Ive got my 1995 BMW 540I up for sale. It was my daily driver for a while but replaced it and am finally getting around to passing this car on. This car is the E34 body type and is in awesome shape for an 18yo car. White with tan leather interior. Great paint with only a few dings. 292 horsepower M60 aluminum V8 engine with an Auto trans. Clock shows 201k. I have many service records for it going back a few years.
This car has had an Alusil engine installed in it at approx. 95k miles under the BMW Nikasil warranty. This engine runs strong with no hick-ups and will not experience the compression problems that other V8 BMWs of the time can have. There are many out there that have not had the engine changed out for the newer Alloy (alusil) but this car has had it completed.
Have done A LOT of work to this car. New front suspension arms, rear brakes (New calipers, pads, rotors, and E brake shoes), Master cylinder, Heater core, valve cover gaskets, water pump, spark plugs, coil packs, Radiator and expansion tank, hoses, window regulators, and battery among others. I had brand new Z rated tires installed a few weeks before I parked it. This car runs well. Needs 1 motor mount and a horn, thats about all that i know of but it is old enough to vote, a used car, and is sold AS IS. Used cars almost always require some work. It was always reliable when I was driving it every day and starts up every time. Please do not hesitate to ask questions about the car and for additional photos if you would like. I will do my best to represent this vehicle as what it is but make no guarantees.
In 1995 BMW did not release an M5 and the 540I was the top of the line 5 series with enough styling differences to set it apart from the normal 5 series. Looks like a beige plague sedan but under the hood is a monster. This car is a rocket and a blast to drive. Everything in the interior works and the factory sound system still sounds great. Tinted windows, power seats, dual zone heating/AC, mirrors, windows, and moon roof, all functional. The only things that do not work are the keyless entry and the BMW OEM Cellular phone which is still installed. There are a few scratches here and there on the leather in the interior but what 18yo car doesnt?
This car would be perfect to setup for Autocross or a daily driven hot rod! Or maybe just a toy. The E34s are becoming difficult to find in decent shape and this car is certainly a gem considering its age. And this one has the largest engine offered in this body!
I am certainly open to offers!

BMW performance engineering boss wants an M7
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Audi has the S8, Mercedes has the S63 AMG and Jaguar has the XJR, but BMW has always held that an M7 wasn't justified, leaving its associated Alpina line to tackle that market with the B7 (pictured). The chief engineer at the M division, however, feels otherwise.
Speaking to Autocar, the BMW M development chief Albert Biermann indicated that he would like to see the M division do a performance version of the 7 Series to compete with the above-mentioned models, but that there are no current plans in place to do so. Neither did he specify what kind of engine it would have, or if it would be badged, for that matter, as an M7 or an M Performance model.
The latter is the approach which the M division is reportedly taking with performance versions of BMW crossovers beyond the X5 M and X6 M, such as the X3 and upcoming X4. The division is also said to be developing a performance-tuned xDrive system to compete with AMG's new all-wheel-drive models, as well as a potential M3 GT to join the new M3 sedan and M4 coupe with a slantback bodystyle.
BMW i3 misses top Euro safety rating [w/videos]
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The Euro NCAP just tested a recent batch of new cars including the 2014 BMW i3, and the EV Bimmer scored less-than-perfect results. Though not horrible, BMW's all-electric/range-extended i3 was given a four-star (out of five possible) crash rating due to concerns with front-occupant whiplash and side-impact protection.
Based on the crash results, the BMW provided suitable protection for occupants in the frontal, side barrier, pedestrian and child-seat tests, but the i3 was tripped up when it came to the more severe side pole test and the rear-impact test. The pole test showed protection to the chest of the test dummy was "weak," and the front seats only provided "marginal" protection against whiplash for front passengers. Scroll down to watch two videos released by the Euro NCAP of the i3 being tested.
2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible [w/video]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Here it is, the fifth generation of BMW's 3 Series Convertible - only this one begins with a "4," having been rechristened as a droptop version of the new 4 Series Coupe. With thirty years of work on this same recipe and having gotten it so right for much of that time, the Munich compact premium convertible has been a WYSIWYG affair for decades: once you saw its sedan paradigm, you knew what it was going to look like in roofless two-door form, and what you saw is exactly what you got.
It is ridiculous to think that BMW would choose this new model and its new nomenclature to muck things up. The new car has, though, gotten larger and roomier, and even though it's now part of the racier coupe division within the company's compact line, it has gotten more, shall we say, mature. Driving even further away from the days when handsomely tipped bartenders could work their way into one, The Ultimate Tanning Machine had shed even more elan, going instead for elegance and an attitude befitting its $49,675 starting price (including $925 for destination).
It strikes a few odd notes, but what it does best, it still does better than anything else out there in its price range.
