'99 BMW 540iA Wagon


2000 540iA Wagon: VIN #WBADR6348YGN91297 pictures can be viewed at http://www.540it.blogspot.com/
I have owned this car for 4 years (2nd owner). It has been very well cared for and meticulously maintained (see list of maintenance below). The car is in wonderful condition and is in need of no repairs. This wagon is very practical while being VERY performance oriented at the same time. The car has the sports package and thus corners and handles very well while still maintaining a nice ride quality.
The 4.4 liter V8 has plenty of power with 290hp and 320ft./lbs of torque! With all that torque this baby has gobs of low end power and acceleration! It can pull up a mountain fully loaded with the air conditioner on and the engine will not even be laboring!
The car has dynamic stability control (DSC) and all season traction control (AST) to allow safe use of all that torque in bad weather. I have driven the car in 6 inches of unplowed snow and it does great.
The car is loaded with everything: sports suspension package with sports seats and steering wheel, premium sound system with 10 speakers and digital sound processing (DSP), heated seats, navigation system, 6 disc CD changer, split fold down rear seats, leather interior, steptronic (manual shifting available) automatic transmission, 17" alloy sport wheels, Xenon headlights, front & side and head airbags, all season traction and dynamic stability control, 4 wheel ventilated anti-lock brakes, self leveling rear suspension, remote keyless entry with security system, power seat adjustments with 3 memory settings, power windows, rain sensor wipers, adjustable steering wheel with hand controls for cruise, stereo volume and telephone , sunroof, tailgate with opening rear window, parking distance sensors. And these items work!
This car originally sold for $63.2k but it can be yours for only $16,900! Current mileage is 105K Maintenance: -full synthetic oil and filter change every 5k miles -air conditioner filters replaced -replaced AC aux. fan and AC system recharged -replacement of final stage resistor in climate control system -O2 sensors replaced -rear wheel spd. sensors replaced -new battery -new brake pads and resurfaced rotors -new mass air flow (MAF) sensor -all wheel alignment -new spark plugs -new air filter -transmission fluid replaced -new radiator, and coolant reservoir tank -new cam shaft position sensor -instrument cluster replacement -brake fluid replacement -differential fluid replacement
