Description

BMW E39 540i Touring Automatic – Titanium Silver Metallic / Black Leather
A very rare opportunity to own one of BMW's finest ever estates – the legendary E39 540i Touring, finished in timeless Titanium Silver Metallic with black leather interior.

Powered by BMW's superb 4. 4-litre V8 producing 286 bhp and 440 Nm of torque, paired with the smooth automatic gearbox, this 540i delivers effortless performance, refinement and practicality in equal measure. With a 0-60 mph time of around 6. 5 seconds and a limited top speed of 155 mph, it remains an impressively capable performance estate even by modern standards.

These V8 Touring models are becoming increasingly hard to find, especially in this condition.

This example is presented in fantastic condition both inside and out. The bodywork is exceptionally well kept, with the Titanium Silver paintwork retaining a deep shine and the black leather interior showing beautifully, creating a truly premium cabin environment.

Mechanically, the car is equally impressive. It drives exactly as a well-maintained E39 V8 should, with strong performance, smooth gear changes and excellent road manners. The car has clearly been cherished and maintained to a high standard throughout its life.

All books are present and correct, and the car comes with two keys, further demonstrating the level of care and completeness that is often missing from examples of this age.

The E39 is widely regarded as one of BMW's greatest achievements, and the 540i Touring sits near the top of the range, combining V8 power, long-distance comfort and everyday practicality in a package that is becoming increasingly collectable.

A rare, sought-after modern classic that is ready to be enjoyed by its next enthusiast owner.

Serious enquiries welcome.
