Description
For Sale: 2001 BMW 540i E39 - Japanese Import
Up for sale is my 2001 BMW 540i E39 (Japanese import). Currently on 97,000 miles.
MOT valid until 28 Jan 2026
Originally imported in May 2018 with 116,000 km - the cluster was converted to miles at that time. Owned since Nov 2019 and have put just under 20k miles during my ownership. Please keep in mind the car is 25 years old so the paint is not perfect and can do with a polish.
Automatic gearbox
Bilstein B14 coilovers
Eisenmann 2x76mm performance exhaust
CarPlay and reverse camera
Genuine staggered M5 wheels
Maintenance:
Gearbox serviced - June 2021
Full cooling system refresh - Sept 2024
Front suspension refresh - June 2025
Annual service with oil + filters.
Issues to Note:
Rear driver-side window not working (likely window regulator)
Passenger window trim unpainted
Windscreen washer system needs replacing - full replacement kit included
Slight squeal on cold start - CCV likely the cause (new CCV + gasket included)
Small crack on the front bumper.
Rust on rear driver-side arch - photographed. All sills are still solid.
I have highlighted all the above for full transparency. These have been factored into the price.
Happy to answer any questions and test drives welcomed with proof of insurance. Please note that I may not be able to respond during the day due to work commitments.
