Wife's got the BMW itch again.

Now that she is a banker again, we don't really have the need for the Disco's cargo space. Not to mention the kids require much less gear these days. We still enjoy offroading but the Rubicon is clearly the weapon of choice in that regard.

So, we are looking at '03 540i 6-speeds. I drove a friend's Dinan 540i a while back and other than it being a slushie, was pretty satisfied overall. I would imagine a stick would wake it up quite a bit.

Here we go again...

Still loving the damn thing and just about ready to order my lift. It continues to go anywhere I have the cajones to point it but I am sick of dragging the shovel. The OME lift and belly up should put me right where I want to be.

Oh, yeah. A 540i would be a great fit for us right now.
