Anyone drive a 540ix yet?

Curious how it compares in terms of quickness and handling compared the I5 variants.

Power wise seems to be right in between the 40 and 60. Closer to the 40 than 60. I test drive both of those and the M60 was obviously fast but the I5 e40 actually surprised me as well.

Received my 540i on Tuesday, however I haven’t driven any of the i5s, only a 530i. Definitely got more power than the 530i of course, and spec wise it is more preformant than the i5 eDrive 40. However, the instant torque of the i5 40 could make it feel more responsive from certain speeds.
