I've owned many cars in my 43 years of existance, and the BMW 540I is the most fun to drive, and the handling characteristics are like a train on tracks......sticks to the road.

Got this puppy last month before they change the design. I am not a fan of the new BMW design trend. Love the old design. Anyways, test drove a E class and a C class as well. C class is no comparison. E class possible. But this is the best choice considering the price and what you get for it.

This is the only 4 door sedan to own. Look no further as I have test driven the competition. Save your $$ and opt for the 2.5 engine as it is as quick as you ever need to drive after 40 miles per hour (not a jack rabbit start, but who needs one). Luxury abounds with interior appointments. Handling is a dream. With the sport package, this is the best looking car on the road in it's class.

I have the "older" design and its been flawless for over 50,000 miles. I hate the looks of the new BMW's so won't be getting another one.

Sport Seats are a little hard. Having difficulty getting it just right. What's up with those useless cup holders?
