BMW 540i 4.4 V8 Manual.

I'll need to save for about another 6 months but I should be able to pick up a decent enough one for about £4K, and being a big engined BMW it shouldn't depreciate all that much within a few years. Hopefully.

What do you think?

Good car, good engine.. Great all-rounder, although it probably won't be anywhere near as chuckable as a 156. Fast in a straight line and they aren't bad on fuel either on a run.

Personally, I like the previous model (E34 - the one with twin headlights) with the 4.0 V8 but its horses for courses really.
