Strubaru knows their stuff
Default FS: 1999 bmw 540i e39 executive 4.4L V8 steptronic

its a sad sad day but its time for the big bustin v8 to make way for a practical family wagon, details:

Black paint, black leather, black shadowline trim, brushed aluminium interior trim (no ugly woodgrain here)

Very unique colour/trim combo, black leather is in great condition, no cracks or scratches like seen in just about all cream or grey leather of this vintage

It has full service history from brand new

I’ve replaced a heap of stuff in the past year:

Cross drilled & slotted front & rear brake rotors + new ceramic pads… dust free
Very rare genuine AC schnitzer 17” wheels (proper e39 offset) with near new 235 tyres
Facelift angel eye headlights
New engine mounts
New gearbox mounts
New front control arms
New front thrust arms
New front sway bar links
New front wheel bearings
New steering tie rod & tie rod ends
Brand new waterpump & thermostat 1 year ago
Brand new air flow meter 1 year ago
Brand new alternator 6 months ago
New drive belts when alternator replaced
Brand new clutch fan when alternator was replaced
3” Sports exhaust with high flow muffler – sounds great
No errors on dash
6 stacker CD player
Ugly old bmw car phone (as seen in other 540’s) replaced with factory sliding armrest with storage compartment
Just had expensive transmission service, new lifetime fluid & transmission filter
As you can see I’ve spent bulk cash on it so the next owner (you) won’t have too  only selling as I really need a station wagon
Car drives like a dream, does averages 12L/100k
Icey cold dual zone airconditioning
steptronic 5 speed auto with sports mode
Exhaust note sound unreal, nice rumble
Mature owner, car has been professionally serviced and looked after by bm-auto engineering
Nothing to spend
Really don’t want to sell this car as it runs so nice, stunning performance, excellent brakes, swesome luxury, too many toys so the wife says this must go before I buy a wagon

Have a full set of stock wheels & tyres which will be included with the sale
Also have a big box of all the worn stock parts as proof of replacement

its on gumtree for $14k ono, p-diddy mates rates discount equates to $13k ono
