In Search of e39 540i manual close to California

[jacobpowell716]

Currently own a 2002 525i. In search of a manual 540i somewhere close to Los Angeles, California. Have a few I've seen but wondering if anyone here is selling some that I haven't seen posted elsewhere

Are you still looking? I'm in the Phoenix area and am about to put my 99 540i6 up for sale. 81k miles. Drives like a dream. .needs a couple things. Both rear window regulators. Needs both rear wheel speed sensors. ..I have them just haven't got the chance to put in. Also have spark plugs. .was getting ready to change. .not needed but was getting ready to do a few maintenence things. I have changed oil every 5-6k since I got it with 19k miles.
Interior is in excellent condition. ..no cracks in leather or wood trim. Headliner is loose in a couple spots but not noticeable unless pointed out. Has ACS type 2 (I think type 2) wheels with matching spare. Not sure what to ask for it. ...

I’m thinking of putting my beloved 2003 540 6-speed M-tech up for sale. There were a total of 1,265 of the 2003 540i, 6-speed, //M-tech's made for the US market, and they were only made in 2003. (That is less than the number of M5 made that year.) They were given their own series of VIN numbers ranging from WBADN53423GF70811 - GF72075 . (Mine is GF71306, making it #496/1265). They have many features that other E39 owners spend thousands of dollars trying to duplicate and those of us lucky enough to own one think they are quite special. I love the car dearly, but at age 75 can’t do all my own maintenance, and am considering something with new safety features.

It is Metalic Black Sapphire with dove gray interior. 108k miles. I purchased the car in 2005 (second owner). I have 13 years of maintenance records. Body condition is much better than average with paint condition excellent and just a couple small dings. The lower air dam on the front bumper is cracked due to a recent encounter with some debris on the interstate. Interior has 60/40 fold-down rear seats and power sunshades. No rips, tears or other damage on any seats. A little wear just beginning to show on some raised piping on drivers seat. The rest of the interior is in pristine condition.

Only BMW certified full synthetic oil has ever been used, with oil changes at 7500 or less. I have been using Evans waterless coolant in the car for several years, and will include a couple extra gallons. I have tried to keep tha car in top condition and maintained as close to stock as possible. I put an M5 short shift kit in and removed the CDV, added a European center console with storage bin. Anytime anything was modified in anyway, I have the original parts. A full set of Bentley service manuals will also be included.
