2001 BMW 540i - low miles, clean title, Carfax and all service records!BMW 5-series - 4 Door touring Sedan 4.4L V8 This is a clean 2001 BMW 540i with original 81, 550 miles in great mechanical condition - all major services are done. I'm the 2nd owner with clean CA title in hand & a copy of Carfax report. Registration is paid through March 2016, CA smog check inspection passed on Aug. 3rd. I have records of all maintenance I paid for (serviced at Indy shop) and a complete file of dealer records from the first owner, who took good care of it in Marin County, CA.
Comes with these amenities and options, in great working condition: ski package, fog lights, power windows/doors/seats, dual climate control, security alarm, sunroof, front and rear parking sensors, cruise control, premium sound, CD player, AM/FM radio, traction and stability control, full size spare tire, spare keys and a tool kit. All electronics work well, as well as AC & heating. It's a reliable and well maintained BMW that hasn't been raced or abused; car pulls strong & straight, transmission is smooth, no check engine lights on.
A lot of important & expensive preventative maintenance was done over the past 10 months: new water pump, fan shroud, thermostat, alternator, four new struts, spark plugs, fuel filter, valve cover gaskets, lower radiator hose, cabin air filters & K&N air filter. Coolant flush done, power steering fluid, brake fluid flush and transmission oil & filter were also replaced.
Four new Bridgestone Potenza tires (225/55R16) were put on at ~68K (with a 45, 000 mile warranty from America's Tire Co.). New front floor mats, windshield wipers & driver's door handle. In July 2015, both rear rotors, brake pads and a sensor were changed. Engine oil & filter was just changed too, as well as air temperature sensor and plastic under-guard below the front bumper. I used Amsoil synthetic Euro 5W-40 oil in the engine and Signature Series ATF in transmission.
Previous owner had Sonnen BMW in San Rafael replace the radiator, power steering pump, lower control arm bushings, alternator & drive belts and other expected maintenance - over $21, 000 in documented dealer services.
This 540i has always been filled up with Premium fuel (Shell only), so it averages ~20 mpg on each tank - 27+ mpg on hwy. Besides window tint, everything is original, including the paint, where many scratches accumulated over the last 14 years, mostly on the hood & rear bumper. Please keep in mind that no used (14 year old) vehicle is perfect, expect some cosmetic defects and wear. I'm including $150+ in extras for this BMW - new radiator, passenger door handle, Mann oil filter & timing cover gasket set. The broken plastic cup holders and a minor oil leak (timing cover gaskets) are the only issues.
