The v8's are very torquy and still pretty fun to drive... but the 4.0 block is not a good choice because of the problems associated with the material the block is composed of. This problem affects both the 3.0 block and the 4.0 block from
'93-'95
You will notice that a lot of them have had new engines put in them... they all need it, but some of them have been replaced two and even three times...

If it comes down between the 540i and the m5, i would chose the m5...
