In Reply to: Buying 97 540i 6spd, any problems to look for?? posted by Brad Foster on August 19, 2001 at 18:38:25:

The weather-stripping on the B-pillar inside the driver's door jamb is often "worn" due to clothing rubbing while entering/exiting.

Missing tools!

Definitely get a feel for the clutch on 2 or more different vehicles. Clutches aren't cheap, and 282 horse is enough to burn one out in the wrong hands (feet). Consider an automatic... nearly as fast, silky smooth, and less likely to have been owned by a hot-rodder. I bought one.
