#31 of 12657 RE: # 22/Gas Mileage by dbush2 Aug 15, 2000 (8:11 pm)
I have an 80 mile round trip commute, 80% highway, some stop and go, based on how the traffic is, and I average 20-22 mpg. It's hard to drive slow, as to keep up with traffic in Chicago means 75 mph. '97 540i 6-speed.

It is my understanding that the steptronic was not available in the 528i until MY2000. 1999 would have been the earliest, but I do not believe it was in that MY.
#33 of 12657 BMW 540i purchase by erik_schindler Aug 15, 2000 (11:33 pm)
I am looking at the purchase of a '97 540i with basically all of the options. My question is the car has 57000 miles, is in excellent condition, and from test drives appears to be sound. What risks are known about the mechanical systems of this car, its general durability, and overall performance in the higher milage part of its life? Looking for advice here. Appreciate any input.

You might want to look at www.bimmer.org. They have an extensive posting, FAQ's, archives, etc. by make and model.

mpk214, You may also try contacting BMW 800 number. They may help if you have the vin number. Just an idea. The local BMW dealer in the area where you are considering purchasing it form may also have some records from the vehicle if they serviced it in the past. Food for thought.
#38 of 12657 BMW Door Locks by hsvdillon Aug 18, 2000 (9:51 pm)
I recently acquired a 94 525i in very good condition. Today the automatic door locks started to act up. When you first lock the door (from the inside or outside) all the locks enable for about a second or two then they unlock. When locked a second time, they remain locked. Any ideas here?? This has never happened before today. Thanks for the inputs!
#39 of 12657 2001 5 series official pics by starbmw Aug 22, 2000 (5:08 am)
It is finally official. The new look 5 series at BMW.com (not BMWUSA.com). I think the car looks great although I would have preferred the cut out treatment that the headlights get on the 3 and 7 series. Does anyone know why they chose not to update to that look like they did when they updated the 7 series?
