[Bill Clancy]

really?    I thought the 540i was the greatest car on the planet (there is
an inside joke there...someday I'll tell it).
But I thought a mid-sized BMW with a V8 and a 6 speed would be awesome.   I
have never driven one.   R&T likes it but they had a hard time with the 1-2
shift.   One of my mechanic friends hates the 540 so I just block my ears.
Is it not the ultimate car?    Anyone else care to comment?

The AC doesn't keep up?   who F---ed that up?   whoever it is should be
fired with no stock options.    That's almost a show stopper.

and what do you mean you didn't like the "penile extension feeling?"  Too
powerful?  Too much of a pain in the ass to drive?    Hey, some of us are
not happy with our 9 inchers.   I need a 540!

I'd love an s4 v8.    in fact I started shopping, but thought maybe the
money was better spent on real estate - then some day I can by 10 s4's.
