98 BMW 540i V8 4.4L 282 hp, 5sp Auto, black on black! Runs great! needs tranny

1998 BMW 5-Series 540i Description

This car was purchased with knowledge of a worn out automatic transmission. Was driving daily, until tranny failed completely. Car does not start rolling on its own, currently. Minor body scratches, could use some buffing with rubbing compound. Looks great from a distance, but you can see some imperfections when looking closely, like most 30 year old cars!
Added a few pics to show that I renewed the registration and installed the plates. You can see the two worst spots on the body. Near the front grills there is a small dent. Also, below the rear plate there is somepoorly donebody work. Guessing that itwas a home repair on some rust that had started.
Just charged the battery and this BMW started right up! Would keep her, but making a down payment on duplex and will have one less garage space available.

Nearly forgot. Passenger door handle will come out when it is pulled too hard. Oddly, it seems to function properly and be held in the door well enough, just by correctly replacing it.
