Default BMW 540i

I was out in the Fezza yesterday and had a 'run' with a 540i........I have to say they are not slow. Mid-Range it was very impressive

Christ, thats one spoilt 6 series.


I remember dicing with a 540 on a motorway a good few years ago, could only really do him between 80 ish &115( 3rd gear on song to 4th) below that he had some grunt, above that aerodynamics dragged on the S2000 & I could only slowly reel him in to 120 ish & with the roof down only stick with him upto nearly 130, never below 60 ish on that stretch (There and back, he was a good sport )

540's are dead quick, lovely cars. A friend of mine has a estate running on gas, don't see there is any other way you can afford to run one! They certainly love a drop of juice!
