1999 BMW 540i Touring Wagon 114K Black / Black Excellent condition Low Miles

1999 BMW 5-Series Rare Production Run Few Made Description

Selling a 1999 540i BMW Wagon black on black. Unfortunately must part with this car never planned on selling it. IM the third owner, second owner only had it for about 6 months, and wanted more of a cruiser this is truly a sports car. It does have a rebuilt title, came by that when the first owner donated this car for tax rights offs after buying his wife another luxury ride. The first owner money was no problem, was easier for him to donate rather than to sell. This is the ONLY reason this car has the rebuilt title. The car is a southern California car, was donated in Newport Beach. The second owner was the tow truck driver that picked up the car and was able to purchase after seeing its amazing condition. He asked the original owner why he would donate such a nice car that is when he found out money was no problem,could afford the donation for tax advantages. There are no absolutely problems with this car what so ever, know many get leery of a salvage title this car is an exception to the rule. Because donated the state of California re titled it as "salvage" for this reason alone. I can not state clearly enough this car does not match a salvage titled car, seeing in person great color combination, black on black. SO TO CONFIRM SALVAGE TITLE GIVEN TO THIS CAR BECAUSE IT WAS DONATED...NOT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN REBUILT. THE CAR FAX AUTO CHECKS ONLY KNOW PAPER HISTORY NOT ACTUAL HISTORY...IF THIS CAR WAS SOLD INSTEAD OF BEEN DONATED THE SALVAGE HISTORY WOULD NOT BE THERE! ZERO PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. NO PROBLEM FOR YOU TO CONFIRM.
The pictures were taken first day of my ownership, was overcast very unusual for our Las Vegas weather, and dont do the car justice. You will notice the front grills dont match, I prefer the chrome to flat black ones just never got around to changing them out, this is an easy inexpensive repair. all windows, sunroof, switches etc work perfect. I try to be as open and honest with all the information I have received since buying this car in early June 2016. Need the money, truly hate selling the car...
The second owner owned a towing company and was pleasantly surprised when he picked up the car seeing it was a gem inside and out. I was looking specifically for this model of BMW, these cars are difficult to find for the simple reason BMW did not make many 540is in the 5 years of production. Even if inc in the total run of this body style of the 525s and few years of the 528 (all six cylinders), this is a scarce run of BMW's produced, and one of the best & highly rated cars ever produced for the era. This car scored high on all the reviews for lots of horse power for a "station wagon".
Car has just over 114K low miles for a 17 year old car, super clean inside and out with a few minor door dings can be seen in pictures of the passengers side but so small you literally have to look for them, and a small spot on the hood. Car shows very well when waxed and polished. Has had just over 4K with of recent work with receipts to prove. This car is in amazing condition, drives perfect, everything works as it should. Tires, breaks,excellent, nothing needed. One set of pixels are low in the dash lights, interior is a solid 9.5. Car drives excellent, powerful responsive 4.4 big block V8 motor. Excellent condition on the rims with almost brand new tires. NEVER planned to sell this car, I absolutely love it but must sell due to financial hardship. Planned or getting it perfect, and selling it for much less than actually have into it. It is cool car if you like BMW's, just over 2300 made in the few short years of this body style run from 1999 - 2003. With cars produced in the hundreds of thousands + a TOTAL of less than 2400 made this is a scarce car. This year specific around 879 made, low production run for any vehicle in 1999.
Over all excellent condition for a car approaching 20 years old. Has all the options expected on a luxury vehicle and everything works as it should. Priced with a low reasonable reserve for two reasons have much more invested and for the price / condition is one of the cleanest on the market. Motor has been detailed looks much better than seen in pictures. Reasonably priced / great car.
