2000 540i Sport, 6-Speed, 4.4L V8 – Extensive Records

Titanium Silver Metallic over black interior, factory sport package with 6-speed manual transmission. I am the second owner, having purchased the car in 2003 with approximately 31k miles. The car has been enthusiast-owned and maintained for over 22 years with extensive service documentation included.
This is an all-stock, unmodified example with no performance or cosmetic modifications. The car has been garaged for much of its life, including winter storage for 14 years. While localized corrosion is present in portions of the rocker/jack-point areas (detailed below), the underside otherwise presents well for age and mileage. It runs and drives well and remains a rewarding driver consistent with the E39 reputation.
Sport Package equipment includes 6-speed manual transmission, sport suspension, staggered Style 32 wheels, sport seats, and three-spoke sport steering wheel. Factory premium DSP sound system with 6-disc CD changer.
Maintenance & Condition Highlights:
Extensive service history performed by independent BMW specialist mechanics, including:
2026: Interstate MTX-49/H8 battery installed
2025: Steering angle sensor; Brake Fluid Flush
2024: Front control arm bushings; Front Sway bar links; Engine Mounts
2024: Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season tires (@175.5k miles)
2023: Intake cam position sensor
2022: Valve cover gaskets & upper timing case reseal
2018: Starter, ignition switch
2017: Water pump, expansion tank, belts, thermostat
2016: Instrument cluster replacement; Wheel refinishing
2015: Radiator & expansion tank
Timing chain guides and clutch are original to the car. The car drives well overall. There is a slight vibration at highway speeds around 70–75 mph, likely related to wheel balance or typical front suspension wear common to E39 models.
Cosmetic condition:
The car presents well overall with imperfections consistent with age and mileage, including:
• Small crease on passenger front door
• Split and scrapes on lower front bumper from curb contact
• Paint chip near driver door handle (prior ownership)
• Small dimples on rear bumper
• Minor stone chips on hood
• Minor surface rust bubbling inside fuel door area

Recent lift inspection identified localized paint bubbling/corrosion beginning at portions of rocker panels near wheel-well/jack-point areas, with one driver-side jack point showing localized perforation. (Detailed underside photos available.) The surrounding underside otherwise presents solid visually and buyers are encouraged to inspect.
Interior remains in very good condition with:
• Minor scratch in wood dash trim
• Cracks surrounding radio flip door push bar
• Minor mounting holes on passenger side center console from prior phone mount

All electronics, seats, and windows functioning as they should.
All wheels excluding the full-size spare have been professionally refinished in the correct OEM finish, with no curb rash and only minimal imperfections.
Includes a set of Borbet Type H wheels with 225/55R16 Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D tires. Tires have good tread but are date-coded 2007 and should be considered for age before use.
Two keys, plus valet and wallet key. Original manuals and tools.
Carfax may reflect an additional owner due to transfer between personal ownership and family trust ownership during my 22 years with the car. I have been the continuous caretaker and operator of the vehicle since purchasing it in October 2003.
Clean title.
