Up for sale is my 2005 BMW 545i with the Automatic Transmission and 87,000 original miles. Has no oil leaks! This is an honest ad for enthusiasts who know these cars. The good, the bad, and the price reflects it.
The GREAT (Recent Investments):
I've done significant work to address common failure points:
Transmission Service: Fluid, filters, and new solenoids.
Critical Fixes: New alternator, battery, IBS, valve cover gaskets, water pump, water coolant pipe, and front brakes (rotors & pads).
Performance: New cold air intake, OEM mass airflow sensor, spark plugs, and coils.
Paperwork: Clean title in hand. Registration paid and current through December 2026.
This is a 19-year-old German V8. It is not a Toyota. It has the classic N62 engine quirks. While it starts, runs, and drives well right now, it should be considered a project or weekend car. It may have minor electronic gremlins, occasional sensor lights, or need attention down the road. It's for someone who enjoys tinkering or has a trusted mechanic.
The OPPORTUNITY:
For $6500 or best offer, you get a powerful, fun-to-drive classic BMW with a ton of recent major work already done. You're buying into the driving experience, not a daily driver appliance.
Perfect for a DIYer, second car, or passionate project. Sold as-is, where-is. Test drives welcome for serious buyers with cash in hand.
