I picked up the the 540 on Monday, I have to say I am amazed by how great this car is. The technology in this car is incredible, everything is adjustable from small things like what outdoor temperature do you want the heated seat or steering wheel to automatically come on to cameras that literally allow you to take a picture of your car from different views when it is parked (perfect for when it’s at the dealer getting worked on). Plus it wants to be driven .... finally a bmw that wants to just go fast and handle like a drivers car though don’t get too excited for those that are not used to electric steering, you still won’t like it.

The windows are getting tinted this weekend and a lip spoiler is getting installed shortly.

Anyway here are a few pictures !!

Very nice AF! They look sharp but they do seem big. My M3 feels big to me.

Thanks to all ... yes it’s a bigger car compared to the 3er, I drove the 340 a couple of days ago and that feels like a sports car .. very tight and completely awesome but this car is just sooooo comfortable and damn my back was loving the massaging seats ... i’m really going to get in trouble with this one. It just wants to go, I found myself flying through lanes left and right and just wanted to keep going, seriously I am a calmish driver but this car just wants to go.


Kognito ... it replaced my 17 A6 which had the 3.0 supercharged engine which I see on the dealers website they decide to keep and resell ... I loved that car and thought it was perfect for a middle aged guy like me but I have to say this car blows that one away.
