I absolutrly love the 7 but keep entertaining the thought of a manual 540i. I used to have a 95 e34 540i and loved it, but sadly, lost her in a horrible head-on collision about 7 months ago. I just love the look and feel of an E39 with M62 and 6 speed as I've driven quite a few now. Any opinions?

I think you will regret it if you ever sell the Imola...just remember all of us that have been lusting for one :)

101k miles. I actually just recently posted some pics of her. Sleepy posted them for me. I paid 18k for the car. I just recently flushed the cooling system, installed NA motorworks DDE's, blackout grills, and clears on the front. New rad hoses and new Synthetic M1 10w30 within last 2k miles. Would like to get $18,500 just becuase the car is better than it was when bought. I think this is a very fair price, especially seeing the rarity of an imola e38. A trade for a comparable silver/ charcoal gray or black 540i sport 6 speed would also be considered.

the 540'd are nice cars but in my opinion, nothing that BMW makes compares to the 7. They are just so much car! I would not do it in all honesty. It's a down grade in my opinion. You are driving the best car BMW had to offer besides the 750.

You want to sell that for a 5?!?!?!?
Hell no.
Having driven both and shopped for both...well look at where I ended up. My only want with my current car is for it to be Imola. 20K fewer miles wouldn't hurt either. (She's got 64K now.)
