I like my '98 540i, it's a GREAT DD. The only thing i could ask for would be an LSD, but the E34 540i lacks this as well. I regularly see ~20mpg around town, and i've gotten 30 on the highway if i baby it. Normally it sees abotu 25-27hwy. Endless power, and comfy seats (comfort ones at least). DSP stereo is nice if you upgrade the speakers.
