…forced me to pick up a 540i last week…fortunately I didn’t have to settle for the slushbox transmission like the other board member who recently bought a RWD V8. ![http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c176/beat90tsi/540i/540i.jpg](http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c176/beat90tsi/540i/540i.jpg) ![http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c176/beat90tsi/540i/enginebay.jpg](http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c176/beat90tsi/540i/enginebay.jpg) Headlights needed some love, but they turned out much better after I worked them over a few times. ![http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c176/beat90tsi/540i/headlightstg2.jpg](http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c176/beat90tsi/540i/headlightstg2.jpg) ---

Looks clean, hope it’s trouble free for you! Have you looked into the Nikasil bore lining issue? I think the 540i’s are sweet especially with the 6 Spd. but I got a little turned off when I read about all the premature wear problems they had with the earlier models’ cylinder walls. ---

No, I hadn’t heard about that, but I’m buying an extended warranty FTW, since the major repairs are not cheap at all. If the motor goes I’ll take it to Jeff, then maybe he can accidentally order an M5 motor on the warranty company, haha. ---

> [@beat90tsi"](#): > > Thanks man, however I disagree on the luck part.😃 I thought they were harder to find for some reason, especially in the 5 series. My model 7 series had an optional 5 speed, I want to swap it, but those Getrag trannies even with a shitload of miles on them aren’t cheap. ---
