This 2000 BMW 540i is a Canadian-market example that is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over black leather and powered by a 4.4-liter V8 fitted with a Dinan Vortech supercharger and paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Additional modifications include a Quaife limited-slip differential, a Zionsville aluminum radiator, xenon headlights, 18″ Breyton Magic wheels, European-specification floating rotors, M-specification bumpers and spoilers, and a Dinan exhaust system, cold-air intake, throttle body, and engine management software, Stage 2 Koni dampers, sway bars, and strut tower braces.
The car is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic (354) and features Shadowline trim, retrofitted xenon headlights, an M5-specification front bumper cover, an M-Sport rear bumper cover, a trunk lip spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets.
Staggered-width 18″ Breyton Magic wheels wear Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires showing 2017 date codes, and a matching spare is stored beneath the trunk floor. The suspension is said to feature Dinan Stage 2 components including Koni dampers, Dinan sway bars, and front and rear Dinan strut tower braces. Braking is provided by red-finish calipers and European-specification floating rotors fitted with Hawk HP+ pads. Work in February 2021 reportedly included replacement of the front struts and rear ball joints as well as installation of Turner monoball thrust arm bearings. Curb marks are noted on the right-rear wheel as well as the spare.
The cabin features seats trimmed in black Montana leather with matching carpets and door panel inserts, while burl wood trim aLents the dashboard, center console, and doors. Appointments include heated and power-adjustable front sport seats with driver’s memory function, dual zone automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, BMW-branded rubber floor mats, a rear window sunshade, lateral rear sun blinds, fold-down rear seats, and a factory CD stereo.
The multifunction M-branded steering wheel wrapped in leather fronts a 250-km/h speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer, along with gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, and fuel economy. The digital odometer shows under 74k kilometers (~46k miles). Pixels are missing from the digital readout below the instruments.
The 4.4-liter M62 V8 has been fitted with a Dinan Vortech V2 supercharger and a Zionsville aluminum radiator as well as a Dinan exhaust system, cold-air intake, throttle body, and Stage 4 engine management software. The valve cover gaskets, water pump, coolant hoses, thermostat, and air-conditioning compressor were reportedly replaced at 65k kilometers (~40k miles) in 2014. Changes of the coolant and engine oil were carried out in February 2021, at which time the starter was also replaced.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a 3.15:1 Quaife limited-slip differential that was installed in May 2018 along with replacement differential bearings and seals. The clutch components were reportedly replaced in 2012 at 58k kilometers (~36k miles).
The car is supplied with factory books and manuals, three keys, a BMW-branded car cover, and a binder of service records.
