1998 Bmw 540i E39 V8 on 2040-cars
Strafford, Missouri, United States
|
1998 BMW 540i E39 model. Car runs strong, but does have some issues, so listing with a low reserve (under KBB). Issue is car is in "Trans Failsafe Prog", which causes car to take off in 3rd gear. I haven't figured out what is causing it. It could be a simple fix. Prior owner said it started when they had battery and alternator issues. The car does have a new battery and alternator. Tires have good amount of tread but do have some light dry rotting from sitting. Paint is ok, some clear coat peeling on the hood, and one spot on drivers door where it's been pushed in and back out. Interior is ok as well, no rips or tears in the leather, some stains in carpet, headliner is good. Car does smell like smoke. All windows, locks, door handles and lights seem to work. Has a factory 6 CD changer in the trunk as well as factory tool kit, original dealer window sticker and manuals.
Car is located very close to I-44 about 15miles east of Springfield, MO. Can be shipped at buyers arrangement and expense. $500 deposit within 3 days of auction end, pickup and final payment must occur with in 30days or at least arrangements for pickup (somewhat flexible but I'm not keeping car for 6 months after auction). |

BMW revisits its 8 Series
Thu, 04 Jul 2013So why would BMW choose July 2 to release a retrospective on the 8 Series? Could it have something to do with the recent unveiling of the Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe concept, another sleek, B-pillarless V12 two-door, at this year's Villa d'Este? We have no idea, but the timing is likely coincidental.
This three-minute look at the 8 Series talks to Niels Hamann, who was smitten with the long-hooded coupe when it appeared in 1989 and finally bought one in 2004. Hamann also happens to be a project manager at BMW, and that came in handy when he wrote a book detailing every aspect of what was BMW's flagship for ten years but to the chagrin of many only managed one generation.
While we wait for the next clue about the Gran Lusso - 8 Series connection, check out the video below.
BMW 6 Series Convertible gets a little work done for 2015
Sat, 02 Aug 2014Truth be told, I've never really found the modern BMW 6 Series to be a particularly attractive car, in Coupe, Convertible, or sedan Gran Coupe forms. This current generation certainly looks a whole lot better than the Bangle-fied Six that came before it to my eyes, but on the whole, I find much of the car's design to be fussy and awkward. There's a new 6 Series on the way, scheduled to arrive sometime in 2017 or 2018, but to hold us over until then, BMW is freshening its current range, as evidenced by this convertible prototype our trusty spies recently caught testing.
Will the changes to the current 6 Series be an improvement? Perhaps. Up front, there are restyled headlamps and a new front bumper, and at the rear, BMW has redesigned the LED taillamps to bring them more in line with the rest of the company's offerings. Aside from those modest tweaks, we don't expect much more to change on the Big Six - the interior will likely carry over with some minor tweaks (or new colors), and it's possible the powertrains could be massaged gently for gains in either power, efficiency, or both.
Whether you think this new look is pretty or not, this freshened 6 Series will likely debut sometime next year, while BMW's engineers and designers craft the all-new version. See it from several angles in our gallery, above.
BMW 4 Series production coupe caught on commercial shoot
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Despite filming at 2:00 AM and at an undisclosed location, BMW minders filming a commercial for the fast-approaching 4 Series coupe were unable to ward off the long lenses of spy photographers. The result, as you can see here, is our first-ever look at the production version of BMW's new coupe, completely uncovered.
The night shots may be a little bit grainy, but the fast-moving 4 Series still looks pretty good with its camo closeted, matching the svelte lines of the concept car we saw in Detroit this winter. Expect that the 4 coupe will come to market with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder in 428i trim, and a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder in 435i spec.
