2001 540i M-Sport 6-spd. The car currently has 131,040 miles. I'm the 3d owner and have had the car about 6 months. I***8217;ve had a career change recently and need to change vehicles to match my new role (large truck) otherwise I***8217;d keep this beautiful car. Car drives great ***8211; lots of torque available and cruises nicely on the freeway. Cosmetically & mechanically this car shows like the garaged weekend car it has been all these years. Car is located in Reno Nevada

This car has the M Package including M series wheels, steering wheel, shifter, & seats w/memory settings. It also has heated seats, owners manual & BMW tools as seen in the pictures.

Previous two owners were a father & son, father had the car from new to 2010 and then the son (forum member) purchased it around 2010-2011 until I purchased it in February. The car was given a rebuilt title in 2001-2002 due to a flood at a BMW dealership in Houston. BMW rebuilt the car from whatever damage was inflicted and sold it to original owner in 2002. Previous owner said the car has given his family no issues for the entire 13 years they owned it outside of the regular BMW maintenance. I have not experienced any issues with the car in the time that I***8217;ve had it. I drove coast-to-coast when I purchased the car and added a few thousand local miles since.

Changes / Additions made in past few years:
***8226; Bilstein B14 PSS9 Coilover Kit
***8226; Dynavin (Navigation) Head Unit
***8226; M5 Front Bumper
***8226; M5 Rear Bumper
***8226; Front & Rear Control Arm
***8226; Tie Rods
***8226; Sway Bar Links Front & rear
***8226; Radiator
***8226; Water Pump
***8226; Cooling hoses
***8226; Replaced pixelated dash display
***8226; Spark Plugs
***8226; Drill & Slotted Brakes
***8226; Ceramic tint all around
***8226; M door sills

Additional parts that will come with the car:
***8226; Intake manifold from a 740. Previous owner was told it was possible to get an additional 10-15hp by swapping the intake. This was never performed or attempted and this part was passed to me with the car
***8226; Dynavin box and parts from the install

Known issues:
***8226; Trim piece from rear seat sill on the drivers side - won***8217;t stay in place due to a broken clip. Needs new clips or new trim piece.
***8226; One of the front cupholders is broken
***8226; Car leaks 1-2 drops of oil overnight
***8226; Original stereo is located in the glove box. Due to DSP the original head-unit is needed to route audio from the Dynavin unit to the speakers. Have not researched the issues around DSP and whether this can be changed/corrected
***8226; Outside temperature sensor reports incorrect readings ***8211; sensor likely needs to be replaced
***8226; Three chips on the front facia from road rocks. Overall the body & paint are in fabulous condition throughout
