The styling of Jimmy Wu’s 1998 540i is subtle, very similar to a car we featured in our March 2002 issue–oh, wait, it’s the same one. What choice had we but to test the two cars against each other? By the time you’re halfway into fourth gear and a few car lengths back, you realize your fate and slow down.ĭo you think this could ever happen? After a short hunt, we found a pair of 5 Series BMWs on the West Coast that made it clear this scenario could take place. The light turns green and, in an instant, what you thought would be two, sub-300-bhp cars innocently chirping their H-rated tires instead turn your world upside-down with the roar of tarmac-shredding, boosted rockets that instantly leave you behind, embarrassed. The cross street’s signal turns yellow, and you start to bring up the revs. You peep over to your right, and it’s quite evident this car is no M5, either. The one on the left is sporting an M5 front bumper cover and lip spoiler, but by the profile it’s obvious this is just a basic 5 Series with some nice wheels. As you approach a red traffic signal, you notice two black 5 Series BMWs in your rearview mirror, and they proceed to line up on either side of you. You’re driving along in your new BMW M5: 400 horsepower on tap, and you feel unstoppable.
