General Comments

I bought a used '98BMW 540i V8 in order to let someone else eat the first bit of depreciation. Wonderful car - my engineering friends at BMW in Munich call it the 'torquemeister' and I certainly know why. This car has a wonderful power to weight ratio - I only wish I could get it out on the highway more often. Mine has a 6 speed stick with M-5 seats for extra fit, a bit of a thorough bred for city driving, but you can't have it all. What I really need is a 10 year old Chevette for the city, but this is much more fun.
