Your car looks like it is in great condition, I have seen some reach 400000km with ease.

Welcome welcome! Good looking car you have there.You'll fit in perfectly as we have a huge E39 following on the forum :thumbs:

It is a solid engine. has few minor issues, but nothing on the engine side,replaced cam and crank sensors and the MAF. Used to be my daily drive. Owned her since 280k so in 3years if done 40k. Finished studies etc and started working so buying another car now and turning 540 into my weekend car, letting her rest while she gets the TLC she deserves.


Thanx to all the warm welcomes.
