This Year's Model Updates:

Side-impact airbags are now available for rear-seat passengers, as is break-resistant glass for the windows and moonroof.

Pros:
  • Sport sedan in a luxury car package. This is a perfect way to spend that new raise.
Cons:
  • Cheap plastic buttons for the power door lock switches are out of place in a car of this caliber.

  • Still my favorite - 1998 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    Over 4 years now, and I still love to get in this car. Its my second 540ia, the last being a 1995 540ia also. We live on the west coast, travel the mountain highways across the rockies, so that we get to use the V8 on the winding twisting passes. In summary, the car is understated, fits nicely in both the country and the city, whereas I think the Mercedes E-quivalent is overstated and somewhat pretentious for what it does for similar money ...

    The best car I every driven. The Lexus GS300, Acura RL, Benz E300, absolutely no comparison!
