Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted December 18, 2006 My car is at the agents having some servicing - new brakes, coolant, brake fluid, wof etc. Meanwhile, I'm driving one of their loan cars - 1999 E39 520i. Drives nicely, but - I want my power back!! I didn't realise how sluggish the 2 litre cars were. I can't imagine what you 540 guys would feel like driving a 520 - you'd want to get out and walk.
