The E39 is a special car recognized by BMW fans world-wide as one of the finest series they ever produced. Less than 200 of the custom V-8 M-Sport Wagons were imported to the US in 2003 and very Up until the release of the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo, the E39 BMW 540i Touring was the best station wagon ever released in America.

BMW 540i E39 - $13,792 . Let's be real here. The E39 M5 is out of reach for most of us out there. This sedan is powered by a 4.4-liter V8 that puts out a respectable 282 hp and 324 lb-ft

Stock TQ in the post 96- 540i is around 330 ft/lbs at 4000 rpms -- exactly where one wants it if 0-60 acceleration is a concern -- and yet the 540i has only a 282 HP engine. In short, it's a torque engine vs. our HP engine. Ok, the comparisons I'm going to make now have our M5 with chip and cam sprocket vs. a stock 96 and then 98+ 540i.
