My New Mediterranean Blue 540i
Ordered March 17 -- Delivered May 12 (Been too busy to take pics until now)
2017 540i M-Sport Mediterranean Blue Metallic Cognac Leather Fineline Cove Trim M Brakes 20" BMW Individual wheels Pirelli P-Zero Summer Run-Flats 245/35/20 Front -- 275/30/20 Rear Driving Assistance Package Apple CarPlay Harman Kardon So far, I'm loving this car... The perfect car for me, as I'm in the car most of the day showing houses, driving around clients, etc -- Very roomy, plenty fast and lots of cool tech to play with. Only complaints thus far is that it is almost TOO quiet -- great when I'm on the phone or listening to music, but keeps it from being as "sporty" as I'd like it to sound/feel. The car pulls very hard, love the full torque under 2k RPM -- 8-speed transmission is really good, can definitely feel the upshifts -- I love how in sport mode, the car downshifts aggressively when approaching a corner/braking... "almost" feels like you're driving a manual. -Matt Last edited by OrlandoVol; 06-29-2017 at 12:51 AM.. |

The passive M-sport suspension is exactly what I like -- it's what I have on my F10 and my E90. |

It's more for my comfort -- I am a Realtor, spend most of my days showing homes and sitting around at inspections, etc... Very comfortable and functional mobile office.

that's the dog's dangly bits!
I like the fact you can tick the option to dim theambient lighting for night driving , that was a concern I had that it might be a bit bright at night. Prompts a question, can the idrive be turned off? I turn it off on my F10 when on long night drives on unlit roads, find it mroe restful on the eyes. |
