The seller offers for sale this BMW 540i Protection from 2001, a rare armoured version of the E39-generation 5 Series. The car is powered by a 4.4-liter V8 petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. According to the seller, the car was originally delivered new in Poland. The current seller is the third owner. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The paintwork presents well, although one door has been repainted and the front door windows are no longer the original ones due to a past attempted break-in. The interior remains well preserved and presents neatly.
It holds a valid technical inspection.
The BMW E39 generation of the 5 Series is widely regarded as one of the most successful executive sedans produced by BMW. Introduced in the mid-1990s, it combined balanced driving characteristics with high build quality and modern technology. The 540i variant, equipped with a powerful V8 engine, delivered strong performance while maintaining the comfort expected from a luxury sedan. Protection models were produced in limited numbers and featured factory-developed security enhancements intended for clients requiring additional protection. Today, these vehicles are considered rare examples within the E39 range and attract interest due to their unique specification and discreet executive appearance.
