Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 2003 BMW 540i M Sport sedan is equipped with the desirable M Sport Package and powered by a 4.4L V8 engine. Despite recent maintenance and new tires/brakes, the car shows signs of wear including "minor damage" from a parking incident that required bumper replacement and refinishing, along with other cosmetic flaws like rock chips and a cracked windshield gasket.

Condition 

5

The car has 'minor damage' noted on Carfax due to hitting a concrete column, resulting in front bumper replacement and rear bumper refinishing. There are visible rock chips, cracking windshield gasket, and a broken cupholder. While mechanical components like the water pump and valve cover gasket have been addressed, and tires/brakes were recently replaced, these cosmetic issues prevent a higher rating.
