Default FS/FT Supercharged BMW 540i (~$40k invested, only 26k miles)

UPDATE 9/18: Well after turning down so many offers due to the fact i was giving a buyer time, i decided to say **** you to the guy i was waiting on. The car is FULLY on the market again. Feel free to shoot offers, and trades+cash, might even do a straight trade if the car is worth it.

I can be reached by email: gusisboosted@hotmail.com
or call me : (619)934-0902

Ok, on to the car heres a quick breakdown on it:

1997 BMW 540i.
Supercharged 4.4L V8.
five-speed A5S 560Z automatic transmission.
Body: 116,000 miles.
Drivetrain: 2,000 miles (it was fully rebuilt, also transmission)
*A 1997 was chosen for this build due to the fact that they had the best motors. Pre-Vanos FTW.
*Parts all add up to about $40,000 not including labor.
Engine has a VF engineering vortech supercharging kit.
Currently running at 7psi, which is a very safe tune.It is good for 410 horsies at the crank. Car can easily be (and actually should be) running at 9 psi, but since there is no need for the extra power I haven't upped the boost. But this can easily be done by new owner if you wish to do so.

Engine was FULLY rebuilt, and i mean FULLY. top and bottom.
Done by a very prestigious shop in SoCal.
Car was boosted about 20,000 miles ago.

Now, the exterior:
EVERYTHING is AC Schnitzer, even the mirrors.
All legit. For those who aren't too familiar with the euro scene, These effin parts are way expensive.
Front bumper is OEM M5, with special brake inlets built in, and a lil custom "ram air" inlet made by the shop.
VERY aggressive look, and all done EXTREMELY clean.

Interior:
Wood all swapped to aluminium.
E-Brake AC Schnitzer.

Ice:
Alpine media receiver.
Sub woofer/EQ controls on roof.
Custom built fiberglass sound system with one sub woofer in the trunk.
All component speakers have also been upgraded.

Suspension:
car is sitting on AC Schnitzer springs.

Exhaust:
AC Schnitzer exhaust.
Some very special cats that allow car to perform beautifully while maintaining legality in california. (goddamn cat set up ran almost 2k)

Rims:
19 inch AC Schnitzer Type II painted black.

Brakes:
Brembo Big Brake kit.

*Now, im pretty sure theres alot of stuff im forgetting.
All in all there is over $40,000 in parts that went into this build.
And god knows how many hours of work.

So what am i looking to get?
Well more than anything a car+cash trade would be nice.
A straight cash purchase would be pretty sick too.
As far as car for car trades.... i might be interested if its the right vehicle make an offer i might just like it.

YouTube- Supercharged e39 Walk through

NOW FOR SOME PICTURES (ill try to get some more,better pictures but i lost the cable to my camera so for now these will have to do):

Only interior pic i could find (but seats and everything else is in MINT condition):


Custom built trunk system:


Few group shots (as you can see mine is the sexiest):

haha, thanks guys.
Yes i am quite proud of my sexy black beast.

Now lets get some offers!!!

Keep in mind i would love to get a car+cash offer.
But also will consider trades for cars of equal value.

BUT if you are considering a straight cash offer, let me know.

Yeah man, ALOT went into building this thing.
AC SCHNITZER parts are ridiculously expensive, for example the mirrors cost a little over a thousand bucks, and so on, it adds up.

I really dont want to part it out. Since i feel this build is simply too impressive to break apart.

I also dont want people to think im asking $40,000 for the car ofcourse not, if i was looking to get that much i would just part it out haha....

As i said i will entertain offers, feel free to make them i am very open minded.

Nice Guy, seems really open, I doubt any Honda trades are worthy due to the caliber of his mods alone, cuz $45k in mods can buy my car 4x LOL in theory.

Thanks for the comments.

And yes blizzcon tickets would drop the price.... seriously.

As far as having sex with my car, i hate to say it, but if you offer enough i might leave you two alone in my garage for 30 minutes.... Just saying.

And rarespirits is right, i am pretty open minded, to be honest the whole reason im selling this car is because my daily driver got totaled when i left it parked outside....
Therefor i need cash to get two cars.

Thast why i have said that i would love to receive car+cash (since i already have my eye on a car i wanna buy for myself)

So come on people tell your friends, tell yourself, i need to get this done asap.
Life is hard for me and my girl with just one car.

All pms replied to.

There are what appears to be some serious offers, but until i have cash (or pink slips) in hand nothing is final.

car is still up for grabs!

How much cash would I have to add on top of this?
1999 Civic Si with 98XXX on the body.

Engine/Trans
1997 JDM ITR B18C with roughly 60XXX
VteccKidd RMF Style Narrow Header
J's Racing Carbon Fiber Intake
Apexi WS2 exhaust
Clutchmaster Stage 3 Carbon Kevlar Clutch. (needs replaced.)
Quaife LSD
ATS 4.9FD
B&M short throw shifter
Will include a Nitrous Kit. When I bought the car it was being sprayed. recently rebuillt the motor. has less than 1000 miles since the rebuild. has not been sprayed in the 2 years I have owned it. Will also need a new clutch but I am taking care of that.

Suspension/Exterior
Tokico Blues with Skunk 2 springs
Kuhmo Ecsta SPT dont have a size right now but I will get that for you.
16" Work Emotion CR-KAI
At one point I had a VIS racing carbon Fiber hood. Sold that cause I needed money. Bought a hood that someone had done an acid bath on and sanded it down and turned it into a chalkboard hood.


Interior
Del Sol SI seats. They sit a little bit lower than the stock ones.
Fusion Audio Ipod receiver
All Fusion Audio components.(tweeters, amps, door speakers, 6x9's)
Fusion audio 12inch sub.



The Bad:
NO A/C. Should have that before Import Alliance.
NO P/S If you want it then I can try and track it down to reinstall
NO Cruise.
Minor chips here and there. its an 11 year old car. ill try and get some of them fixed.
Front lip is pretty bad. the car sits very low and on these KY roads the front lip takes a beating. Ill try and get that replaced as well
