Immaculate 1999 BMW E39 540i Sport 6-Speed 68k

1999 BMW 5-Series Sport Description

Up for sale is one of my all time favorite cars. This 1999 E39 540i Sport is one of the few imported to the US with a 6 speed manual and a black paint job. I had purchased this car form an older gentleman in May of 2015 who took very good care of this classic 5 series. It is 100% stock down to the radio. The exterior and the interior are practically new with little to no wear on the leather and paint. This is by far the cleanest and lowest mileage E39 540i Sport you can find. I even have the original window sticker. This car spent most of its life in a garage and it shows it.
This has the sport package and that makes this E39 absolutely incredible to drive. The ride is still supple but very connected and planted at speed. This car was designed to own the German Autobahn and it is the very definition of a sport sedan. Unlike most E39 Sports this has the 17" Style 32 wheels that have more sidewall for better ride comfort. Those wheels are wrapped in wide Bridgestone Pole Position S004 high performance summer tires that still have plenty of tread left on them. This car was not driven in winter and is 100% rust free.
I maintained this car myself to the highest degree and under my ownership I have replaced the following as preventative maintenance:
- Radiator
- Upper and lower Rad hoses
- Thermostat
- Coolant
- Power Steering reservoir and fluid
- Cabin Air filter
- Air filter
- Battery
- Annual Oil+Filter changes with Castrol Synthetic oil.
- Brake fluid.
The front brakes are brand new. I have also replaced the AC Compressor and the MAF Sensor under my ownership to make this car 100% with the receipts to prove it.
It currently has 68,314 miles on it and they're all highway. The previous owner and myself used this E39 exclusively as a long trip highway cruiser. Depending on how heavy your right foot is, you can expect to see 27-30 mpg highway. Lots of room in the trunk and very comfy for even the longest of trips. It's also silly fast, pulling like a fright train through all the gears with all the torque you could ever need.
BMW will never make another E39 again and clean cars are becoming harder and harder to find. If you're interested or have any questions feel free to send me an email/text or give me a call. I will entertain all reasonable offers, but lowballs will be ignored. Joyrides aren't happening and test drives are reserved for those with cash in hand. I'm in no rush to sell and would love for this to go to another BMW enthusiast who will give it the same level of care I have.
Please only bid if you have the funds to back it up.
I have the clean Carfax and can send it to you if you're interested. Additional high res photos are available here: https://drive(dot)google(dot)com/open?id=0B2uJcTWLAnE5WTNYaThmaDBOMDQ
Thanks for looking.
