2001 BMW 5 Series Sedan 540i 4dr Sedan (4.4L 8cyl 6M)
BMW 540 with sport options close to M5
 I commute a lot and needed an auto transmission, therefore no M5.  This was as close as I could get and no disappointment.  ALWAYS get the 540 with the sport option, otherwise stay with the V6.  Fine, fine car, best of sport tuning and luxury.
