    E39 and E21.

    1999 540i/6, 119k miles, Columbia SC.

    Well, it's time to move on. I love this car but there's an E30 that's calling my name in the lower part of the state, and well...we all know how it is.

    6200 firm

    Aspen Silver over black sport leather, 119k. Clean, previous owner also has an S52 swapped E30 M3. I think he's on the forums somewhere. It was a CPO car and has a clean carfax. During his ownership he went through the front suspension and cooling system. I'm working on getting proof of this from the indie shop where the work was done but I can't promise that they'll come through.

    It has DEPO smoked headlights, taillights, and side markers. All of the windows work now, I replaced two regulators. The CD player pixels are all there but some of the pixels above the steering wheel are starting to go, very typical E39 problem. Sport memory seats. UUC Big Boy adjustable clutch stop and CDV delete. I have recently replaced the air filter, coolant overflow tank, and coolant level sensor. It has a non-OEM 6 disc in the trunk. Nicely refinished staggered 17" Style 32s with good tread on the tires.

    As you can see the roof trim/luggage rack covers need to be repainted. They pop off so you can just take them in for paint while you keep driving the car.

    Also the airbag light is on from my replacement of a front window regulator. The airbag is back in now and good to go but I have to get the code cleared. I've been quoted $90 to fix this from a local shop.

    Car pulls hard and strong, but I've treated it like a queen. Never raced, launched, or abused. This is the nicest car I've ever owned. ***Price drop***Asking $6200. Would only trade for a clean E30 and cash. You can call or text at 910-612-three zero four six.

    Pics! I'm going to clean the interior tomorrow and get more shots there.

    Listening to offers! I got a $90 quote to get the airbag light cleared and I would've done it, but I was going to have to wait an hour. I haven't had a chance to look at the 'check rear light' situation yet.

    Any accidents? Timing chain ramps noisy or done?

    Sorry about the previous double post.

    Accident free. Timing chains and guides are original and not noisy. I used to stay up at night worried that they were going to fail on me but then this poll happened over on the E39 forum and I've felt better since.

    Also I fixed the 'check rear lights' message on the MID. Guess what, one of the bulbs was out, duh.

    Would trade it for an E36, too! Only real requirements are air and a 5 speed. Open to all engines and bodies and stuff.

    Looks clean. The non foldable rear seat looks better because its formed for 2 people, unlike the foldable one that is flat like a bench.

    Yeah, I'm told the formed rear seat is a 6 speed/Sport package feature. Definitely pretty cool.

    Front right window regulator died again. Price drop. $6200 or trade for a 318.
