I've always wanted a manual BMW, and I think the E38 and E39 are timeless designs. I think everyone watched the BMW Hire film with Clive Owen thrashing Madonna around in that M5 with some kind of smile. I read the Jalopnik article on the 540i earlier this week, and began my journey down the rabbit hole. A local enthusiast run dealer had a babied 2003 540i M-Sport for sale, 165k miles but a stack of receipts paid for by a 75 year old man who owned the car from 30k to 165k miles. I visited the place 3 times, and finally pulled the trigger this morning. Im one happy new owner! Def feels different from my 335is, but she is a keeper and I plan to take care of her!
