The ’95 \/\/\/M Sport 540i market just continues to improve, at least for the fortunate few who own one and decide to sell. I’ve written about a couple other similar cars here before<\/a>; they were pretty nice cars too, and the asking price on this one is just that much higher. <\/p>\n

This is one of the few e34s I’d really like to own. But like my other old BMWs, I won’t likely be buying one like this; it’ll likely be a clapped-out, neglected POS that I’ll massage back to driver status over time. It’d sure be nice to buy something that’s been kept up like this car, but… I’m cheap that way. <\/p>\n

1995 BMW Sport with the $7500 M Package.

This is not the typical 540i 6 speed sport. BMW had a special option which added most parts of the European M5 of that era.<\/p>\n

BMW records indicate that only 135 manual ( 6 speeds) were built and 65 automatics for a total of 200 hours.<\/p>\n

This is one of the nicest ones left. Please note, sometimes this car is referred to as the “M-Sport” or 540i with M sport Package. I have been a BMW owner and car club member for almost 40 years and this is by far one of the best BMW’s I have ever owned.<\/p>\n

I do have a Autocheck and no accidents are verified on this.<\/p>\n

Car has 74,000 miles and has been obsessively maintained. Note mileage can change slightly as I occasionally drive the car. I drive the car often enough to keep it fresh.<\/p>\n

I truly think I have taken care of every area of concern that our enthusiast community thinks about.<\/p>\n

Here is a short list:<\/p>\n
