2002 BMW 540i Overview
Upscale and full of class, the new 2002 BMW 540i sets
the bar high for its competitors. A host of safety,
performance, and luxury features compliment its sturdy
build, advanced design, and intelligent technology.
Two models are available - the BMW 540i Sedan and BMW
540i 6-Speed Sedan.
European vehicles have a reputation for taking safety
seriously, and the BMW 540i is no exception to the rule.
Standards include four-wheel ventilated ABS brakes,
all-season traction, front fog lights, and child safety
locks.
The list of safety measures continues with side head
protection air bags, side impact air bags, driver depowered
air bag, and passenger depowered air bag. Heated windshield
washer jets and high-pressure washer keep the front
lights clear for uninterrupted, clear visibility.
In the performance arena, the powerful yet light alloy
4.4-litre engine features four overhead camshafts, 32
valves, variable valve timing, and eight cylinders.
These impressive points combine to pump out 282 horsepower,
while at the same time scoring a rating as a low-emission
vehicle.
The BMW 540i is built with three-mode transmission
to bring out optimum performance, especially while accelerating
quickly on the open highway. With a sport-calibrated
suspension, seventeen-inch alloy wheels, performance
tires, and fine overall tuning, it has highly effective
handling.
Of course, luxury is never overlooked at BMW - hence
the reputation as a vehicle of status. Comforts and
conveniences include a top-notch anti-theft AM/FM stereo
with cassette player and optional CD player, power door
locks, power windows, and heated dual power mirrors.
Cruise control is also a basic.
The interior of the BMW 540i Sedan is graced with automatic
climate control, leather seating, leather details such
as handbrake boot, gearshift lever and knob, and wood
trim. The cruise control, audio system, cell phone,
and air circulation controls are all mounted on the
steering wheel.
In addition to the fine leather upholstery, the seats
are twelve-way power with memory in the front, and have
power headrests. Heated front seats are available in
the Cold Weather Package for BMW. A convenient rear
windshield roller blind keeps the car cool when you’re
parked in the sun, complimented by the programmable
automatic air ventilation system that keeps air circulating.
The list of features goes on and on in all three categories,
adding much more value to the overall package. Whether
you’re looking for a high-end sedan to transport
family or business executives, the BMW 540i 6-Speed
Sedan is sure to impress.
The BMW 540i 6-Spped Sedan adds the sportier handling
of a six-speed manual transmission that gets the best
out of the engine’s capabilities, especially when
overtaking other vehicles or merging into fast-paced
traffic.
