Hey everyone, this past weekend I picked up a '98 540i6, metallic gray on black. After hours of research on the two larger BMW forums, I finally found the perfect car that suits [almost] all of my needs, a 540i. Luxury, sport, manual, power, RWD, and mod-ability.
After coming from a 5spd SC300 I must say this car is AMAZING, although I can really feel the extra weight. But that and gas mileage are the only cons; first day I bought it I went through $22 worth of gas. Of course it was worth every penny.
On to the specs and pics:
$6,500 -- 124,000 miles with most of the common problems taken care of.
Things it will need: valve cover gaskets, rear upper control arm, drive belts, and rear door won't automatically lock/unlock. Which would you recommend for DIY and which for taking to a mechanic?
