Hi Guys

I am very new to BMW Fanatics but have found the information very useful as I have been looking to replace my 2002 E46 325 CI since last year May when I flogged it. I considered many options but finally settled on this 2003 540i Sport Six Speed manual very desirable and very collectable. I haven't taken delivery yet but you can view some pic on this link, sorry they have already removed it but its silver with black leather with wood in-lays I would have preferred the silver but that’s ok, it has no sunroof and no PDC but most importantly it has a six speed manual, almost unheard of. It has 179 000 on the clock with full service history from the BMW dealer up until 85 000 then services were done with Ross Duncan Auto in Midrand, last service done on 176 000 two lights out on service indicator. It cost R99 000 way below retail, dealer would only replace the spare key and get the aircon to blow cold again, it has some small scuffs which I am more than happy to sort that out already had two new Contis’ fitted to the front. I also want the entire car to be detailed found Definite Detailing and Valet on the site but now realized that they are in Cape Town can anyone recommend a similar outfit in Jo’burg. Will post pictures of the vehicle as soon as I have it but will need some help again as I always struggle to post pics on a forum normally because they’re too big and haven’t figured out how to use the relevant software to decrease the size.

Thanks

Johann

Welcome to the forums venterj, seems like you got a good buy! The E39 540i's are awesome cars!!

As soon as you get her, post up some pics in the Showroom thread.

Just a heads up, I searched high and low for silver trim for my old 525i and couldn't find it anywhere apart from SMG in CPT and they wanted R14k for it, excl import from Germany. I'd swap my M5 interior but I like it too much :fencelook:
