**502 MotorSports** · 01-20-08, 05:03 PM

-Thanks Telion. That means alot coming from you, man.

-Nice Vids NYC.
-Black Type II, yes, the newer 2003 model came with the M-Tec as standard.

M5 Wagon Conversion FTW

Graeme - do tell!

**502 MotorSports** · 01-20-08, 05:10 PM

and you guys thought I was crazy when I said I wanted a 540i Touring

Quote:

All of the 2003 540's with sport package came with M5-front and rear bumper covers, sport diff, stiffer springs, and a few other goodies.

The production stat I saw was that there were just 69 of the 2003 model year 540iT's sold in the U.S.!!!! Not sure how many of those had the sport package, and of those, how many with Nav....probably just a very small handfull. I would not be surprised if ours was the one s62fan saw at the ulitmate drive. Was it Titanium Silver?

Like I said. Test drive both before you say that. It is like driving a Honda Accord and then driving a Legend with a turbo.

The 528i: 193HP/206 Lbs/FT
The 540i: 282HP/324 Lbs FT

That is a big difference, and one that you can feel. If power you don't care about, then no problem. But I know most folks around here always want more of it. I love the power, as Graeme mentioned, but I want more of it. S/C, here I come.

Black Type II · 01-20-08, 06:06 PM

so lemme ask this then would a 528 beat a Legend, both stock?

NYCOWNSU · 01-20-08, 06:14 PM

Stock for stock the only advantage the Bimmer would have is handling and torque. I think they have a 5 speed tranny to, I cant remember though.

plus RWD. i do want the 5spd tho. did the late 528 or 525 get the M packages?

i dont really wring out any of my cars (unless its a honda

) but for everyday driving and excitement i think the str8 6 would be a decent fit if im driving a Legend

My man has i took it out one sunday that was one of the best ride of my life.This guys that i work with has a S/C 540 unbelievable. what offset are u planning on running on the new wheels? Nice car

You mean sport package? Or do you mean the styling package? Yes on both.
But here is the thing. You need not wring out the power in the V8 - it just lays it down for you. In either case, you cannot go wrong. Just trying to save you the hassle of wanting to go the other route later. I test drove both before my purchase. I was won over by the power of the v8.

Better. I could sense your excitement, you did not stop to breathe there

507 HP, 383lbs Ft, V10 on the M5/M6. My guess is that they wrung it out for what they could with only the displacement they used.

An S/C'd V8 is going to be sickness, especially if done correctly.

As for me, if I do what I am thinking 19x9 +18mm F, 19x11 +25mm R. The new rear end is begging for something wider than 9.5 based on the M5 rear end. They are tucking....

Thanks for all of the love!

Black Type II · 01-20-08, 08:02 PM

well like i was saying if power is equal to or better than a Legend the ill stick with a 528. the Legend is babied as is or granny driven and the same would be for the 5 wagon. im a luxo cruiser type person, tho i would love to have the V8 rumble at the control of my foot but for a decent looker the 528 would be closer in budget bug have the same looks. as long as im getting the looks package of the M5 as does the 540it i really wouldnt care for anything else. 6speed wagons didnt come out for the e39 models right

**502 MotorSports** · 01-20-08, 08:10 PM

10/4 sir....

Good argument. No 6 speeds, but 5 speeds did with the 528iT
