    I’ve had both. I miss my 540s. I love my 528i that I have now.

    This road test was what got me into BMW 5 Series cars (especially the 540i) at the time.

    The burnout segment and the pile of smoking tire rubber scene made me really like this 5 Series (pre M5).

    Pretty sure the 540 uses recirculating ball steering, not rack and pinion.

      Correct

      Yes, but non-V8 like 528i have rack and pinion.

    That has got to be one tired 427 Corvette. The only way it's going to do a 14-second 1/4 mile, is if the driver's asleep.

      Yeah. It's biased ply tyres would go up in smoke one would think.
