Equipped with a 4.4-liter M66TUB44 V8 engine rated at 282 HP and 324 lb.-ft of torque, this 540i features a 6-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels. The car is equipped with sport suspension, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes. A service completed in 2016 included a new water pump, thermostat, and throttle body. The ignition coils, spark plugs, and oil pan gasket were replaced in 2017 and the lower control arms were replaced in 2018. A brake fluid flush was performed in 2023 along with the replacement of the intake manifold gasket. Most recently, the valve cover gaskets were replaced in preparation for sale.

    Nice E39! There is a 2018 service invoice showing an estimate for replacing the upper and lower control arms. I apologize if I missed it, but is there another invoice showing the work was done?
    Thanks - good luck with your auction.

    @redram Thank you, the correction was made.

  • redram 1 month, 2 weeksago

    @Pcarmarket - you may wish to correct the Model under Vehicle Details. This is a 540i not a 520i.

  • TB12 (registered bidder) 1 month, 3 weeksago

    I live in Fla. sold my 2001(I loved it) in 2007,it was-always garaged, rust slowly eating undercarriage, around windowsills, rockers, exhaust etc. Sold it,THIS a beauty but 2001-20024 is 23 years in harsh Florida ocean environments for car longevity. You’re a professional business, please show ANY or ALL rust problems. Computer pixels all working? Last ac service?Can you name who maintained? Smoke free car, important?Last clutch work?Get better carfax with full details on Frontal Crash( seems a90 day repair!).Tire depth? Tire pix? Are you willing to an independent PPI done At my expense? Paint meters? I know it’s not your average HIGHEND/FANCY car for the elite but, better info is better for buyers and dealer reputation, it’s important to car enthusiasts looking for their dream car. I’m a buyer
