filled sofa

• Xenon Headlights - Super bright, and yeah, they MOVE when you drive. These adjust to the

terrain.

• Full Aluminum Front and Rear Suspension - A first in the automotive world, this reduces

unsprung weight to improve both handling and ride quality at the same time.

interior alarm is sensitive!

• and soooo much more


The all important M Sport Package:

• Steptronic Transmission - Full auto mode, sport mode and also full manual mode where you

can shift through all 5 gears as you wish

• High-Stall Torque Converter - This means the engine can spin faster, use more gas and thus

make more power when starting off. I learned this the hard way. My garage door shows it!

• 3.15 : 1 performance rear axle ratio. This means the car is always in a lower gear than the

standard 2.82 : 1 ratio on standard 540i models. This way you always get more torque at

the rear wheels which means more thrust which means more acceleration

• M-Sport Aero Kit - Same body kit as on the M5, including front and rear bumpers and side

skirts

• M Suspension II - Unique for 2003. This is stiffer springs, shocks and anti-sway bars. It also

lowers the entire car by 0.8 inches. It still rides nice and comfy, and makes it stiff and

nimble enough for a lot of fun anywhere you drive.

• Black Roofliner - Unique for 2003. Instead of gray, the whole roofliner is black. Kind of a

Darth Vader look. Very cool. No, very, very cool!

• M Footrest - Unique for 2003. This is a place to rest your left foot while you drive.

• M Sport Steering Wheel - This is the excellent thick leather steering wheel with perfectly

positioned finger controls for the radio, CD player and cruise control. It's a masterpiece of

ergonomics.

• M Sport Door Sills

• High Gloss Shadowline Trim - This is black chrome around the windows instead of the usual

silver. Beautiful touch.

•  5 BBS RC’s, 17’s, lovely

• 12-Way Power Memory Sports Seats, all functional. These are, hands down, the best seats

I’ve ever sat in on a factory car. You do not move through a corner, and you’ll take the

corners!!

• Heated Seats and headlight washers, yes, it has the cold weather package, but not a heated steering wheel.  The sport package changes the wheel to a smaller, leather wrapped version.  Perfect, really.



Custom options added:

TEC console cup holder

Black front kidney grills. I still have the originals.

Black rubber BMW mats, plus the original carpets.

Weather Tech mat for the trunk

Custom tint

New rear Eagle GT’s

New rear wiper assembly


On Nov-23-13 at 08:32:43 PST, seller added the following information:

New OEM DRIVE SHAFT on 8 November 2013, from dealership.

Mostly highway miles, and I have owned the car since 24k miles.
All inspections done by BMW or registered techs.
Extensive paperwork comes with the car.
New Fan clutch in June 2013
New vent valve seals in Dec 2012
New reservoir tank for radiator a few years ago.

This car has been extremely reliable, unlike a 99 540 wagon I used to own.

BMW's DTM champ swaps rides with Mini's Dakar winner

Tue, May 5 2015

BMW may not race in F1 any longer, and it doesn't compete with Audi and Porsche in the LMP1 class at Le Mans. It even shut down Mini's short-lived effort on the World Rally Championship. But that doesn't mean it doesn't race at all. In fact it's the current reigning champion both in DTM and at Dakar. So to highlight its varied motorsport programs, the German automaker had two of its top drivers swap rides. German driver Martin Tomczyk, who won the DTM title in 2011 and now drives for BMW, took to Nasser Al-Attiyah's Mini All4Racing Countryman on the sand dunes of Dubai. Meanwhile the Qatari driver, who has won the Dakar Rally two times now, took to the wheel of Tomczyk's BMW M4 DTM around Oschersleben in Germany. They even repeated the game of musical chairs at Hockenheim over the weekend. If anything, the promo clip shot by Red Bull just goes to show how different the varied racing machinery can be, and the challenges posed to racing drivers switching between disciplines. But lessons aside, it's a cool clip, so check it out above. Two champions swap cockpits: Martin Tomczyk drives the MINI ALL4 Racing, Nasser Al-Attiyah the BMW M4 DTM. Munich (DE), 1st May 2015. From asphalt to sand and back again: BMW DTM driver Martin Tomczyk (DE) and MINI ALL4 Racing ace Nasser Al-Attiyah (QA) both entered unfamiliar territory and took each other's cars for a test drive. As part of a video shoot for BMW Motorsport Premium Partner Red Bull in Dubai (AE), Tomczyk, a proven master of his trade on asphalt as the 2011 DTM Champion, took the wheel of the MINI ALL4 Racing, with which X-raid has won the famous Rally Dakar the last four years. During DTM testing in Oschersleben (DE), Al-Attiyah was given the opportunity to drive Tomczyk's BMW M Performance Parts M4 DTM. Two wins at the Rally Dakar are just some of the successes the rally driver from Qatar has had to date. He followed up his first victory in 2011 by winning in the MINI ALL4 Racing in January 2015. "Driving the MINI ALL4 Racing through the sand and over the dunes in Dubai was a fascinating experience and was so much fun," said Tomczyk. "The car has an incredible amount of torwue – and the test in the dunes was an amazing adrenalin rush even for an experienced race driver such as myself. It's totally different to driving on a circuit.
