The 540iA is the luxury version of BMW's 5-Series and adds a monster V-8 engine.
The sport version then turns the 540iA into something even more insane. Luckily the 540 M-Sport looks like any other tame BMW, stealthily cloaking its brutality.
This site specifically is about the 540iA Sport. It's not about the ordinary non-sport 540i or six-cylinder, Diesel, station wagon or M5 models. I cover those here.
The price difference between the 540iA M-Sport and an ordinary 5-Series is the price of a small car. One could buy two nice 3-Series for the price of a 540iA M-Sport!
The non-sport 540 is perfectly swell car, just like a Mercedes E430 or E500. The non-sport 540 is nowhere near as much fun, zippy and crazy as the sport model as I explain below. The non-sport 540 is more suited to commuting and racking up miles on cross-country trips; the Sport for the drag strip, autocrossing, chirping the tires and having a hoot while focusing 100% of your concentration on driving. They're all quiet and comfortable; the gearing, suspension and everything makes the Sport far more responsive.
