I currently drive a 98 540 6 speed with exhaust, and I must admit it moves pretty good.It takes Lexus's GS 400 by 2 cars easy. It was the fastest sedan before the 2000 M5 came out. I here alot of people talk about how great and fast the M5 is and then I hear people say that YES the car is fast but not crazy fast. Please if someone would or could compare the 540 with an M5. I ordered a 2001 Lemans Blue, and it should be available in mid November.Dont forget now I also had a 90 Mustang with a 125 shot of nitrous so I know what FAST is. Thanks
