This 2002 BMW 540i Touring was acquired by the seller as a stock example three years ago. Subsequent work at JVR Auto and Performance in Port Washington, New York included installation of a VF Engineering supercharger for its 4.4-liter M62 V8 as well a 6-speed manual gearbox, 3.46:1 limited-slip differential, KW coilovers, long-tube headers, BMW 760iL wheels, and more. Approximately 15k miles have been added since completion of the work in October 2017. This E39 is offered with a Carfax report, records from the previous owner, receipts for recent work, and a clean New York title in the seller’s name.

The exterior is finished in Alpine White III and features M5-style front and rear bumper covers and badging as well as a front splitter. The Carfax report indicates an accident in December 2013 involving a front impact with another vehicle, as well as an additional damage report from March 2014.

BMW 760iL wheels are painted black and wear 225/40 rubber up front with 255/35 tires out back. Suspension modifications include a set of KW coilovers, adjustable sway bars, and Powerflex polyurethane bushings all around.

The cabin is trimmed in tan leather with wood trim on the center console, doors, and dashboard. Factory equipment includes heated seats, a navigation display, a power sunroof, and a leather-wrapped M-sport steering wheel. The digital odometer displays just over 172k miles, about 30k of which have been added by the seller over the last three years.

The 4.4-liter M62 V8 has been fitted with a VF Engineering stage 2 supercharger as well as a Dinan high-flow throttle body and custom long-tube headers. A Dinan strut tower bar has also been added. Power is sent through a 6-speed manual gearbox sourced from another E39 and on to a limited-slip differential with a 3.46:1 gear ratio.

The video above shows a cold start and drive-by. Fluids for the rear differential and engine were changed three months ago.

Additional underbody photos are viewable in the gallery below. The seller notes an area of rust under the passenger-side rocker panel.

The Carfax report lists the incidents in December 2013 and March 2014, and shows longterm ownership prior to the seller’s acquisition in 2015.
