Today we bring you a 2003 BMW 540i M Sport that's an oldie, but apparently, also a goody.

There's a long list of service and repair that's been done, and mods include the shocks, a struts kit, and the radio.

The seller says there's no rust and has never been in an accident. It's been summer-driven only and has a clean title with no fault codes.

It is over 157K miles, though.

This is a rare car, just one of 1,190 ever built.

It's a Michigan-based car -- which makes the lack of rust that much more impressive -- and you can see the list of service and a few more pics by clicking here. This one has a manual transmission.

The asking price is $15,540.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

These are amazing but I'd rather have an E34 535i. I'm more and more convinced that a BMW just isn't a BMW without an inline six.

"I have way more into the car than I’m selling it for." • Yes, you are the only individual in history in this situation.

Tim is simply trolling us now with these old, high-mileage, money-pit German pieces of junk. See also: yesterday's CP.

John Born in Detroit, with nearly everyone in my family involved in the auto industry. I've watched these kinds of dynamics for over 60 years and - not surprisingly - nothing's changed in regards to the auto industry's business culture or world perspective. Hard-core lobbying to impose 100% tariffs is yet another sadly tiring response to willing ignorance and unfounded arrogance the still pervades Ford, GM, and Stellantis. When they suddenly wake up to find their business is on fire - and not in a good way - they blame everyone but themselves. If they actually wanted to provide the world with the best, highest value products, then they actually need to do the work! Frankly, it's embarrassing to watch. Stellantis is feeling the pain right now, and Ford is right behind. And I would bet a dollar GM is not exactly looking at the brightest near-future. Yeah, they are way behind, and it's their own doing - again! Open the floodgates and let's duke it out! That should reawaken what was once upon a time an American industry that was envied around the world. Not a collection of whining losers.
