Your 03 is rare, There was only 1300-1400 sent to the U.S. now think of how many decent examples are left.

I searched for months for the elusive 2003 540i M-Sport, but could never find a really clean one, so when I found my current car (*see sig below) it was just too clean to pass up in the hopes of eventually finding the 540i I was looking for.

Although, I don't regret my decision...I do sometimes wish for that V8 power.

Best of luck with her...as Whorse said, she's a rare find.
