I was driving right off of Highway 24 and noticed a "for sale" sign on an e39 540iT, pre-2001. If anyone would like more details I can take a closer look at the for sale sign. The exterior was a goldish color.

Ther is another one which I have been looking at but I need to see if he would come down on the price. If I could get him down on price, perhaps you could take a look or know of an independent shop in the area tha could look at it heres the link

send me an e-mail if you live near this guy. I'm still not 100% sure about the long distance purchase but after I talk to the guy is he is willing to go down on the price maybe you could take a look.

send me a pm, I'll send my e-mail address
