1995 540i M Sport Supercharged

This 1995 BMW 540i M Sport is one of just 139 6-speed equipped examples produced for the US in 1995. In many ways this car foreshadowed the upcoming E39 car, ut this extensively modified example takes it one step further. The car has around 500 horsepower on tap from its Procharged 4.0L V8 plus extensive supporting modifications like a stiffened chassis, 5 clutch, 31 8-series front Brembos and E34 M5 rear brakes. Overall this is a clean sleeper hotrod that comes with a clean Carfax viewable below and benefits from substantial recent maintenance.

Finished in its original Alpine White and fitted with 18″ M-Parallels rather than the M-System “Throwing Star” wheels originally used on the model, his car looks largely stock and doesn’t give many hints at what lies under the skin. It is moderately lowered with Vogtland Springs and adjustable Konis, nd the rear shows subtle twin tips at the end of a 3-inch exhaust. The only other noted exterior modifications are to the lighting, n the form of Hella clear/red tails, uro “Smiley” headlights with TSX HID retrofit, ID fogs, nd euro bumper trim which deletes the lower turn signal repeaters.

The engine is not original to the car, t is an OEM replacement done by BMW 55k miles ago, nd sits in a very nicely organized engine bay. Fitted with a Procharger F-1 supercharger, rocharger BOV, ir to water intercooler, iller MAF and Miller War Chip this bay looks about as clean and factory-correct as any extensively modified car we’ve ever seen. Other supporting modifications include an E39 M5 clutch, iemens 60lb injectors, olyurethane motor mounts, UC short shifter and UUC DSSR.

Braking is handled by e31 8-series front Brembos and e34 M5 rear brakes, nd the chassis is stiffened with front and rear seat bars by Racing Dynamics and a front strut tower bar by the same company. Recent maintenance includes the front control arms, ie rods, ower steering hoses, rans mounts, nd drive shaft center support bearing. Additionally the valley pan gasket, ater pump, uibo, ll bushings, il valve, il vent valve plate, ntake gaskets, am sensor, uel filter, ll belts and hoses have already been taken care of. Unusually for such a heavily modified car, he A/C is said to blow cold.

Again, ll parts above have less than 3000 miles on them, just had the car sent to dan miller, wner of miller performance and the car is set up with a very conservative tune. All piping was redone by Dan and he installed anything it needed. Motor is built to handle 500rwhp and is near that. A smaller pulley could produce 550+ hp . Car has about $45000-$50000 dollars into it
