Ultimate Driving Machine

I have owned many cars in my life and this, dare I say tops the list. From handling to acceleration to comfort. Shifts click in to place and driving is an overall relaxing experience. I kept up with the preventative maintenance and simple repairs and my 540i treated me very well. This car is worth it and leaves you looking back after any trip to the grocery store. It is a fantastic piece of naturally aspirated V8 German engineering.

Great handling big engined touring car

Roomy car, but not too big. Safe as a tank. Mine has the sport package, which makes it a little quicker, and better handling, but you do pay a price with gas mileage 25-26 mpg, is the best I ever got on the freeway.

Stellar performance and luxury sedan

Outstanding driver's vehicle that comes as close to having it all as you can get - power, great looks, pinpoint handling, comfort and luxury. It has its issues but on the whole, reasonable to own and maintain. Great driving excitement.
