2000 Bmw 540i Sport / 6sp / Dinan Performance Equipment on 2040-cars

     “The best E39 on the market - meticulously maintained in stunning condition. Look no further as it’s as close to an M5 as possible, but with-out the breakage and expense”

About:  2000 540I Sport, 6-speed, ‘M’ package, cold weather package, all 2003 updates / upgrades completed, Xenon headlights, complete M5 exterior conversion - all parts from BMW.

Driving experience:  The best performance sports sedan, period. If you’ve never had the chance to drive a well sorted V-8 E39 / 6 speed you really missed out!  These cars are just as contemporary and relevant to the competition today as they were when they were new. No wind noise, rattles or vibration – butter smooth.

History:  The original owner, a BMW enthusiast, ordered this car specifying the Sport package, 6-speed and other options. There were just a handful of Sport / 6-speeds imported at that time.

     It was used as an alternate / 3^rd pleasure vehicle. All subsequent owners were also BMW enthusiasts and had the kind of cash to perform the upgrades, maintenance ahead of schedule and repairs over the years. In my estimation between the first owner and me; this car has had as much money spent on it as it cost new. It has been garage kept and extremely well cared for through-out its life.

Current ownership:  For the last 3 years, me. I was formerly BMW / Porsche master technician by trade as well as a serious enthusiast. I searched and checked out dozens of 540’s through-out the US before I finally found this one. I know these cars well and I have given this one a lot of ‘love’.

Drive Train:  4.4 V-8 with Dinan large runner intake manifold, throttle body and mass air-flow sensor, AFE cold intake filter, ESS custom tune on the DME. Eisenmenn stainless steel cat-back exhaust with resonator eliminator. The valve covers have been powder-coated color matched to the paint. NO LEAKS – NO ISSUES! The underside is just as clean as the rest of the car.

Body:  The body and paint are 9.5 out of 10; especially considering the year. There have been several small touch-ups over the years. 10% tint professionally added to all windows. LED small bulb conversion. The entire paint surface has been wet-sanded and buffed professionally. It is very slick and shiny, it’s beautiful.

Interior:  Power sport seats, moon roof, premium DSP sound system with optional rear deck sub-woofer, updated radio module, MK IV NAV system with current date DVD mapping, large screen display, ready for Sirius radio plug-n-play module. All LED bulb conversion. Carbon fiber-look instrument cluster, short shifter from Z-3, Full M5 stainless interior trim set from BMW, console stash compartment conversion, AC Schnitzer pedals.

Suspension:  H&R / Bilstein combo set up specifically for this car.

Wheels:  Beyern that are period correct for this year: 19’s x 9-1/2” Rear - 8-1/2” front. They were completely refinished last year and new rear tires installed, new lug bolts, all tires were balanced.

The last 12 months:  New windshield from BMW (original pitted), level II service completed; all filters and fluids with Mobile 1 & Redline oils, new Zimmerman zinc plated - drilled rotors, Akebono pads - sensors, new Bosch alternator, belts, idler pulley, rear tires, 4-wheel alignment, aero wiper blade assemblies, front cup holder, BMW floor mats, coolant flush with BMW antifreeze, charcoal cabin filters.
