One-Owner 1999 BMW 540i

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

“Superb, stunning...an engineering masterpiece.” Motor Trend heaped praise on the 540i while naming this sport sedan its 1997 Import Car of the Year. And it certainly looked the part: its lines were clean, aerodynamic, and beautiful, with flared wheel arches and a compact nose that accentuated its silhouette. But the real genius lay under that stunning body.

The sturdy E39 chassis was adorned with a lightweight aluminum MacPherson strut front, multilink rear suspension and powerful four-wheel disc brakes. And thanks to near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, the 540i exhibited exceptional handling. Under the hood, a 4.4-liter V8 featuring dual overhead cams and 32 valves provided 282 horsepower — the 540i could fly from 0-60 in only 5.6 seconds.

Factor in the sumptuous, comfortable leather interior’s long list of standard features, and it’s clear why Motor Trend celebrated the 540i as “Simply in a class by itself. Matching blazing acceleration with the agility of an autocrosser, it truly is the ultimate sport-luxury four-door.”

This 1999 BMW 540i is equipped with the five-speed automatic, and wears the high-performance M suspension and 17-inch wheels.
