1993 BMW 5 Series 540iA review from Sweden
"Great autobahnstormer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I bought it I've replaced the lambda sond and changed the intake membrane. I have also done preventive work so that future problems won't occur.
General comments?
Great autobahnstormer than can keep up with most modern supersedans. The 540iA can be costly if things go wrong, but find the right example and you've got one of the best all around enthusiast cars available. Superb V8 performance and excellent comfort perfectly combined.
