Bought the car from CarMax. It had obviously not had any kind of presale inspection cause when I brought it home, oil leaked about 40 yards across my street from my engine!! Within the first year of buying the car, most of the engine needed replacing, the transmission had to be replaced and much of the suspension. And, at the time, it only had 70K miles on it!, once repaired, the care was awesome to drive and the performance was great. At 130,000 I had to replace the engine. At 147K miles, the car was in an accident and declared a total loss. Because of the cars age, the value is only $4,200.

Every time I drive it I smile. The perfect balance between ride comfort and handling/performance. Handles like my corvette but the ride is much more forgiving. This is close to being the perfect car.

When this thing gets out in the road you can't even hear the engine but that power is directly under your foot. When you unleash this car on the highway you feel a sense of love. You would understand if you've even driven one. With the sport package on this car you get a great amount of features especially that suspension it makes you feel like your driving on a pillow. I love the way you can just drive without feeling uncomfortable. You can go on long trips without even feeling like you just have to get out the car and walk. The way the seats hug you when you drive is a thing of delight. It has the real BMW power in all ways. It's just great fun to drive. This car is the ultimate driving machine.
Best car I've ever owned

This car is one of the best bimmer ever made. Reliable and performance are the words describing this baby. For best drive you will need to maintain the car...and when I say maintaining I mean it. So far I spend about 1000$ a year (it's my 3rd year for breaks, oil and air filter...tune up). But I still enjoy and love this beast!!!!

I had owned other sport cars as well as luxury cars. I enjoyed them all, but this is my first BMW 540 I with Sports package... Wow, I can't begin to tell you how much fun I have driving it. I don't think I would be going back to any other manufacturer from here on.
