2000 BMW 540 540i review
Best car I have owned
Overall the best car I have owned in terms of comfort, performance and driver feedback...I think the E39 is still one of the best cars ever made. I had a 2000 540i 6spd with the sport package, purchased with 69k miles and sold with almost 160k. Had the typical water pump failure and a radiator failure. Kept getting leaky Behr radiators that were factory defective. So be sure to replace the water pump, hoses, and radiator if it has not already been done. Older 540i's came with a water pump that had a plastic impeller, replacements have a metal impeller. Front lower control arms are also prone to wear and were close to $300 each. I was able to do all the work myself the E39 540i isn't particularly hard to work on. I feel the horsepower numbers are conservative, I was surprised how fast these beasts (are faster than my 350z). There are a lot of good E39 buyers guides and resources via google.

Performance Imports review
Performance imports (Highly recommend)
From the moment I walked in to the dealership it felt extremely welcoming the staff was very nice to say the least greeting me as soon as I came in the door. I met an extremely kind lady by the name of Kimmy whom treated me better than any other dealership was straight forward with me and honest yet respectful. She helped me attain my new bmw and i could not be more satisfied with the vehicle and have yet to have any issues with my vehicle even after 90 days of daily driving. i highly recommend if searching for a vehicle go down to performance imports they will be honest, fair priced, and straight forward.

Luxury on a dime
A well taken-care of BMW 540 with not much over 100K miles - a fantastic second car! Hope to put another 100 on it.

2000 BMW 540 540i review
Everything a BMW Should Be
Having a 300-horsepower V8 in a 3900 pound full size wagon seems a bit silly, but this car is absolutely the most joyful thing to drive. The E39 540iT wagon is the epitome of an all-purpose car; it's fast, with a 0-60 time of about 5.9 seconds in fair weather and driving dynamics that rival those of much lighter sports cars - It's comfortable, having a beautifully upholstered leather interior along with wonderfully contoured seats and a graceful and quiet ride - It's practical, as it can sit 5 members of a jazz band along with their instruments in the cargo hold (I speak from experience) - and it's even fairly reliable and easy to work on, with most maintenance being easier to complete than even the Japanese marques that I've worked on (Brakes, wheel bearings, suspension work, transmission work have all been easier than ANY other car I've done the work on). My 2000 BMW 540iT wagon is the successor to the many BMWs I've owned in my life, and even over two M5s, three 740iLs, two 525is, another 540i and a couple of Benzs, this is my absolute favorite car I've experienced. That is, as long as we don't use the sound system as a factor.
