I wish I had a better view of the rear to see what it was.. Mid late 90's 4 door sedan, NOT a 3 series. Had a spoiler, and couldnt tell if it was factory.

 

It wasnt an M5.. standard 5 series type of car.

 

540i's are a 6 speed and I think they run like 14.4

 

Either way, some yuppy bastard is trying to figure out why his bimmer lost to a regal even with him getting the jump

 

Darn... the site that always had the stats for many, many cars can't be found.

Edmunds.com says a:
1994 540i has 282hp, 295ft-lbs, and weighs 3803lbs
