Default 98 BMW 540i 6 speed that was supercharged, but has the blower off . $5000

Name: manning
Location: car is in alexandria, 22307
Means of contact: email manningblanchard @ gmail dot com or PM
Price: $ 5000

I'll do my best to describe the car in as great detail as I can.

Lets start with the hard facts.

Car is located in alexandria, VA 22307

1998 Cosmos Black 540i/6 Sport.
VF engineering supercharged.
New BMW Hella HID's (from BMW)
~143k
M5 sways (rear installed, front not)
M5 shifter
JB Racing Alum Flywheel
Sachs HD clutch (I believe it's a 6puck?) stiff has heck.
3.15 Final Automatic/Touring Differential
Custom meth/water injection
Boost gauge.
Custom exhaust (magnaflow cats, magnaflow resonators, and magnaflow muffler, was originally a dual, now a single.
Cooling system was all replaced, one side of the valve cover gaskets has been replaced, new plugs, newish coil packs.
New front bumper and all underbody plastics/fogs.
Black kidney grills.
Car has the 6cd player in the trunk, and has the window shades in the back.
Cold weather package as well..
Black Leather interior.

Issues... the blower needs rebuilt, and it is off the car..it sucked up part of the BPV valve and has chipped the compressor wheel
CCV or intake gaskets should be done, car has a rough cold start when cold, never noticed it during the summer, but now that it's getting to 30degrees at night it's just a pain, I let the car warm up now, and it's good to go
Pretty decent oil leak somewhere behind the timing cover
It has had a weird thermostat issue where it will JUST start to over heat, then the thermo will open and she will cool RIGHT down, has never actually overheated.. no idea whats goin on here.
has a front end shake under braking, I have changed the thrust arms, and it got heaps better, but its still there
Interior trim was painted Sliver at one point, the center console is looking rough.


Car has been sitting at my parents house for a while now, a branch fell on the hood, glad to put this through my insurance to get the hood replaced.


Looking for 5000 bucks!


Here are some older pics!
















would love any comments or questions or advice.

Just let me know! thanks!

Thought this sounded familiar. What happened the first two times you posted it on here? Also, could you post some recent pictures? A Lot could change over the course of 2.5 years. I also notice the mileage is the same. Is it safe to assume that it hasn't moved in 2.5 years?

I would be also happy to let the car go for around 7000/obo as is..

Seriously, is this for real ? You know anyone who is gonna make an offer will eventually wanna see the car. If this is a scam you sure are looking for a real niche crowd...
On the other hand if you have time to show the car this weekend PM me.
