are partially dead. Still readable.
    • Sags in headliner above sun visors and on sunroof cover.

    Mechanical:
    • Thrust Arm bushings are worn. Car has the shimmies from 45-60mph.
    • Rear diff bushing needs to be replaced (I have bushing, but have not had time to replace). Rear end will shift under sudden acceleration. Under normal driving it will not shift.

    I am the fourth owner, but have 98% of the service history on the car. I’ve owned the car since 2007, and have over $14K in receipts for service and parts that I have done. Also have factory service info from prior owners. Even have the factory window sticker and full owners manual set. I also have a box of items that will go with the car...Oil/filter, coolant, wiper blades, misc parts, etc.
