You have to put it in Launch mode to get that time. You can't just floor it from a stop light and get 4.0 seconds. The 5-60 time is because of this too.

I have yet to see any 540i trims at any of the dealerships near me. I don’t know how informed the SAs are but I asked one about seeing one and he said they haven’t had any and that he didn’t think they were coming to the U.S. market. He said that I’d probably have to special order one. I am pretty skeptical as if this is true or why but I haven’t any as of yet.

No idea what the real world numbers are or whether C&D was off.

I just checked my two local dealer websites. There’s a bunch of 2024 540i’s sitting around, and a couple of 2025’s in transit. You should go to another dealer if this one can’t be bothered to take your money and give you a car.

There aren’t many 540i compared to the 530i and i5 in my area, but they do exist. Probably need to shop around.

Completely untrue. As far as I’ve heard the 540 is only being offered in the United States. I think he wants to sell you a 530 and is willing to lie to make it happen. Go on Car Edge.com and do a search for 24 or 25, 540’s. Hundreds will pop up. |

If only it looked like a BMW. Where’s the hoffmeister kink? What’s with the obsession on these light up grille surrounds? They are so tacky.

Good question. For now the 540 is listed as USA only. I have read that the 540 used to be the best seller in Canada for the G30. Yet why not sell the G60 540i there as well. Maybe it's just for now and will be allowed later in the year. Not sure for the UK, or Australia market, because of the Right-Hand-Drive. And there are no Right hand drive 540's being produced right now for ANY market. But I believe for Canada, an enterprising individual could just go down to the US, buy a 540, and then import it to Canada as long as it meets Canadian requirements (See Link Below). I don't think there is much difference between US Spec and Canadian Spec cars. I'm not sure what the cost of importing and registering would be.

In Spain a fully optioned out 520i/d can sell for upwards of 100K Euros including VAT. CORRECTION: I was browsing the UK Configurator. Looks like the Diesel is not available in the UK. And the 520i is not a X Drive, and is listed at lower than the 255 HP the 530i has. Sorry for the confusion. If you get the 550e it comes with the B58 inline 6 petrol engine. But it is a plug-in hybrid like you said. Sorry, but I don't see any higher powered ICE versions for the UK. Last edited by AiredaleDad; 09-19-2024 at 02:53 AM.. Reason: Correction |
