The car is currently one of the best values for fans of the ultimate driving machine. N/A V8 motor, manual tranny, amazing sound and handling from the era where BMW was still king and not today where they are the vague steering feedback “ho hum driving machine”.

Also 540i has much better reliability and almost same performance as the coveted e39m5. If you ever heard a e39 540i with an exhaust on it you wouldn’t even question the purchase.



In my area I see 540i manuals for for $6-8k but they are 140k mile plus and beat up. A pristine one like described it’s hard to value, I would guess $12-15k?
