98 540i with lots of goodies

[chivas]

Need something with more room and the 5 just doesn't have enough. here's a quick list of what i have:

M5 LSD 3.15 diff
ACS mirrors
ACS rear spoiler
JB Racing ltw flywheel (better then fonzzidanza or anything out there)
Clutchmaster stage I clutch (good for 550+ hp like the 540 would ever really reach it)
Sunscreen
M5 headliner (suede/alcanteria)
M5 shifter (light up shifter)
M5 leather center console
M5 rear sway bar
M5 door panels = leather
M5 rear view mirror
Blistein Sport Shocks
H&R Race springs
Magnaflow 14862 exhaust with resonator (OEM resonator is heavy and too restrictive)
Fikse Profil 13 rims with custom powder coated gold center
P39's with HID 6000K
projector fogs to match the projector lights
Widescreen nav
Navigation
MB Quart speakers all around
Hella smoked CELIS rear tail lights
Dinan front strut bar


here's a pic before the ACS mirrors:

She's in the body shop getting her dents taken care of. Why the sudden urge to sell? You love that car. You even figured out how to get >20mpg.

[Michael Star]

Want to sell either the m5 or eibach rear sway?

[cjwheeling]

That seems like a steal at 13K unless it's got a ton of miles. Good luck with the sale.

[dboy11]

How hard have you driven this car?

[chivas]

143K miles... not much really.


EDIT: i just looked, it's actually 143 and not 147K miles.


How hard have you driven this car?

let's put it this way, i am able to record almost 30 mpg and get 400 miles out of a tank of gas.

[swordfish0416]

i am pretty sure u can get 400 miles out of a tank of gas?
i mean if its all highway. thats not hard to do.

[gumbi4u]

Cant believe you are selling the car. Thats ****. What do you need more room for? Another dog or something? Wake the f*ck up. Yeah go ahead and buy an X5 (Made in South Carolina)


BTW that Eibach rear bar is mine. I will pick it up at the meet from you. Lets not get all teary eyed about it.

[cjwheeling]

Does the orbit come with the car?

[chivas]

yeah.. i'll throw it in there for free! :D

[cjwheeling]

If only I didn't already have one just like it.... BTW, for those of you who don't know, this combo is basically an M5 with around 80 HP less and a motor that doesn't cost $20K to replace if it goes bad. I've been cruising around in a very similar car and it drives almost as quickly as my M5 I just sold. 140K miles is just broken in. :thumbup:

buy mine first then sell your's. :D

[525iT_Feen]

Your crazy. But good luck!

[ashton540]

Dan this is a sweet car and if the time and the money were right I would definitely buy this car. I love it, and those Black back seat head rests are pretty unique. Although if I did buy it I'd have to drive all the way to NJ and I don't think I have it in me. I travel enough. Haha and we both know that we can't get a Paypal transaction right to save our life! :rofl: Good luck with the sell though man.

[JoeFromPA]

Chivas/Dan - Where in NJ are you located? (Sorry if I missed it somewhere!)

Really nice rear-end ya got there.... :)

[chivas]

thanks ash! i'm not selling her stongly. just casually throwing it out there.

Joe: i'm in Fort Lee... for you, just take I80 east all the way and you're in my back yard.
PS: why you checkin' out my rear end? i'm asian, i got none! :P
