BMW 5 SERIES (1996-03) 540I 4DR SALOON 4.4 SPORT
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 5 SERIES (1996-03) 540I 4DR SALOON 4.4 SPORT is a premium, four-door executive saloon, combining the 5 Series’ family-friendly space with a powerful 4.4-litre V8 and a sportier feel.
It suits drivers who want comfortable motorway travel and strong performance, or enthusiasts after a distinctive older BMW; it is less ideal for anyone focused on low fuel bills. mycarcheck.com has only one lookup for this exact model, so its figures are a snapshot, not a dependable market average. That record shows 155,000 miles, six previous keepers and an average private-sale valuation of £800. Annual mileage is listed as zero, which should be treated cautiously.
Against rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Jaguar S-Type, it stands out for its engaging drive and design. The BMW 5 SERIES 540i Sport is a special, less economical choice than a standard saloon, so check service history and condition carefully before buying.
Considering a BMW 540i? Outstanding finance, theft, write-offs, hidden damage or suspect mileage could turn a great drive into a costly mistake. Enter the reg now and check before you buy.
