This 1997 BMW 540i sedan has 46k miles and has been registered in California since new. The seller purchased the car in 2025, and service since then has included replacement of the timing chain, timing chain tensioners, timing cover gasket, front crankshaft seal, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, spark plugs, drive belts, air filters, fuel filter, throttle body cables, intake hose, front and rear brake rotors and pads, battery, passenger-rear window regulator, windshield cowl, and weather seals, as well as refinishing the hood. The car is finished in Glacier Green Metallic over Gray Montana leather and is powered by a 4.4-liter M62 V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a sunroof, rear parking sensors, mud guards, 17″ Style 19 alloy wheels, a sport suspension, power-adjustable front comfort seats with driver-position memory, folding rear seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, an onboard computer, a Hi-Fi sound system, a cassette stereo, an obsolete BMW car phone, a trunk-mounted six-disc CD changer, and a ski bag. This E39 540i is now offered at no reserve with the owner’s manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name. The car is finished in Glacier Green Metallic and features an electric sunroof, rear parking sensors, mud guards, and fog lights. The windshield cowl, front and rear windshield weather seals, and driver-side door seals were replaced in August 2026.
