The doors and trunk are great, drove mostly highway first years of owning to trips and bmw events, then my dad drove it for about 2 years to work and back in valencia, driving it very slow, its really nice to drive it at cruising speeds, and whenever you want some power it always there and very responsive. after that i drove it to work for a bit when i sold my acs e39 528 that i was driving daily, then i bought a non bmw car and the 540 was parked for a long time only being driven on weekends in short distance near my home to Angeles Crest Hwy and back to keep it from sitting and to relax and enjoy driving this machine. Its a very fun car to drive, has an aggressive sound compared to the stock e39s that are very quiet. Thanks for looking
