    '95 540i-6 $3500

    SOLD!

    Rare 6-speed model. This is a fantastic car, but it is time to let it go. I have owned it for 2.5 years. It was my daily driver until about 6 months ago but it hasn't been driven much since then. When I bought the car it had 125k miles on it and it has been a great driver requiring little work. It now has 151k on it. I am a long time BMW enthusiast (this is my 7th BMW) so i know what makes these cars tick and what kind of care they need. Rest assured I took good care of this vehicle and it has many many miles left in it!

    The good:
    • Runs great
    • In very good condition for its age
    • Plenty of power
    • 6-speed manual trans!
    • Decent fuel economy for a V8 powered luxury car (25 hwy)
    • New water pump, radiator, thermostat, hoses @120k
    • New Oxygen sensors @ 130k
    • New Plugs and coil boots @ 150k
    • New battery @ 150k
    • Cold AC (I commuted to St George in this car)
    • Refreshed front suspension (all front control arms and bushings replaced with OEM
    • parts) @ 135k
    • Vogtland sport springs installed in front (ride really nice and lowered the car a tiny bit. I have the original
    • springs)
    • 17x9 E39 style 32 wheels with very good 255/40/17 Hankook Evo V12 tires
    • HID light conversion
    • Z3 1.9 Shift lever and ZHP knob
    • Passed Salt Lake county emissions inspection with no problem year before last (no
    • emissions testing since I moved to Southern Utah).


    The bad:
    • Clutch is getting weak (I will provide a Sachs clutch kit with sale)
    • Slight power steering leak from reservoir
    • Coolant smell when heater runs (heater core needs replacement)
    • Seat twist issue (seat back twists when reclined. Annoying, but common for E34)
    • Radio display died, but radio still functions.
    • Drivers door hinge is squeaky, may just need some grease.
    • Engine fan came apart and damaged the hood. (Damage can be seen in attached
    • picture)
    • Cruise control cable was also damaged by fan destruction.
    • Small crack in upper windshield (still passed safety last month)
    • Glove box hinge broken
    • Drivers side rear window motor is dead
    • Cracked rear bumper cover
    • I never got around to installing rear springs
    • Cracked drivers low beam lense
    • Pass side lower trim damaged (I think it might just have a broken clip)


    Car is located in Cedar City, Utah and available immediately. First come first served. Fly in to Cedar City and drive it home. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car anywhere. I would also be willing to deliver the car as far as So-cal for the right buyer. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

    SOLD!
