Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 2003 BMW 540i M Sport sedan is a rare manual transmission example with 150k miles and a desirable California history. Despite its appealing M Sport package and solid mechanicals, the listing notes clear-coat failure, a non-functional sunroof tilt, and past reported damage, indicating some cosmetic attention will be needed.

Condition 

6

The car has M Sport features and a desirable manual transmission, but the Carfax reports damage in 2008 and 2016, there is clear-coat failure on the roof, and the sunroof tilt function does not work. These issues require some reconditioning.
