(Please disregard "Feeler:" in heading)
My brother is asking me to help him sell his 1995 540i. It is has the following options:
Very RARE & DESIRABLE 6 speed manual transmission
Dinan's ECU software
Dinan's High Flow Induction tube
performance exhaust pipes
recent shock and strut replacement, Bilstein performance suspension
107,000 miles
4.0L 282hp- DOHC V8 engine, replaced by BMW at 55,000 miles
18" BBS wheels with brand new high performance tires
12 way power driver's sport seat
Power moonroof
4 wheel ABS
recently replaced shocks and struts with upgraded sport suspension
Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo with aux (iPod/mp3) connection, 6 disc CD Changer
Pristine beige leather interior / Alpine white exterior

Plus other upgrades.


He's thinking about $8500-9000. Would anyone on this forum be interested at that price? Because I'm new, I can't post pictures or URL's but I have a web link available with many photos. Just email if interested. Any realistic* thoughts are appreciated. (*Not, it will only sell for $2000 and I'll be happy to take it off your hands for that.) Thanks.

Sounds like a nice car. Is the block Alusil or the original Nikasil? You can find out more about this here (http://koalamotorsport.com/article-m60v8.asp).

The block is Alusil. The engine was replaced by BMW, I can't remember when, somewhere between 50k -75k miles.

I think he should give you his 540 and you should give him your Pacifica.

does the car have full maintenance records. Very interested in your car.

Yes, there is full maintenance records of everything ever done to the car.

A thousand apologies. I must correct this statement. My brother indicates he has records from the engine replacement by BMW (done at about 56,000 mi), forward. I'm sorry to anyone and everyone about the misinformation. See post #16 for source of complete records and vehicle details. Link on post #6

Please everyone, note correction on maintenance records. My brother only has records from engine replacement by BMW (about 56,000 mi) to current. Sorry for the mistatement. Complete, accurate vehicle information, including maintenance records spreadsheet can now be seen at travelloversinc link noted above in post #6.

This is an amazing looking car. Saliva dripping...

I think your bro should give you more details on the mechanical condition for you to post. The exterior cosmetic is flawless for me. Perfect actually for a car that old.

What needs to be done mechanically?
