She's got 130k on the clock. had her for just over a Month now. Saw her one day at a BMW dealer in the service court, so I left a note on the car. The owner phoned me the next day to say "oh, so you want to buy my car do you?" He'd had her for 7 years and thought, oh well, maybe it's time for a change...

Thanks WyKID. Camera-wise nothing special, just a Sony H9.

did u put an aftermarket pdc

hey naushad. No, actually. Car came like that, but there is no PDC button on the dash, so I'm assuming that when they spec'd up the car, the M-Tech bumpers had the PDC sensors, but the car was not originally spec'd with PDC, or there is another way of enabling it on start-up which I have not stumbled across yet.

hey ivan2terrible. Actually, the car came with the M-Parallel Spoke 66 rims, which I promptly swopped with the Style 32's. I had hunted the Style 32's for AGES before coming across a good pair that I then had resprayed. They were on my previous 5'er, a 528i manual, but didn't actually look that good on that car. They look better on this car as it seems to sit lower than the 528, I assume due to the different setup. I will be selling off the M-Parallels soon, but will post that in the right spot when I do. Keep looking. You'll find a pair...is it for a 540?

"...it's a keeper....."

That is the understatement of the century :)

It is so rare that you see the e39 M-techs, and here you are with a 540i manual m-tech, awesome car man, awesome car :drool: :dropjaw:

Hi Sankekur. Thanks. I do realize how fortunate I was running into this car as I had been stubbornly looking for a manual 540 for over 2 years and this was actually the first "face-lifted" manual 540 I have ever seen. I had looked at many auto's and had actually reached the point where I had given up trying, resigning myself to the fact that I was going to keep my 528i Manual (also a brilliant car) with over 290k on the clock and just keep her as mint as I could afford. That's how I ended up at the dealer where I saw this car...picking up parts for the 528. Pure luck! Also, the previous owner was a 63 year old chap and a heck of a nice guy which made the sale just that little bit less stressful.
