1997 BMW 540i

Featuring a 4.4L V8, the E39 540i is a hidden gem in BMW’s lineup and this one was optioned with a proper three-pedal manual. It sports Bilstein dampers for more predictable handling, H&R springs for a proper ride height, Eibach sway bars to keep it flat in the corners, and a M5 steering box for better steering feel. While this example has accumulated some miles, these cars are known for their build quality and longevity and this one looks to have been kept it particularly good shape. Includes maintenance receipts.

    Car history report

    Reported accidents are collisions that have been recorded by Carfax and AutoCheck through police reports or insurance claims. 

    Accidents usually aren’t deal-breakers, but they can affect the condition and value of the vehicle. We always recommend Carfax and AutoCheck reports followed by a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) - even if there are no accidents listed as some accidents go unreported.
