2000 BMW 5-Series Description

The car is listed locally as well, I reserve the right to cancel the auction for a local transaction.Otherwise this listing has No Reserve.
Up for sale is a 2000 BMW 540i v8 300hp sedan.
My plan for this car was to supercharge it so that I can have a 400hp daily by BMW.
But the car is up for sale because I bought a E39 M5 recently. Although they are two different cars with different characteristics, its redundant to have two RWD in New York.
Since the car was meant to be a SC daily car, I didn't pay too much attention on cosmetics, instead I focused on bringing the car maintenance up to date.
Below is what I have done to the car in the last year and a half of ownership. All parts are new and OE replacement through ECS, Bavauto, Turner, FCP *see receipts
Over $10,000 spent to bring this beautiful 540 to date, you won't be disappointed.

A quick summary of the maintenance cost throughout the year.
No, the car is not perfect. Yes, the asking price is higher than most 540s out there, but if you want a beat up 540 please refer to other Craigslist listings.
If you share the same vision with me, looking for a well maintained 540i and possibly supercharge it for more horsepower, while still able to drive it on a daily basis, this may be the car for you.
Please text me for more information.
Thanks for looking!
