Re: 540i vs 525i

Consider the gas mileage as well. With the 540 you'll be lucky to break 20 MPG on the highway, but the 525 will get 20+ around town and over 30 on the highway. My car has some performance upgrades and I've seen 37 MPG.

The V8 cars have recirculating ball steering because there's not enough room for a rack to fit in there with the big motor. The I6 cars handle better because of better weight distribution, too.
