here i have for sale my baby,it`s a 99 s reg bmw 540
![](https://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d163/banhambuilt/bmw/both003-1.jpg)
this is a beautiful looking car and is finished in a great colour combination,
STUNNING CALYPSO RED METALLIC,WITH FULL LIGHT GREY
MONTANA LEATHER TRIM and walnut burr dash and door card trims.The
specification is matched only by the performance,which is frankly nothing short of
phenomenal.For those of you that have not experienced it,acceleration on these is
truly breathtaking.It is one of the few cars that will actually gently ease you back in
your seat as it climbs to practically three figures,in fact nearly 100mph in not much
more than 11 seconds! The 4.4 litre really does give practically the SAME economy
as the smaller 3,3.5 and 4 litre variants,and yet the performance off the 4.4 is
frankly on a different planet TOTALLY to the others! That is simply why the 540
is in such demand!!
110,698 miles
The phenomenal spec also includes some loverly upgrades,like the XENON lights,
factory fitted ALPINA spoiler and 18" ALPINA alloy wheels,Electric rear blind and
rear side window blindsets,as well as a host of other refinements which include
dual zone climate control.Electric 3 position memory SPORTS seats,Glass
sunroof,Tinted windows,great in the summer as they help to keep the car cool.
Electric steering column,Folding mirrors,Rear Park Sensors,Built in phone (all
hands free using the steering wheel).Auto tinting rear view mirror,The multifunction steering
wheel (not only controls the phone,you can change the radio stations,volume,
turn the cruise control on/off)
There is a ZAVOLI LPG system fitted on the 17/6/05,It has
a 90 litre tank across ways in the boot,There is still plenty off room in the boot for
shopping etc.The car changes over to lpg at 41 degress (so you don`t have to do
anything).It still starts on petrol but once it hits that tempreture it goes onto lpg.
LPG being at 51p a litre around here it has better economy than my dads Citroen
Berlingo.I usally get around 310-350 miles from a tank off gass,all for about £47.
Full steptronic automatic gearbox.The adaptive tiptronic gearbox with sport and
manual mode is just fabulous to use,it alters the way the car changes gear in
the most subtle of ways to give the most comfortable,economic and safe ride.
For example,when travelling downhill,particularly if you just touch the brakes,
the gearbox will automatically change down a gear,it`s so slight and seamless
one does not even notice,but it does so,to provide more control.Also in a traffic
jam for example,where the car senses it is just moving forward slowly a foot or
so and stopping,it will automatically start to pull away in sacond gear,providing
a smoother start,and better economy.Obviously if one then accelerated hard it
would immediately engage first gear for a faster acceleration.

Hi mate, what's the mileage on this?
My old man is retiring soon and wants to get another motor (stops him pinching mine!).
Pm me if you'd prefer.
Cheers
