My 1995 540i with the 4.0L M60 is spec'd at 6.2 secs 0-60 (AUTO). The 1993 and 1994 540's were significantly slower for some reason. Mine gets 18-19mpg around town, with a lead foot, and about 24-25mpg highway. The 6 Speed 1995 540i with a Dinan chip is exactly as fast as the 500E, and would have no problem keeping up with an E34 M5. 5.5secs 0-60 for the 6spd. I've driven both....the 6-Speed is scary fast.
