This makes 3. I'd go with the 540.
However 2/3 of those cars have to be autos so i'm thinking the 540 might be too. Either way i'd still go with the 540.
Thats 3000!

if its 01 go with the 540. If you decide to go newer, dont think twice about getting an E500 with the new 7 Speed. That thing hauls ass and looks hot as hell.

gs4 all the way. it is more efficient and more power than either of the german ones. more reliable too.
but if you want a stick, get the 540

the 540 will still be hot but look at the new 5 and make sure you can deal with driving the old style car
when I bought my clk430 I like my it more than the clk500 which came out so it made my decision that much easier

Personally if it was me:It would be like this(due to looks)(i haven't drove any of em)
i'd rate em like this and read about em:
#1. E-class Benz
#2. Lexus
#3. BMW(to the styling of everything before 04 in the 5 series sucked) sorry but thats my own opinion

The best deal for the money is the M45 .. hands down !!!
It actually has the best V8 and nicest interior as well. To comparably equip ANY other car in this class with the features the M45 has, it'll cost ya another $10 G's ...
I hope to be picking one up real soon ...

You heard me Lex
Considering the 540 has a 4.4 liter and the GS 400 has a 4.0 liter and auto for auto, the GS is faster and more reliable, I give the engine to the GS.
