Morning all
Update ... Unfortunately the deal with the gentleman in Michigan fell through, so the car is going to be listed on BAT in the next few weeks.

Here's some shots of the phot shoot we did yesterday with my I-phone, not the REAL shots taken by the photographer

hope you like
Cheers
Steve

Stunning build Steve. There's no way he could have been disappointed in the car, must have been something else.

Good luck with the auction! Let us know when it posts. I swing through BaT daily but only have time to go straight to the BMW 5 series auctions.

syborg tt 01-31-2026 06:32 AM

Sorry the gentleman backed out, but that is one stunning car

Trey ... did you see this ?

WSSix 02-02-2026 05:48 PM

No, I don't get a chance to go by Pcar. I should though just to drool. That's a fine example to drool over. Though, it really needs to come down from 4x4 mode.

I'm building up a 01 540iT to replace my sedan that had a tree fall on it. I'm not buying anything currently. I just like to dream, lol.

E39 models, especially the M5, are doing well market wise. They are phenomenal driving cars for the money. This is especially true of the regular V8 540i models. $12k will get you a gorgeous well cared for model. 100k miles is not a problem if maintained. If you can't or don't work on them yourself though, you're paying the BMW tax. I do my own work. I can't afford $20k in maintenance, lol.
