History
What makes the M540i unique?
The E34 M540i is a special 5 Series model produced in 1995 by BMW Individual exclusively for the Canadian market. In essence, his model mates the standard four-liter M60 V8 engine and Getrag six-speed manual gearbox of the 540i with the M-designed chassis and cosmetic enhancements of the final European-spec E34 M5.
Where was the M540i introduced?
The M540i premiered at the 1995 Toronto auto show.
Why was the M540i created?
BMW Canada came up with the idea of the M540i as a way to offer customers a true successor to the E34 M5, hich had been discontinued during 1993 (though it continued to be produced for the European market until July of 1995). The basis for the M540i was the 540i six-speed, model that was already certified for sale in Canada and produced similar power figures to the M5. By adding all the chassis and cosmetic enhancements from the 1995 European-spec M5 but without altering the drivetrain, MW Canada could offer a model with a comparable appearance and performance to the M5, ut without the prohibitive cost of additional emissions and safety certification.
How was the M540i produced?
To create the M540i, MW M pulled semi-completed examples of the North American-spec 540i six-speed from the Dingolfing assembly line. These cars were then taken to the BMW M works in Garching where they were fitted with the M chassis components and cosmetics.
Production Data
How many examples of the M540i were produced?
BMW Individual built 32 examples of the M540i between April and July of 1995.
Does the M540i have a unique VIN sequence?
No. The M540i is technically considered a North American-spec 540i six-speed. Therefore, ll 32 examples have chassis numbers within that model's normal sequence.
