Now needs a bit of mechanical work.. the 180000 mile major service has triggered the service light and sometimes causes rough idle.. as well as the sun roof and passenger power window need repair the rest is good.. ..interior is very good for this year.. no cracks or tears on any seat leather is very good.. carpet , interior all very good .. a few small scrapes and dents around the car.. nothing serious.. This is a very powerful and fast car ..pull onto a freeway and just pick your merge point and drive to it .. cruises very quietly 6 speed manual makes it fun to drive.. this version of the 540 is the sport version.. basically a poor mans M5 ... . As I have driven this car I have added niceties like a UUG short shifter to make gear changes quicker and simpler , Zimmerman rotors and ceramic disc brakes mean you stop fast and your wheels stay clean .. front and rear control arm bushings keep it running straight .. replaced the air conditioner compressor to keep me cool , all oil changes have been synthetic,, tires always matched in sets to make life easy for the drive train .. all in all a well loved car ..Now I am considering a small pick up or SUV or a more economical ( gutless wonder) car..
