Boosted BMW 540i,ACS,Brembos,Custom crap, And possibly the DEAL of a life time! srsly

[gusisboosted]

So a lot of you know me and my car personally.

She is a supercharged 540i, with an ac schnitzer make over. and a buncha other goodies.

Well here is the deal.

I was driving home then all of the sudden shes not moving very much.
15 seconds later i get the dreaded transmission fail safe message.

Now I have come to the conclusion that I am in a point in my life where dumping money into a car is simply a no-no. School is getting more expensive and well so is life in general.

So instead of trying to fix her up, I think its time for her to be in the arms of a man (or woman) who can give her the tender love and care which she needs at the moment which i cannot offer her.

Now what is wrong with her?
To be honest I do not know.
I have done ALOT of research on the matter and i found that this problem can be caused by a million things.... But honestly what ever the REAL problem is at the moment i cannot fix.

So to break things down, You are getting yourself into one of a couple of situations.
Either the car has one of those million electrical problems I have read about online..... OR
the worst case scenario the transmission decided to die.

And if the transmission did die... well hey..... it was time for a three pedal swap any way :)

So if any one is interested in her please let me know, i much rather hand her off to an enthusiast instead of just some random guy on craiglist.....

so time for some eye/ear candy.

Ok that does it for pictures and videos

The car possesses a 4.4L (PRE-VANOS FTW) Super charged V8
and a five-speed A5S 560Z automatictransmission.
both of which where rebuilt at about 28k miles ago.
Car wasnt boosted until about 20k miles ago, VF engineering kit was used.
This consists of the supercharged larger injectors, and the tune. They have been tweaking and messing with this kit for years, believe me when i tell you the tune and everything else is perfect. Feels like a stockcar.

at 7psi they claim it makes 410 hp at crank. According to the VF engineering dyno sheets the car makes right around 365 RWHP.
a 9 psi pulley can be purchased as well not sure what power they claim at this boost level, but at 7psi you really dont need much more unless you plan on racing, but since the car was only used for normal driving it was never done.

Exterior:
*Ac schnitzer everything: rear bumper, sideskirts, side mirrors, spoiler, roof spoiler.
*Ac Schnitzer typeII 19 inch rims
*Front M5 Bumper with custom brake cooling inlets built in (the only car iv'e ever seen with these)

Brakes: Brembo BBK (e39 kit)

I.C.E: Alpine headunit, ipod ready built in into glove box, equalizer.
Custom wood/fiberglass built soundsystem in trunk. ALL CUSTOM.

And the list goes on and on, i am sure i am forgetting things.

Thanks for looking, and please feel free to bump if you view

sux bro sorry to read that hopefully its not to bad good luck

[gusisboosted]

To the top. Cuz people on zilvia need to jump on this deal.

[ST(I)mpreza]

To the top. Cuz people on Zilvia are stingy with free BUMPs!

[gusisboosted]

Thanks for the bump my man.

So yeah shes still here and i still cant bring myself to spend my college/life money on fixing her.....

some one pick her up and get your self a damn good deal.

Remember i do need a new car asap.
So trades and trades plus cash or stuff... will be considered all to well.

Need a new ride ASAP.

[gusisboosted]

to the top... cuz i still havent found a DD

[gusisboosted]

ttt.....

need some money for school and a DD yesterday a week ago.

so make offers..

to the offers iv'e recieved thanks and i am considering them.. but some of them just really arent something i can daily drive.... atleast till i can fix up the old daily driver again...

And a lil update on the situation..
alot of people have been scolding me about checking the alternator.. apparently that can be the cause of all of this.

So as soon as i can get some time ill get that checked out.. who knows maybe the trans didnt die after all...

any way as it stands im still trying to get rid of her as-is...

everything is still perfect, get in touch for more details and questions.

thanks

I think the problem is perfect m5's sell for 16,000... My friend got his 02 with 50,000 miles, black, navi, all options, and a few mods (springs, exhaust) all for 17,000. So honestly, as much money as you did put into it, and as great of a car it is, this car has been for sale for a while, and you cant expect that much out of it.

[gusisboosted]

oh i know man im not trying to get M5 money for this at all..

But just... to put things into perspective...
Try replicating this car with 16k..... IMPOSSIBLE.
Its not an m5 but the stuff thats in it.. is not crap.

Wheels alone are worth about 6k (and thats on the cheap side)
Good luck finding 19 inch ac schnitzer type 2s ANY WHERE.... for less than 2k a piece...

what i am trying to say is that yes while this car is not an m5... and yes it currently does have some problems.

There is no denying that the parts that have been invested into this car are all top notch... honestly some one is gonna walk away with a hell of a deal.

fix it or part it out up to you, i dont care... i just need a new daily and some cash hopefully.

College has decided to screw me over some more, and well priorities are priorities....
Sorry my beautiful " Negra " i can't fix you.
I know she understands though.. :'(

thanks,
gus

[gusisboosted]

QFT

You can buy acs wheels for about 3k for all four. The car has many amazing mods and they are not cheap. But it needs work as well and 17k plus another 2-3k to fix is not really realistic.. with that said good luck. hope it finds a good owner.

[gusisboosted]

no man that was a price from an old add when the car was in optimum conditions.

read the add it clearly says to subtract any costs you think you might have when making offers...

i dont expect 17k we been over this already haha.


So yeah thanks for the kind words guys.

and the bumps :)

lock me down already.

[gusisboosted]

bump,
people keep on offering REALLY awesome cars, but they arent the most
"streetable" things out there.

so im holding on for a bit.

any offers make em, very motivated at this point.

[gusisboosted]

New years eve, everyone have an amazing night.

[Pray And Spray]

Sorry to here, glws looks beautiful

[gusisboosted]

soo FINALLY had a bit of time to take a look at her...
lifted her... and guess what... forward gears seems to be engaging...
So the transmission isnt totally fried... also the transmission fail safe message is gone.

I am starting to think its just something very small, sadly havent had money or time to get the transmission a full run down. Regardless this is good news, and makes for a not TOO expensive project.

also i think i might be able to source some parts at a good price... MIGHT.

any interest please let me know.
I need money or a new car asap.
Shes just sitting there.

[gusisboosted]

ttt

lock err rdown

[gusisboosted]

Got the old daily back... so decided she will be sitting in the garage, waiting for prince charming to wake her up.

I do not plan on fixing her for quite some time (atleast a semester), so this is your chance to get her cheap or trade her for something you got.

Now that i got the daily back, in not in too much of a hurry any more...
but nevertheless i'd love to do something with her instead of just having her sit in the garage.

All pms and emails replied by the way...
oh another thing, if you email me include that your from zilvia, ill be nicer ;)
