**e32bmw** · 10-06-2008, 03:53 PM

if it was 540i would u still go pre vanos?which is 99ish and older?)

528i 97-99? or later?

I kinda need to go auto and notice alot of 2000 years came with steptronic..maybe good idea for me..

**amancuso** · 10-06-2008, 03:56 PM

The only thing I would go for is a different exterior color and heated seats, otherwise I luv my 540i.

**VLee** · 10-06-2008, 03:56 PM

I want a z3...or a s30z

**Al's540i** · 10-06-2008, 03:59 PM

I love my 540i....i just hate the sport seats......I WANTS CONFY SEATS!!!!

**Michael Star** · 10-06-2008, 04:00 PM

m5

**SHWELL** · 10-06-2008, 04:02 PM

Knowing what I know now, I would have waited a month or 2 more and got an M5 instead.... Or a 6 spd Touring of any designation.

**e39dream** · 10-06-2008, 04:10 PM

1998 528i sport. One of the originals and best e39s.

**PScalfano** · 10-06-2008, 05:05 PM

I wish I had fold down seats.

**porksoda** · 10-06-2008, 05:08 PM

I would get

first choice - 03 M5 manual
second choice - 03 530i manual w m sport package

we should trade. I like the sports, but they were optional in my '97.

**ezbmr** · 10-06-2008, 05:20 PM

If I could do it all over again...2001 or Newer 530 with Supercharger

**MNsport528i** · 10-06-2008, 05:20 PM

2003 black/tan 540iT
Optioned out: Msport/premium/navigation/bluetooth/coldweather/pdc/sunshades
I wasn't really looking at E39's with two kids in mind the first time around...!
Maybe imola red/tan would be cool too...

**rwd540iguy** · 10-06-2008, 05:20 PM

I probably would select a different color like black.

**Vipsa** · 10-06-2008, 05:24 PM

I would've gone for a 2001+ 530 sport with Navi, sport seats, fold down rears, with lower miles. Mine was found and bought in a few hours without any research but I needed a car and overpaid a little.

**easyover** · 10-06-2008, 06:14 PM

I got the color, wheels, and premium package with relatively low miles that I wanted with mine.

What I would have liked was a 530i w/manual, sport and premium with the color that I got.

**e32bmw** · 10-06-2008, 06:28 PM

interesting read thanks for the fast replies. alot of guys like their 530s here eh..

**FP5241** · 10-06-2008, 06:41 PM

I would get the exact same car... 2000 528i sport.
Last of it's kind,
Last of the true BMW 528's.

**Cyrix2k** · 10-06-2008, 06:46 PM

To answer the original question - if I did it again, I'd get an M5.

**MLRJR** · 10-06-2008, 06:47 PM

Blue
530i - 5 speed manual
540 - 6 speed manual

**e32bmw** · 10-06-2008, 07:01 PM
