I am selling my 2002 540i 6-speed. It is Sterling Gray Metallic with a black leather interior. It has ~64k miles.

Options it is equipped with:
-Nav
-Cold weather package
-Xenon lights
-Park distance control
-DSP Stereo

Extras it currently has:
-Heavy duty rubber floormats
-StealthOne--If you are not familiar with this, it is a FANTASTIC product. It allows the Valentine One radar detector arrows and "bogey count" indicator to be integrated into the dashboard or the nav screen display. Installation was a b*tch, so I am leaving it in the car. However, I am taking the V1 with me.
-Ice>Link plus--This allows for direct integration of an ipod into the factory sound system. The song/artist info can be displayed on either the nav screen or the dashboard display. The ipod can be controlled through the steering wheel stereo control buttons.
-Upgraded, dvd-based nav system--the car originally came with a cd-based nav system which required cd's to be switched as you moved to different geographical locations. This upgraded, dvd-based system eliminates that annoying requirement.
-Goodyear Eagle F1 GS/D3s--Great tires which I got last fall. They still have plenty of life left.

The car is in very good condition. It does have a few minor scratches (all of which were there when I bought it almost 2 years ago). It has been well cared-for since I've owned it. I keep it in a garage and I wash/wax it regularly. It runs perfectly well. It's an absolutely phenomenal engine which pulls strong in any gear, at any speed.

I am selling it because it simply is not comfortable for me. I'm 6'5", and the seating position becomes really uncomfortable after a couple of hours.

I am asking $21,500.

I will post pictures in the next day or so. In the meantime, please PM me with any questions/concerns/offers. I am interested in a quick sale, so if you're interested please let me know. If I don't get any interest I'll just be trading it for my new car, but I thought I'd try here first.

Thanks to those who have expressed interest. I have replied to all emails, so if you were expecting a response and haven't gotten one, please let me know.

I took these last night. I think that they accurately capture the condition of the car. I haven't washed it in a couple of weeks, so my apologies for the dirty wheels. Speaking of wheels, they are all in great shape, except for the passenger rear wheel which has about 4" of curb rash on it.

The close up of the mirror is to show a pretty decent scratch that was there when I bought the car. Similarly, there is a scratch on the rear driver's door handle, which was also there when I bought it.

It's been an absolutely fantastic car to drive, and I'm really going to miss the power of it.

If any of you have any questions or would like any specific pictures, please let me know.

UPDATE

I am going to the dealership this afternoon to put down a deposit for ordering my next car. They estimate it will take 4-6 weeks for the car to arrive. That means that anyone interested in my car has about a month to get things in order for buying it. It's priced below blue book value, but above tradein value. I figure that if I can do better than trading it and give someone a decent deal on a great car at the same time, it's a win-win situation.

Also, if anyone wants to make me an offer different from my asking price, I'll gladly entertain it as long as there is sufficient justification for it.

And as always, don't hesitate to drop me a line if you have any questions or would like additional pictures. I plan on giving it a good detailing this weekend, so I'll try to post up some clean pictures afterwards.

Car is still here. I went to the dealership Friday and they estimated 6-8 weeks to get my new car here. So if you are interested, please let me know. If you want to put down a few hundred bucks to hold the car while you work out financing, that's fine with me as well.

Let me know if you have any questions about this great car!

The car is still here. I will be glad to entertain any offer that is more than I would get for a tradein. I expect to get ~$19k for a trade, so I think that my asking price is already pretty reasonable. If anyone thinks I'm off base please let me know.

I appreciate the interest I received, but unfortunately my car is no longer available. I picked up my new car on saturday and traded the 540 in.
