I am looking at getting a 2002 bmw 540i v8 6 speed wagon.
Paying about 7000 with between 150,000 to 200,000 kilometres on it.
Will i done goof?
too much $$
otherwise nice find
The wagons never left the factory with a 6 speed, so as long as it's not a total hackjob by the previous owner, go for it.
Gas mileage leaves something to be desired.
Looks like it could use a sedan bumper if they fit tho

i believe they came in manual in euroland

Sure? Wikipedia sourcing this so grain of salt but any v8 after 1998.03 with vanos had the 6 speed.

Correct am living in europia
i drive a 2000 540i sedan 6 speed
great car but prepare to spend the price of the car and more if you care about everything besides the motor and transmission working and looking good

yeah, but if this thread is about euroland, that's 7000 euros for a 15 year old car.
why not 530 dat if you're going for a wagon

You better have money for the petrol.
Expect no less than 20l/100 in the city.

Old bimmers, especially like the one OPs looking for, don't depreciate that much since they are quite rare.
Here, in continental Europe, people usually buy diesels.

Taking your advice and looking at this.
Has new flywheel, throwout bearing, clutch. has some of the M sport features like stearing wheel and gearknob. widened rear with spacers. tuned to 260hp and has a different exhaust manifold.

gladly not too much city driving as we are in the farmlands of germany so its a fair bit of freeway driving.

But if it's a 15year old car that you want AND is in great condition, it's cheap as fuck.
this one seems decent, 2002 540i 6speed fully equipped, only 5400€

only you would have to travel to northern europe to see the car
