Now that is a proper chariot. Luckily I have too much scrap or I would be trying to convince the seller why he must take my bag :)

I just can't, i think if i'm really honest id rather go M-power off the bat. My 328 is a better all rounder i think this.

If I were to have a 540 touring it would have to be an auto, cog swapping is no fun in such a barge.

i'm starting to think the same thing with the 540's but then people have said its like an 8 pot iS and needs revving to get them to go, the quite high peak torque figure is up the rev range.

I don't know i've never driven one

to be honest my e28 m535 is much more fun to drive,maybe because e34 is too soft and too refined? :mad:
