My daughter? I can't get her out the front seat for more than 12.000km
The car is impressive: it's smooth, silent and the delivery of power is nearly electric. The difference in power is not really so remarkable, but you don't have to search for it, the engine is always full. Yours should be absolutely incredible. On the other hand, I can't get used to "new era" in cars. I liked when cars didn't do things by their own, and you din't have to be worried about updates like in an old Android phone. I assume I'll be late when you read this, but the first time you try to maneuver in a narrow place (and everything is tigh with this car), you will have a micro heart attack when it suddenly brakes and you felt as you have hit something... but not, it brakes to the metal when you still have 50cm to the obstacle. Luckly, you can disable it. |

So far here is the only picture I have. It was late, and we were waiting for me to sign all the paperwork. My Wife can't see well at night to drive so it was a slow drive home with her following. I promise to post more today. Just wanted to show a "Week 36er" finally got his ride.

The only issue I have is that when I connected my phone, it connects, but when I try to start Android Auto, it says Bluetooth incompatible with this version. I tried my Samsung S20+, My Wife's Iphone 13 pro plus, and the dealer tried his phone as well. He's going to talk to the tech dept and see if this is a known issue and how to resolve it. I may need to buy a new phone like I mentioned before.

Ok. So here are the long anticipated pictures of my new 2025 540iX. Ordered Jun 11, built week 36, delivered last night. I just put the floor liners in. The dealer installed the M logos on the fenders and the M door sill plates. Sorru about the photos coming out sideways. Lol. I swear they were the right side up when I put them in.

I also tried to use the BimmerUtility dongle today with my cellphone, but it was unable to detect the VIN.

Another one who now looks like the king's grandma ... but it worths it!
Whenever you want we meet in the south of Spain for a basic/full equipment comparative. (Motors sound better not try, I don't want to go home in tears). PS Photo of the king of Spain's Grandmother: |
