2000 540i sport
 After five years of driving, the 540 with the sport package is the most fun car I have ever driven.  The six speed manual is a necessity.  That said, this is also the most delicate car I have ever driven. Lots of issues with sensors, water pump and radiator replacement etc.  The radio is also less than stellar.  Not even worth calling a stereo. I spend on average $1500-2000/year on maintenance and repairs.  Part of this cost is getting the wheels repaired after hitting speed bumps too fast (sport package comes w/low profile tires and alloy wheels). I don't know if this is typical, but I'd suggest budgeting for higher than average repair costs.  All that said, i'm still addicted to the drive.
