The $4,100 "M-Technic" package is what makes this 540iA so special. In the 2003 model year, the 540iA "M-Technic" included both the "M-Sport" package (Option Code 0337) and the Sport package (Option Code 0ZSP). Unlike Mercedes' sport packages, most of which are just trim, the BMW sport package completely redesigns not just the wheels and tires, but also completely changes and lowers the suspension, has a completely different transmission, torque converter and even a much shorter axle ratio. Without the sport package the 540i is a quick family sedan, whereas the 540i "M-Technic" is a real sports car.
The lower gearing and sport programmed transmission make the 540i accelerate faster than other standard 5-Series models; the "M-Technic" sport package is clearly designed for performance. The Steptronic transmission is an ordinary 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission that also allows manual selection of gears. It has a high-stall torque converter and no clutch. You can identify the Steptronic transmission by the "M" gate to the left of "D." The regular 540i, non-"M-Technic" automatic has no manual gate and is marked P R N D4321; the "M-Technic" 540iA Steptronic Transmission has no 4, 3, 2 or 1 markings.
The 540iA "M-Technic" also has a 3.15 : 1 performance rear axle ratio. This means the car is always in a lower gear than the standard 540i's 2.82 : 1 ratio; this way you always get more torque at the rear wheels which means more thrust and more acceleration.
Unique for 2003, use of stiffer springs, shocks and anti-sway bars really contributes to superb handling along with lowering the entire car by 0.8 inches. The car still rides nice and comfy, yet stiff and nimble enough for a lot of fun anywhere you drive.
The 2003 540i "M-Sport" is different from earlier years as it featured some special interior and exterior trim inspired from the M5. Unique for the 2003 model year, a black interior headliner, "M" Doorsills, and "M" Footrest was offered on the "M-Sport." Additionally, a thick leather steering wheel with perfectly positioned finger controls for the radio, CD player and cruise control was installed. Unlike the standard wheel, everything is right under your thumbs when you're driving or racing with just three fingers holding each side. The 10-way power, memory sport seats are perfect - very supportive, but comfortable. You can identify the sport seats by the adjustable leg rest. This is missing on the standard seats that come without the sport package.
On the outside, you will see some apparent exterior changes. The standard model has chrome trim while the genuine "M-Technic" model has black, shadowline trim and no silver chrome on the body except for the "540i" badge and distinctive BMW front grill. It also features some exterior aerodynamics inspired by the M5, such as front and rear bumpers, as well as a small lip spoiler. The "M-Sport" package also included 18-inch Parallel-Spoke "Style 37" Forged Alloy wheels, which were unique for this 2003 model/package.
The 2003 BMW 540i "M-Technic" comes with very convenient standard features such as intermittent windshield wipers, front impact airbags with intelligent occupant sensors, and AM/FM/CD audio just to name a few. The leather "M"-Sport seats make for a very comfortable ride in such a well-performing sports car. This truly is one of the best luxury sports cars money can buy AND YOU CAN DRIVE IT IN ANY CLIMATE!!!
This 2003 BMW 540i "M-Technic" Sedan has the factory 18-inch Parallel-Spoke "Style 37" Forged Alloy "M-Parallel" wheels, which were unique for the 2003 BMW 540i M-technic model. The wheel size is 18"X8" in the front and 18"X9" in the rear. The super light 18" wheels are in phenomenal condition with only a few minor imperfections. The tire size is 235/40ZR18 in front and 265/35ZR18 in rear. The wheels are wrapped in matching Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires; they have about 90% treadlife remaining in the front and the rears are nearly new with almost full treadlife remaining.
Even with the huge amount of power from this 282hp V8 engine, this car has tons of traction and grip; it REALLY PULLS HARD! This 2003 BMW 540iA "M-Technic" comes with a full size alloy rim spare wheel that is in excellent condition. This car also has a fantastic antitheft system featuring a factory keyless entry system. We have all 4 keys for this vehicle: 2 master keys with alarm remotes, 1 secondary key, and 1 plastic valet key.
This BMW 540iA "M-Technic" is in excellent shape and its condition is consistent to a car with less than half the mileage both inside and out! The body is clean and free of any major blemishes, scratches, or dents. Like any used car there might be various minor imperfections around the car from everyday driving. The interior is in excellent shape and was obviously well-maintained by a non-smoker. The seats are in fantastic condition and there is no significant wear on the interior. The A/C blows strong and ice cold. Don't miss this opportunity to own one of the BEST PERFORMING AUTOMATIC SEDANS BMW EVER MADE!
