Basic information and history

The 1995 BMW 540i Touring is the perfect combination of performance and functionality, particularly attractive to enthusiasts of classic BMW models. The E34 generation Touring is particularly appreciated for its robust construction, refined driving characteristics and uncompromising detail quality. Only 499 examples of the 540i/6 Touring were ever produced, making this car one of the rarer modern classics.

This car is one of only 60 Touring examples with the color combination Oxford green (324) and 6-speed manual transmission, which makes it extra sought after by collectors. The car was originally delivered in Germany and later imported to Sweden. Total mileage is 285,000 kilometers. The number of previous users is seven, of which the current owner has owned the car on two occasions.

The current owner is an avid E34 enthusiast and has maintained and renovated the car for almost 100,000 SEK over the years. This amount does not include the Supersprint exhaust system, adjustable chassis or rims. There is documentation for what has been done, including service and maintenance, radiator, AC compressor, lambda sensors, flywheel and clutch, wiring harnesses for the tailgate, renovated diff and several small details such as plastic clips and moldings. A solid job to ensure the car appears in the absolute best condition!

Among other interesting details – in addition to the unusual specification and colour choice – the car has been tastefully upgraded with a Supersprint exhaust system, BC chassis, limited slip differential (LSD) with a 3.15 gear ratio (2.93 original) and M-Technic rear spoiler. According to the seller, the condition is exceptionally good both interior and exterior, which is unusual for the mileage and age. Oxford green metallic and well-kept black bison leather interior make the car one of the most attractive E34s on the market.

This car has been fitted with a Supersprint sports exhaust system, which enhances both the sound and driving feel without compromising the original feel. An M-Technic rear spoiler has been fitted for a sportier look. The roof is covered in black Alcantara and associated interior details such as sun visors, handles and the like have been changed to original black finishes for a uniform look. Shortly after the seller bought it in 2019, he upgraded to a 3.15 ratio LSD from a BMW E32 750i (original ratio was 2.93). The change gives the car a more responsive and engaging character, with slightly shorter gearing, while still keeping the revs at a comfortable level during highway cruising.

Condition

Body and paint: The paint is in very good condition. Only a few stone chips in the front are of note, but these are not major cosmetic defects. The car has previously been repainted and the work is, according to the seller, well done. The windows show normal wear for their age, the windshield was replaced in 2019. The right headlight at the front has a stone chip. Other moldings, emblems and decal details are in good working condition.

Interior: The interior is very well maintained and according to the seller the car's mileage is not visible. The ceiling is covered in black Alcantara with original details such as handles and sun visors in black. The steering wheel, controls and buttons are without any real complaints – see pictures. The seats in black Bison leather give an exclusive and period impression.

Tires and rims: The car is delivered with new tires. The rims are said to have some minor scratches but are considered good overall, see pictures for details.

Service history

The last service was carried out on 2025-09-25 when the oil and filter were changed in the engine. The previous service was also carried out in 2024. Unfortunately, the service book is missing, but there is documentation and receipts for work and maintenance - see attached pictures for details. The car's inspection history is documented. The last approved inspection was on 2024-12-13. The next inspection is due on 2026-11-30.

The differential was renovated in 2025 and the gearbox was serviced with new input bearings and oil seals in 2024. The windshield was replaced in 2019.

Summary

This is a unique opportunity for the enthusiast to acquire one of the rarest and most desirable BMW E34 540i Tourings on the market. The combination of Oxford Green metallic and the low-production 6-speed manual gearbox makes this a collector's car with investment potential. The condition is better than the mileage indicates and the car has been tastefully maintained and upgraded over the years. Special features such as the Supersprint exhaust system, M-Technic rear spoiler and black Alcantara headliner enhance the overall impression.

A BMW for the discerning enthusiast looking for a classic Touring with both performance and exclusivity, in a design that is very rarely offered on the Swedish market.
