Description

This is a rare opportunity to own a BMW E34 540i Individual, finished in the striking Avus Blue metallic. This bespoke example offers a perfect blend of luxury, performance, and craftsmanship, making it highly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts.

Under the bonnet lies the renowned 4. 0-litre V8, producing 282 bhp and paired with a smooth 5-speed automatic transmission. The engine delivers effortless power and refinement, ensuring a comfortable yet engaging driving experience, with that unmistakable V8 soundtrack. The car has also been fitted with BC coilovers, providing enhanced handling and a more responsive driving experience, allowing for greater customisation of ride height and suspension settings.

The exterior paint is in good condition, showcasing the timeless lines of the E34 body. Its quad headlights and signature kidney grilles give it a bold, commanding presence, while the factory alloy wheels add its understated desirability.

Inside, this Individual-spec 540i boasts a luxurious light grey leather interior, accented by black piping for an added touch of elegance. The wood trim complements the high-quality materials, creating a refined atmosphere throughout the cabin, making each drive a truly premium experience.

This car has been meticulously maintained and is presented in great condition, both inside and out. It comes with a full-service history, MOT valid until August 2025, and has covered only 110, 000 miles, making it a low-mileage example of this sought-after model. Recent maintenance and inspections have been carried out, ensuring it’s ready for the road.

If you’re seeking a well-maintained, rare example of the BMW E34 540i with the added exclusivity of Individual customisation and enhanced suspension, this Avus Blue model with its pristine interior is the perfect choice. I purchased this BMW E34 540i Individual because it perfectly combines performance, rarity, and bespoke craftsmanship, particularly with its Avus Blue metallic paintwork. This colour is not only striking but also highly sought-after among enthusiasts, adding an extra layer of desirability to an already exceptional car. What makes this example truly stand out is its Individual specification, featuring a light grey leather interior with elegant black piping and wood trim. The customisation offered by BMW’s Individual programme adds a unique touch of luxury that elevates it far beyond the standard models.

The 4. 0-litre V8 engine, producing 282 bhp, delivers both power and refinement, making for an exhilarating yet smooth driving experience. The addition of BC coilovers enhances handling significantly, allowing me to adjust the suspension and ride height to suit my preferences — whether I’m after a sportier drive or a more comfortable ride.

This car is also unique due to its low mileage (just 110, 000 miles) and meticulous maintenance. With a full-service history and an MOT valid until August 2025, it’s clear that the car has been carefully looked after, making it a rare find in such excellent condition.

My favourite aspect of this classic BMW is how it effortlessly balances luxury and performance. Every time I get behind the wheel, the combination of V8 power and the premium feel of the interior makes it a joy to drive, offering a timeless BMW experience that is hard to match in today’s cars.
