In the realm of BMW lore, the 1995 m540i stands as a rare gem, a sports sedan with V8 power and a manual gearbox - a true enthusiast's dream. Only 32 of these beasts were ever unleashed, each packed with features borrowed from the legendary M5. This particular m540i is now up for grabs in a thrilling auction on Cars and Bids, offering a chance to own a piece of automotive history.
What sets the Canadian m540i apart is its Euro M5-inspired upgrades, including superior brakes and suspension that amp up the driving experience. From the outside, it's clear this isn't your average 5 series - with M parallel wheels, chrome exhaust tips, and a more aggressive design language, the m540i exudes a sense of exclusivity. Inside, the carbon fiber trim, unique plaque indicating its production number, and illuminated gear lever add to the allure of this special machine.
Under the hood, the m540i roars to life with a potent V8 engine churning out 282 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, surpassing even the mighty M5 in the latter department. The interior is a cockpit of driver-focused controls, with a center stack housing various functions including an information panel and climate controls. Quirky features like a temperature adjustment wheel that can override settings add character to this already charismatic ride. With only 32 in existence, the m540i is a rare breed that commands attention and admiration from all corners of the automotive world.
