2001 BMW 540i

SPORT M – PACKAGE

6 SPEED

You are bidding on my 2001 BMW 540i Sport 6 speed. This is a very rare BMW 5 series E39 chassis. I looked for a long time before locating a low mileage sport with a manual transmission. The bonus for me was the black and tan color combination. This is a very well maintained vehicle and the only reason I am selling it is my new job requires me to have a larger vehicle. Most of the miles have been accumulated on the interstate with a 27.5 MPG average. I have owned several different vehicles and this one by far has been my favorite.

Please look study the photos as you can see it’s in very good condition. I have always used Pennzoil Ultra Oil and changed with a new filter every 6,000 miles. Cabin/Air filters have been changed every 12,000 miles and I change the transmission and rear differential every year with Royal Purple. I have changed spark plugs twice since I purchased the car with 46,000 miles. The car has a set of Bilstein dampners that should last forever. There are no missing pixels in the dash. The rear tires are like new and the fronts will last another 25,000 miles or more. I take very good care of my vehicles and I got 40,000 plus miles from a rear set of high performance tires. The vehicle has a staggered set of tires.

I have replaced the front wheel bearings, alternator, radiator overflow, and 2 window motors. If I was keeping the vehicle I would consider replacing the valve cover gaskets and valley pan as they will need to be serviced at some point. Also, this is a sunroof car, the sunroof works and is leak free and wind noise free, it occasionally makes a noise that I have not been able to identify. However, you can drive the wheels off of this car and not worry about it depreciating any more.

I will not provide shipping however I will help work with winning bidder. Good luck and please contact me if I can provide any additional information.

BMW, Mini aim to sell million cars off new FWD platform

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Mini sold 301,526 cars in 2012; BMW sold 1.54 million of its own models. According to a piece in Autocar, analysts say the coming UKL1 platform that will form the skeleton of the third-generation Mini Cooper and coming front-wheel drive BMW 1 Series could be responsible for "more than 900,000 cars per year" all by itself.
That sale fire is fueled by the UKL1 wearing up to twenty-three bodies in total between the two brands, 11 for Mini and 12 for BMW, rendering hatchbacks, sedans, coupes, convertibles, wagons, crossovers and people-haulers from about 12.5 feet to 14.5 feet. In April the VP of Mini USA said we might find some current models don't make it to a next generation, but a graphic accompanying the Autocar story has them all there. If it's correct, then those 23 models will only base model lines and don't account for different engines and four-wheel-drive options for each model.
The big changes that would perhaps mean big sales for the Mini line are a five-door hatch with two smaller rear doors for children, the sedan talked about last year for Asian markets and an MPV perhaps wearing the "Traveler" name that could send the Countryman in a more SUV-like direction.

BMW discussing new plant with Mexican authorities

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Drawn in by low wages and manufacturing costs, BMW could be the next automaker to set up a manufacturing facility in Mexico. Automotive News is reporting that the German automaker has had discussions with local Mexican governments regarding a possible assembly plant, but there is no word as to when a decision may come down. Last we heard, BMW was reportedly looking to build the 3 Series in Mexico.
A key determining factor for this new plant is a free-trade agreement between the US and Europe, which according to the article, would give BMW better "flexibility and cost structure" to open another plant in North America. In terms of luxury automakers, Audi is currently building a new plant in Mexico and Mercedes-Benz is considering opening one in conjunction with Nissan for the CLA-Class, and in the bigger picture, Honda and Mazda are also preparing to kick off vehicle production in Mexico.
