Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1997 BMW 540i sedan has a desirable 4.4L V8 and automatic transmission, with only 73k miles. It features Alpine White paint, black leather interior, and 17" Style 32 wheels, offering a classic E39 experience at no reserve.
Condition
7
The car has relatively low mileage for its age and appears to be in good mechanical condition with recent gasket replacements and brake work. However, it is a 1997 model, and while the exterior and interior are described as 'Alpine White over black leather', no specific condition details beyond the standard features are provided, suggesting it may have minor cosmetic wear typical for its age. The rating reflects a solid vehicle with potential for minor reconditioning.
