    Really enjoy the car. The BMW 540i is turning out to be a great value for the money as long as you take good care of them.

    Studied the BMW 5 Series 540i V8 for about a month before purchasing a 2000 model auto, had it a few weeks now so only realising its potential. Best compromise is sports auto mode for optimum control. 5000 revs excellent V8 sound. This is a car you can drive for hours and hours, if you need to relax ...

    I own a 97 BMW 5 Series 540i Sport 6-Speed E39 V8.

    It is very fast. Off the line a lot of cars can stick with it, but on a freeway, few have a chance.

    Mine is Blue with a Tan interior. The 4.4L V8 has a lot of torque and can go from 20 - 120 in 4th gear.

    I would recommend this car to any ...

    I have had a number of recent style 5 series cars, and this is the most powerful, and a late 2003 at that. It has all the extras bar a sunroof, and is a delight to own and drive. It looks superb in gun metalic grey, and has black privacy glass, adding a bit of mystery to the car. This car is all ...

    I have owned my 1994 L plated BMW 5 Series 540i V8 Touring for about 2 months now and the only car in the world which I would swap it for would be a newer 540 or above. I have always dreamt of owning an M5 and my 540 is the first step toward my goal. These cars are luxury personified, even the wife ...

    I have owned a few cars and was looking around for something that was fast yet stable. It was a second car and so needed to be able to take the kids out etc so realy didn't want the restrections you get with sports cars that we tried, plus they didn't really excite me. I was actually looking at the ...

    The BMW 5 Series 540i V8 is an excellent sporty car for not a lot of money with all the toys you will ever need. Look after her and she will look after you. Brings back that feeling of the first ever car you owned, the one you passed your test for and could not wait to drive forever, then spend all ...

    I have had my BMW 5 Series 540i V8 Executive car for approximately 5 months now and I simply love it! I looked at Porsche, Mercedes, Acura, Lexus and Jaguar, but realized that they were all trying to be BMW (except for the Porsche, which is in a class all by itself). The 5 series sedan is the car ...

    I have a 2000 model BMW 5 Series 540i V8 executive car with the sport package and 6-speed manual transmission. It's the first car I've owned, and all around it is very classy and tasteful. However, it's definitely not the M5, and being a horsepower junkie, I've honestly already grown a bit bored w ...

    The BMW 540i V8 is a very impressive car !. I personally don't own one yet but had the opportunity to test drive one this week. I drove a 528 and a 540 auto and manual. All were 1998 - 2000 models. all I can say is WOW!. My daily driver is a 1999 Chevy silverado X-cab. My last sports cars over the p ...
