“They don’t make them like they used to” is a phrase heard all too often from auto enthusiasts. If you’re a true believer of the saying and you have a thing for mid-size Bimmers, then perhaps we can pique your interest with this 1995 BMW 540i that looks as good as it gets for an 18 year old car.
And why shouldn’t it since it only has a little over 20,000 miles on the odometer (20,095 miles or 32,332 km, to be precise). It gets even better as the 282hp (286PS) 4.0-liter V8 mill is connected to a six-speed manual – a rare option in the U.S. considering that only 3,203 stick shift 540i E34s were sold globally.
There is some bad news, though, as the Massachusetts seller states that the car’s original black paint was changed to the baby blue shade you see here in 2006 – of course, if you’re interested, you should check the car’s history.
Here’s what’s stated on the ebay ad:
“Here is a 1995 BMW 540i that drives the way it did when it first came off the lot. It is an excellent example of BMW finest engineering. As you can see by the pictures this car is flawless. It is part of a private collection. The color was originally Black, but we had it painted the current color. It was painted because the blue looks better… It was painted by BMW in 2006.”
The current price for the 540i is $10,500 or best offer (we’re guessing that the 38 watchers won’t be too pleased with us for sharing the story…).
