hey,

E34 540i and first generation E39 540i both have the same 4.0L V8 with 282hp and 295lb-ft of torque right? I think it was into the second year of the E39 540i production that they swapped to the 4.4L V8. Anyways, if you ran a E34 540i vs. a first generation E39 540i (both with the 4.0L V8), both with 5-speed automatic, which one would come out ahead? I heard the E39 is heavier than the E34...I dunno about the gearing though...and whether or not the 5-speed automatic is the same between the two cars. Thanx a lot!
