FS: 2001 540i M-Sport 6 Speed!

[djc4]

Asking $8,000 firm.

This is an amazing car and is in tip top mechanical condition. Just tipped 120k.

Only 2 owners, non-smokers. Bought this car with 79k approx 3 years ago. Recently added four brand new Beyern Mesh 17" wheels and Goodyear Eagle F1 AS tires. Five original BMW M-Parrallel 66 M-Sport wheels also available. A lot of maintenance done, pm for more info.

I got married and my Wife can't drive a stick, so it's just not practical anymore. Every time I think about selling or trading it in, I get sad. I recently went to the dealership to test drive a Honda Fit and a Kia Forte... I almost cried. No torque, loud engine noise, and not german engineered. Don't know how I'm going to do it.

Let me know if you'd like more information.

Thanks for looking!

Maintenance Information: (per requests)
Previous to my purchase the radiator was replaced
Valve-Cover gasket & all hoses have been replaced 2/09'
Water-pump replaced 4/08'
MAF sensor replaced 7/08'
Crank-Case vent-valve and Thermostat replaced at the Dealer (Ann Arbor BMW) 2/07'

- check my previous posts to see what problems I've encountered since owning the car. I came to the forum for lots of help. I haven't seen a service engine/check engine light in almost a year. Car is running amazing, brakes are spectacular, and paint is in good shape. I have a large paint scuff on the rear bumper which the Collision center would cost around $250-300 to repair.

Interior Options
Black leather interior
Full M-Sport package (Sport seats, M-Sport steering wheel, M Shift knob)
Full winter package (Montana leather, Heated seats, Verona wood grain)
Interior Shades with power rear privacy shade
Moon-roof

- I still have the original window sticker showing the retail msrp of $60,000. I'll throw in the original 17" BMW M-Sport wheels with the car (you can throw winter tires on them if you like). The new Beyern Mesh 17" wheels have no scratches and the Eagle F1 AS tires have 70% tread remaining.

Go out and get yourself a station wagon with an automatic. Maybe a 2002 540iA wagon! Why torture yourself with Kia?

[Corey G]

To save yourself and others time you should post the recent maintenance and address if any of the usual things have been addresed-Cooling system, Vally pan gasket, VC cover gaskets, MAF, Susspension, etc?

I be interested in that info as well as interior color, and options it has. Interested in a trade for a 99 528iT? Black with tan interior.

when you sell this, because as clean as it is, it will sell. Go out and buy an auto 3 series. Just becasue you have to sell your bimmer dosent mean you have to go japanese or korean. I drive a 97 civic and hate it(except the handling)

[mizino]

Well let me put in my two cents...Teach her to drive a stick. She'll be better for it. Sure whe might burn through a clutch or two at the most, but still you'll save money over buying a new car. Plus when you look at the practicality of the whole thing, a fit won't hold as much as the 5, won't ride as nice as the 5, sure it might handle as well as a 5(lets not kid ourselves here its a glorified go-kart), and might get better gas mileage, but over all you'll have another car payment, plus gas, plus dealer fees, tax, tag, title, (rambles for a while), well you get the idea. On the other hand you teach her to drive stick, she learns a valuable skill for life, your current monthly expenses stay the same, and you might lose 2 or 3 grand if you don't take it to the dealer to replace the clutch she will invariably burn through learning.

I see an upside in keeping the BMW...but hey...I don't like FITs either.
