I like mine too, had to go through the cooling system as mentioned. Don't believe the lifetime tranny deal, it does need fluid change just like any other.
Mine is dark blue with tan interior, looks great. Sorry no pics with me.
Can we see what you found, sounds nice, low miles.

Since I've had mine, within 30 days I've had show up and fixed:
1)- seat twist- happened on my watch.
2)-Broken sunroof (PO)-
3) cracked reservoir- kept drinking water. Replaced radiator, reservoir, fan and clutch-
4)- burned the Brake transfer lines along the strut tower. (weak spot of 540I).
5)- loose window regulator in the driver's door.
Car is now PERFECT. Just did the cooling system 2 days ago and did 1200 mile trip including 1.5 hours idling in 110F and it's great.
Didn't cost BOO to fix any of this, they are easy to work on.
540I problem- watch this on higher miles V8 cars inc. M5- RUBBER brake lines between body (ABS controller) and rest of chassis lay right next to exhaust manifold. Starts to leak from failure...
