I think this vehicle has the worse wheels options ever for a BMW. What a disaster this car is.

$80K all-in on my spec.
Wish there was more distinction btw ext colors, wheels and interior trim between 530/540/i5.

I foresee a lot of Brooklyn Grey 5s hitting the road.

So I can get Adaptive Suspension on a 330i but I can’t get it on a 540ix? Adaptive Suspension is a must have.

Fair point but the G20 has been in production for a few years. It’s probably just supply ramp up constraints like with other features. If this carries on past spring or summer next year then it’s a much bigger issue.

I didn’t like the adaptive suspension in my F30 so specifically chose the static 704 sport suspension in my G30 540i and have been very satisfied with it. I’m holding out for availability of Silverstone comfort seats and IAS before jumping to the G60 540iX.

Very puzzling decision by BMW. While it can be best explained by supply chain issues, to some potential customers it can be a sales barrier.

Again- a puzzling decision not to offer M Adaptive suspension.

How is the 0-60 time the same for the 530i and 540i xDrive models?

BMW does this constantly. Next year they’ll offer just to say they refreshed the packages.

Also no massaging seats.

Hopefully by next summer the missing options become available.

And I am still disappointed that Jet Black is gone. It is a superior black to Black Sapphire, and was free.

Impressive starting price. A 2017 540i xDrive started at 60k which is 76k today with inflation.
