1999 BMW 540i 'LS Swap'

Sporting a trusty 5.7L LS1 V8 engine, this E39 540i offers a generous 420hp at the wheels to help it keep pace with modern rivals. The motor has seen a long list of upgrades to unlock more power, and it sports a Tremec 6-speed transmission with a limited-slip differential to help put the power down. This is a turnkey build and looks to be completely sorted and ready to take on the backroads.
