2002 BMW 5 Series Wagon 540i 4dr Sport Wagon (4.4L 8cyl 5A)
happy camper
 we finally put to rest our 1982 MB 
deisel wagon,a slowpoke,but good 
driver,and solidly built..Looked at 
Volvos,Saabs,and BMW's. All in high 
30's or more.. Took a test drive in a 5 
series wagon,checked out storage space 
and found no strut towers blocking rear 
space,as in others. The basic 6 is best 
engine I have ever driven Imagine what 
a 530 with 225 HP would be like.. The 
car feels solid and safe. My wife 
drives it to Houston evry month ( 400 
mi. RT),and just loves it.
Faults: too much plastic in the 
interior,and the power seat controls 
can get broken easily as they are 
housed in cheap plastic..have had to 
fix these twice.
