I wish I could say the same for the guy who bought my 540i. I put a lot of money and work into that car, but along came this guy with an offer I couldn't refuse. Within a few months, he piles it into a back of a truck. He walks away without a scratch, but my former pride and joy was a complete writeoff. My 540i was the first V8 I had owned since the early 70's and I enjoyed the hell out of that car. But I also enjoyed the hell out of my techno-violet '97 M3 sedan which fortunately is still running strong with the owner to whom I sold it.
