1998 BMW 540 - 6 speed manual transmission
In on trade at VSR Automobiles Inc. in Toronto is this very nice and clean 540i with a 6 speed box. This is a very fun and fast car to drive. Don't let the high kilometers fool you. This BMW has ben very well maintainned and has a strong motor, transmission and clutch. I have been happily using this BMW as my driver for months and only now have I put it up for sale. This is a fun, and cheap toy for BMW fanatics like myself. I have only done a couple of small mods like an M-spoiler and also new, blacked-out kidney grills. It has approx 309,800 kilometers and I have put on a few thousand with no issues. The silver exterior is very clean and rust free with just a few scratches here and there common of a car this old with these KM. It appears a couple of panels have been painted such as the front passenger fender. This car comes with a clean accident report from carproof. It also comes with the books and extra keys. Overall it is very nice. The interior is equally as nice. It does have one thing that i've never seen on any of the many 540's ive bought and that is cloth interior!!! It acually is very nice and great in the winter! There is some ripping on a couple of the seats but it is very, very nice overall. Everything including all power options, AC, heat and windows work. The only item I found not working is one of the passenger seat power settings. The car is fitted with 17" wheels with very good Michelin winter tires. No other sets to come with the car. The check engine light is also on. But again, I have been driving this car, had it checked for safety and it won't need much for an ontario safety. Lot's of clutch left and the motor is strong.
This auction is set up ONLY to accept reasonable offers. I will NOT give this car away and have no problem driving it, but if I get the right offer it's gone! Please ask all questions prior to making an offer. Have all funds in place, look over the vehicle if needed PRIOR to making an offer. Please do not waste my time as I promise not to waste yours. This is a good old car. I sold my last two 6-speed 540's for VERY good money and this one is MUCH nicer so please no low ball offers. I can arrange shipping anywhere in Canada at a very good dealer rate. Please email me your postal code for a quote. Car can be viewed anytime by appointment only at my lot at 1974 Dundas St. West. Always best to call first. This car is selling as-is where it is. My company policy is to not safety or etest any old cars.
Thanks for looking,
Vasco,

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
Even 'Ring taxi drivers need to respect the Green Hell
Wed, 06 Aug 2014The Nürburgring Nordschleife has the reputation as one of the most difficult tracks in the world to master - deservedly so. With 14 miles of roadway and about 160 corners over a massive amount of elevation change, the amount of grip can change from turn to turn. As the driver of the famous BMW Ring Taxi learned this weekend after a shunt into the barricades, the 'Ring can bite unsuspecting pros just as easily as amateurs.
The video of the incident below shows the M5 oversteering right into the wall as a phalanx of Porsche models arrive behind it. According to Bridge to Gantry, a website that specializes in news about the 'Ring, the taxi's passengers were picked up by another Ring Taxi and driven off with a fantastic story to tell their friends back home. "The accident happened at low speed, there were two passengers in the car, but no one had at any injuries," said BMW spokesperson Cypselus von Frankenberg to Autoblog via email.
The crash also closed track for over an hour to clean up and to haul the stricken BMW away. When a driver making a living from driving lap after lap at the Nordschleife has a crash even as seemingly minor as this one, it just goes to show why the course has the nickname 'The Green Hell.'
Behind the scenes of BMW's 'Drift Mob,' Part 1
Sat, 28 Jun 2014Generally speaking, marketing and journalism don't mix, but every now and then, what goes into the marketing of a car - the 2015 BMW M235i, in this case - is worth documenting. In that spirit, we took BMW up on its offer to bring us behind the scenes of its upcoming "drift mob" video, starring five red M235i coupes frolicking around a traffic circle in a major world city (BMW has asked us to be coy about which one so as not to blow its cover before the shoot).
The five drivers can all be considered legends of modern-day drifting and stunt driving: Rhys Millen, Samuel Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford and Conrad Grunewald.
As the only US media outlet in attendance, Autoblog plans to follow up with a full story on the experience once BMW polishes and releases the video in a month or so. In the meantime, check out our photos of this epic practice session we captured on our first day hanging with the crew, and be sure to watch this space for more behind-the-scenes action.
