Great review! Not sure why there aren’t many reviews of the 2024 540 out there, it’s been out for a few months now. There are plenty of 530 and electric reviews. I’m waiting for the 550e version, coming out in spring which is gonna have the same power train as the X5 50e. 483 hp and probably .5 seconds quicker then the 540 and have about 40 miles ev range for around town. Please review that one, the 550e when it hits dealers!

Great review! Sadly, the U.S. market does not get the comfort seats, thus the headrests, the front seat leg extenders, and the back seat half-fold are manual instead of power. The U.S. market also doesn't get the Integral Active Steering, 4-wheel steering, and anti-roll stabilizer. We also don't get the Digital 4-Zone Rear Climate Control, M Style Seat belts, and front massage seats. Lastly, it is truly disappointing that BMW decided to get rid of the door sills. I enjoyed the door sills, especially the illuminated ones. Come of BMW, even the Honda Accord has them. In my opinion, the BMW has gone cheap, we get less, but pay a lot more. Cheap plastic door panels, hard dashboards, cheap plastic window switches, and no Matrix LED lights.

Back seats does not have an ambient lightning.

I have generally preferred the appearance of most BMW models with the M-sport package, but for the new 5 series the opposite is true. That huge black underbite grill is such a weird feature, it looks terrible. The standard 540 front end looks much cleaner. It also comes with 19 inch wheels which is too big in my opinion, 18 is the ideal size for a few reasons. 20 is bordering on ridiculous. I also prefer the chrome grill surrounds, as the blacked out trim makes the already too big grill look even bigger. BMW's design department has really gone off the deep end. I understand they want to go in a new direction, and appeal more to the Chinese market, but most of the new designs are mediocre at best, an abomination at the worst.

Went to BMW today, wanted a 24’ 540i m sport, kinda pressed into a slightly more expensive i5 edrive 40 loaded for even less than the 540i (in a lease of course) , wanted to buy outright, but dealer kept pushing for a very reasonable number of 750 including tax for 36 months 6k down LEASE even though they can not match it for 540i which is 3k less at 72k ..seems like dealer is really trying to lease the I5? Also cross shopping for a comparable (numbers for 36 month lease) Volvo S60 recharge..my daily commute is less then 45 miles which is supposed to make my entire commute barely touching gas..

I've driven one myself and a few points I disagree with... the visibility is not that great, it's adequate, but it's not great - B pillars are rather thick. Because the car is now taller (due to the fact that the same body is used for both EV and ICE cars, ICE cars have several inches of height added to the bottom of the vehicle to house the battery, which ICE cars obviously don't have) the seating position is very different from what it used to be like, it almost, not quite, but almost like an SUV in that regard, really takes getting used to. All in all: really capable chassis, great engine/transmission combo, but geared more towards comfort rather than driving pleasure
