im looking into 540 6 speed manual v8. 2000, im a week away from gettin it. is this the best model to get, for m power without getting an M5, and how does it compare with the 1998 sedan M3 witch was my other choice. i wouldve gotten that one if i didnt have kids. (2 and 1 coming)

Sounds lovely

I'd mix 2 models and make a 516d badge :D
Sounds amazing, I'm saving up for an M5 but recently a friend of mine suggested i might want to have a look at the 540. Must say it's one hell of a car despite not being branded with the M badge. Certainly going to consider it.

I have a 1996 (1997 for the States) E39 540i and I recently swapped out the old exhaust system for a stainless steel straight through (with quad tails and M5 rear bumper). Youtube vids to follow shortly ;)

Very similar performance attributes between the two (at least in a straight line), but the 540i is much more supple and livable. An E39 will never feel as sharp or agile as an M3 - this is due to the lack of a traditional rack and pinion steering system. Also if I am correct, the 540i
lacks an LSD, so skidpan performance is marginal. It has a great tendency to roll and understeer, but fitting an aftermarket LSD should cure this. I think OS Gilken make a kit.
