General Comments

The BMW 540i V8 executive car is a monster. There is nothing on the road that I fear while in the driver seat of this stunning 2000 540i 6 Speed Speedster. "Look, Corvette ahead, phew.... on his tail... phew.... he is on my rear view mirror...." And all 4 of my buddies get to witness the Vette Slayer's nimble handling and agility.

    The 540 is a great car, but let's not get carried away. A late model vette can dust a 540 any day. If you want to compete with a vette you need to spend the money for the M5.

    Right you are rob...all I can say is 282hp in a sedan DOES NOT EQUAL 400+hp in a roadster
