I’m lucky to be reminded daily. Here’s my 09 Aero XWD

Sterling Gray Metallic and Jet Black Metallic (Saab, Jet...get it??) so classy, sporty, yet boring?

So...making s car with similar weight and LESS power than an MR2 Spyder. A car that was decried for being underpowered 15 years ago.

Nice job! I know I’m about 10 months behind, but I just pulled the trigger on an 02 540i Wagon. Sterling grey, M-Sport, 125k.

It’s funny you mention all these things that went wrong (sorry for resurrecting an old post...I just bought an 02 540i Touring). I had the pixels fixed ($200 for both radio and cluster) , and I repaired my drivers seat yesterday ($0 in parts, only an afternoon). There is SO MUCH information online for these cars, and…

I ended up paying (before repairs I’ve done...lights, pixels, cracked rim, etc) $4999 plus whatever the cost was to fly to NYC from Dallas, and fuel to drive down. I didn’t need a hotel room because Wagon. :) it had about 125k on it, now with almost 128k.

I know this is about a year old, but I have to share; I just purchased a 2002 540iT a few weeks ago! Sterling grey, M-Sport with the M5 wheels. Absolutely love the car! Torque for days, super classy, as parts are EVERYWHERE! Replaced the headlights, got the dead pixels repaired (GermanAudio Tech! Check them out!), and…

Agree!! I searched for months for an e39 wagon (with the 4.4) and the sport package and it was almost impossible to find at a decent price! Most with the sport were 525i, and most 540i were non sport. Wound up finding an 02 in sterling grey, sport, with M5 wheels. I love it! (Having the pixel issues fixed and the new…

Why hasn't anyone suggested a Viggen?!? Perfect condition examples can be had for under $10k all day long!

I had been watching it for a while. It was listed for $6450 and no one bought it. He re-listed for $5450 and I pounced. Made an initial offer of $5200 and didn’t hear anything, so I figured WTH, I’ll just do the BIN price. Flights from Dallas to Midway were $119+ And I was READY! There are others out there but the…

I hit buy it now for $5450 and the seller backed out. So technically this shouldn't be on the list. :-/ ruined my day yesterday.

I won the auction for that beauty yesterday only to have the seller back out. I. Was. PISSED!

That's a nice one! Not sure I can live with only 185 hp in that beast though

Ok, so I SHIT YOU NOT I won the auction for that 540i wagon today. I hit buy it now, contacted the seller, had a plane ticket picked out, and everything. Then the seller backed out. Said he sold it locally. (Even though technically he is ‘legally’ bound via eBay law I sell to me). I was CRUSHED! Now I'm wondering…

Great choice! One of my all time favorites.

No TurboX? Not that I'm biased or anything. :)

I had tons of cavalier and sunfire rentals and I'm pretty sure they all had miserable 3 speed autos. Also, I loved to have them in park and just mash the gas. They would rev to 3k and just bounce off it. Another fun thing to do is see how much of the interior you could disassemble with your bare hands while sitting in…

If that had the Sport Package I'd be tempted to get it for my 33 year old self!

You appear to have gone full Douge DeMuro...your tongue was hanging out the whole time. ...or you really enjoyed the taste of the mic.

The car sounds great! The rest? .....
