    03 540i M-Sport Garage Queen in St. Louis

    2003 540i M-Sport
    6 speed, Titanium silver, black leather
    94k miles, lots of interstate, garage queen
    No snow or salt, tasteful mods, enthusiast owned, non-smoker
    $17k - no tire kickers please.

    I’m really going to regret this one day, but relocating requires me to replace two of my cars with one that’s more practical.

    For more info on M-Sports check out this really informative website:
    http://www.kenrockwell.com/bmw/540.htm

    Options
    M-Sport Package
    Premium sound
    Rear sunshades
    Fold-down rear seat w/ ski bag

    Interior – immaculate. The only flaw is a small hairline crack on the CD player trim piece and the change box in the door does not work. The floor mats are even nearly perfect.

    Exterior – near perfect. No rock chips and very very straight body.

    Mechanical – like new. Dealership and specialty shop maintained. This was my spoiled baby and it’s been treated as such. Everything is done right, no lingering concerns about workmanship.
    Details:
    2008
    -clutch
    -flywheel
    -slave cylinder
    -shifter
    Early 2009
    -ENTIRE cooling system including the dreaded valley pan gasket
    -valve cover gaskets
    -PS hose
    -driveshaft with center support bearing
    -repaired cluster for missing pixels (VDOrepair.com)
    Summer 2009
    -BFG Potenza tires (all 4) corners

    -front rotors
    -Hawk pads
    -SS brake lines

    Modifications
    -UUC lightened flywheel with V12 (850i) clutch conversion for better feel and increased clutch life. Gear changes with this and the shifter are just magical!
    -Rogue shifter and weighted selector rod
    -TMS Conforti cold-air intake with heat shield (have original air box)
    -ASA AR1 wheels (8.5x18frt 9.5x18rr – factory size), excellent shape, no curb rash

              Thanks - I caught the ice flow at just the right time. We had about a 3 hour window of sun and it was just gorgeous out!

                My dad had one of these Black/Black with a auto, i remember how i wanted to get it and put a M5 badge on it, god i was gay back then

                those things are still sick now no doubt, but i am glad they are bringing the M-Sportpack back now:)

                  Beautiful e39!

                  One of the most perfect examples I've ever seen.

                  You're asking an M5 price.....but I think you'll probably get it! Just be patient for the right buyer to come along. GLWS!

                    Thanks for the compliments guys, FYI I dropped the price to $17k. The price is still at the higher end, but from the other examples I've seen for sale, they haven't put the money into it that I have.

                    I'm available to show it in STL area or Indianapolis. I just listed it in Roundel with a photo this week.

                    Will consider trades for Jeep SRT8 :)

                      Im actually in the market for one of these, or a 530i sport. But for 17K, youre wild. They can be found all day, one owner, clean carfax, full service history for 12-13K
