At least for my 400E, the wiring harness is the same as those on US models, the insulation was as brittle as dead tree's bark, it broke away and exposed bare metal with just a touch by fingers.

If the bimmer driver is as crazy, there is NO way that a 540i (auto or stick) can lose to a 420SEL in a drag race.

P.S. That's the one of the reasons that tomorrow I am getting my E39 540i 6-speed.
