2003 BMW 540i M-Sport
6 Speed Manual
Alpine White On Black
Mileage: 138k
Title: Clean Georgia
VIN: WBADN53473GF71740


This 2003 BMW E39 540i M-Sport, which is number #365 out of 1,265 M-Sport models imported into the US for the 2003 model year only, the last year the E30 was produced. Of those 1,265 produced, only 12 were made in this color combination and of those, fewer in manual transmission (I could not get the exact number).

?The factory M-Sport package consisted of the following:
M5 front and rear bumpers (rear valence different to allow for single exhaust)
M5 Steering wheel
M-Sport Suspension II (with M5 shocks)
M door sill trim
Staggered 18” M-Parallel wheels
Anthracite (black) headliner (only came on M5 and M-sport models)
High gloss black shadow line window trim
White direction indicator lights
Sport seats

?This particular car came with the following dealer options:
Rear folding seats
Heated front seats
Universal garage remote control
On board computer
Deleted rear spoiler
Headlight washers
Rain sensing wipers
Xenon headlights
Ski pass?

Upgrades:
BC coilover suspension, fully adjustable ride height and dampening
3M titanium vinyl wrapped interior trim (reversible if you do not like it)
High temp heat painted valve covers
LED light license plate lights & quarter panel indicator lights
3M 35% window tint
Osram D2S CBI headlight bulbs
Royal Purple transmission fluid
Matte black kidney grills
?Some minor issues with the car:
SRS light goes on and off intermittently (faulty passenger occupancy sensor, however airbags still function)
Spare tire is not a M-Parallel (I purchased it like this)
Battery in key fob is going out
Pixels displaying info on gage cluster go out intermittently (happens on all E39 models, can be permanently repaired)


This car is completely rust free and has been garage kept, smoker free the entire time I owned it (and all previous owners from what I gathered).  There is absolutely no rust on this car and only shows minor wear with typical rock chips, bumper scuffs, minuscule dings and lightly worn leather.  This car has all original body panels and has never been wrecked.  I had the front bumper replaced and painted with OEM parts due to hairline cracks from a BMW dealership with all the records proving it.

I have some maintenance records going back to 2010 for routine maintenance.  I had the valve cover gasket leak as the only issue with the car the entire time I owned it, which I has since replaced.  Everything works mechanically on the car; a/c blows cold, brakes are strong and firm, clutch engages, heated seats, motor is strong and torquey, sun roof, great tread on tires, suspension is tight with no squeaks or rattles, seat motors etc.  I am a huge BMW enthusiast who have owned multiple BMWs before and took great pride in owning this vehicle.  It is a rush to drive with the insane amount of torque this engine has.  I constantly get compliments on this car wherever I go.  Here is your chance to own a timeless design of the BMW E39 5 series without having to deal with the hassle of owning a M5.  Mileage may go up a few hundred miles as I still occasionally drive it.

Buyer will pay for shipping or coordinate to pick it up.

China patent leak may show BMW hydrogen fuel cell car

Wed, Nov 4 2015

A series of leaked patent renderings has revealed what Car News China claims is a new BMW hydrogen fuel cell concept slated to debut in a few weeks time at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show. Likely set to be a member of the company's i sub-brand, this compact three-door looks like the love-child of the ultra-efficient manufacturers i3 electric car and i8 hybrid sports car. It's narrow, boasting a cab-forward design and an aggressive interpretation of the company's current front end styling. The rear is angular and taut, and the entire car features an aerodynamic teardrop shape. Despite modern styling elements, like the headlights and grille, CNC rightly points out that there's something inescapably "1990-concept-car-ish" about this vehicle's look. We can't quite put our finger on it, but it's there. We won't have long to wait to see if these patent renderings are real. The 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show kicks off on Wednesday, November 18. You can check out the rest of the patent renderings over at Car News China. Related Video: The video meant to be presented here is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.

Next BMW M3 sedan to be plug-in hybrid?

Mon, Aug 17 2015

BMW has a lot in mind for the next-generation 3 Series and 4 Series cars, and we're hearing about it now even though they're not expected for another three or four years. The sedan is expected to be lighter, wider, with a longer wheelbase and a lower center of gravity. Rumored tech updates include the water injection system debuted in production on the BMW 1 Series, and the 4 Series convertible might go back to a fabric top. Now The Detroit Bureau reports BMW insiders have revealed that the next M3 will get a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. We've heard about plug-in variants in the mix for the G20 3 Series using a small displacement four-cylinder, but not on the M3 and possibly M4. The goal is familiar, according to the "several senior company officials:" to improve the performance while reducing the emissions footprint. Apparently, the power unit being worked on uses a "similar engine" to the 425-horsepower, 3.0-liter inline six employed at the moment, with power sent to the rear wheels. Electric assistance would come from a KERS-like unit that would also - and only - send power to the rear wheels. Torque is said to go up at least 73 pound-feet from the 406 lb-ft available currently, and all-electric range might be as much as 20 miles. Plenty of carbon fiber will help offset the weight of the lithium-ion batteries. Despite company obfuscations, we know BMW is working on a hybrid powertrain for a vehicle rumored to be called either i5 or i7, and would use one or two electric motors to drive the front wheels while the traditional ICE drives the rear wheels. This potential M3 and M4 powertrain would be an offshoot of that engineering. Automobile speculates there will be electric turbochargers and a horsepower number around 500. Related Video:
