I purchased my 2003 540iA (with the full M-sport pkg) in Feb/09 in Vancouver BC and drove it back to Manitoba. After going thru 'Rogers Pass' in the Rockies I was tempted to go back and do it again. Everytime I get in the car I can't wipe the grin off my face, other 540i owners know what I mean. The car is a monster, it will go, turn, stop on your every whim. I look for excuses to go drive it. It is incredibly hard to hold back the horses under the hood and when you do let them loose the sound of a V-8 is a 'back of your neck hair raising experience'. If you have the chance get one and start living! I have the sport seats and as such they have higher bolster pads and they can make entry and exit a little more deliberate. However once in the seat its like your in the arms of a 37 year old cougar! Other than that there are no bad points!
