what motor is in a 540? I would say 4.0l - but that no longer works - in the use 525 and 530 both have 3.0l

It's a 4.0 l V8.

306 hp at 6.300 rpm and 380 Nm at 3.500 rpm.

0-100 km/h 6.2 sec (auto 6.3 s), top speed 250 km/h.


The 525i has a 2.5 l engine in Europe, 218 hp.

Nice to see cars over 3,000 cc in Taiwan. Not many are.

I tell my friends in Taiwan that my car is 4.4 L and they just shake their heads with envy. Imagine what their reactions would be if I had a Hemi SRT8 with 6.1 L, or Corvette LS6.

How come we don't get 540i? In my opinion it is a good step between 530i and 550i.
