Description
This 2002 BMW 540i Sport Wagon is said to have been used as a corporate demonstration vehicle until it was sold in October 2003, and it has since been modified with a VF Engineering supercharger kit, a six-speed manual transmission, a Quaife limited-slip differential, 18″ multi-spoke wheels, wheel studs, coilover suspension, an Eibach rear anti-sway bar an ECS Tuning front big brake kit, a custom sound system, a short shifter, and an M5-specification front bumper, steering box, and instrument cluster.

Additional work included repairing an area of rust on the rear hatch, finishing the kidney grille surrounds to match the body, and replacing assorted trim, roof moldings, fender liners, weather seals, and more.
