Hi, eBayers!  Up for sale is my 2003 BMW 540i M Sport, with a desirable 6-speed transmission, black on black color scheme, and a clean-as-a-whistle history.  I'm moving to a colder climate, which is the primary reason I'm selling this car.  Affectionately called the "Baby M5" by some, here's a great chance to get into a well-maintained vehicle with those classic BMW E39 body lines.  Make no mistake: there's plenty of room to go fast, too!


Take a look at the pictures, ask me any and all questions, and please note highlights and issues below.  I'm a car guy and open, honest transactions are a must for me.


Pictures galore: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ytm1vanj35y3tye/y__Njf4Iay

Highlights:
- extensive service history at reputable, independent shop
- I'm the second "real" owner, though the history may show three
- head gaskets and cooling system work, typical big repairs (>$2500) for this motor, are already done
- recently-installed OEM front brakes and all four tires
- runs like a bat out of hell, averages 22 miles per gallon with mostly highway driving at 85 miles per hour
- DSP audio system sounds awesome and with aftermarket parts, can integrate with the iPhone
- no dead pixels on the instrument cluster and climate control, about 50% dead on the radio
- desirable color, transmission, body style and kit combination

Known issues:
- missing rear door brake on the driver side (that holds the door open), which is a $15 part and a couple hour repair
- the passenger xenon headlamp just burnt out
- both front seats twist (this is a common and relatively easy repair), Google "bmw e39 seat twist" and check these links:

- most notable: the check engine light is on, reporting a failing oxygen sensor which I've replaced.  In no way is the car's performance affected, but buyer beware: if you live in a county/state with emissions tests, this car will not pass and you will be unable to register the vehicle!  Currently, this car doesn't have valid registration, but most states typically give an in-transit grace period as long as you keep the title and bill of sale on hand.

My mechanic thinks this may be a failing catalytic converter but, absent any spare parts to swap and test, there really is no way to fully diagnose without installing a new part.  This doesn't make personal sense because, as mentioned, I'm moving.  If you're in a non-emission county/state and a check engine light doesn't bother you, you can get yourself a heckuva car!  Again, ask me questions: I don't want to scare you away but must be up-front and honest.

Transaction details:
- full payment required on or before pickup
- payment methods accepted: cash, wire transfer, cashier's check/personal check (all checks must clear before you get the keys and the title)
- this car is for sale in other channels, and I reserve the right to end the listing at any time

Europe's BMW 1 Series hatch caught looking fresh faced

Sat, 23 Aug 2014

Hey, remember the BMW 1 Series? Yes, German brand's successors to the US-market coupe and convertible have one-upped the old car to wear the 2 Series designation now, but in other markets, our No. 1 crush still lives on, and as evidenced in these spy shots, the entry-level hatch appears to be undergoing a modest facelift.
We've spotted prototypes of the refreshed 1 Series before, with the majority of the car's changes focused around the front fascia. This time around, we're seeing the three-door variant, with wheels seemingly fitting of a Sport or even M Sport trim.
Of course, this One's not for US, as the small BMW isn't slated to come to our market anytime soon. Click through the gallery above to see what we're missing.
