My Dad back in 1998 payed $82,000 after tax for his BMW 540i 6-speed fully loaded.

The fuel consumption of a 540i 6 speed is not really bad by US standards. There are 4 clyinder, front wheel drive family sedans sold here which struggle to stay in the high 20 mpg range on the highway. A 540i can do this all day, cruising at our pathetic, sub-100mph speed limits. :-) BMW engines and transmissions are expensive, but that's because they are efficient and sophisticated for what they are.

if you look very closely you can watch the fuel gauge move down

Europe . Not Sure about the USA ?

I have a E39 530 and that does 155 mph on limiter . To be fair there isn't much more to get from the 3.0 litre motor . But these 4.4 540 E39 de restricted surely will hit about 165 mph no problem . Stock . Like the M5 those will keep climbing to about 180 mph . It's the aero dynamics that slow these cars down after the 150 mph mark . I can't imagine bmw designed them with those speeds in mind because there all restricted to 155 mph . I think it's a law set in place somewhere in the uk and Europ

What's the noise and 240 on that car is equivalent to how many MPH? does it drank alot of gas? They aren't that bad on Craigslist as far as price

@swagman9555 year? the 95 electronically tops out at 129, that's what mine is, i put in an intake and X3 Performance chip in my 95 540i manual and i think i was able to push about 135 with some wind behind me, damned govern chip, i believe the e39 model topped out around 150
