2024 540 Delivered
Yesterday, I dropped off my 2021 540 and picked up 2024 540.
This was my G30 and a point of reference to my comments - https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1762776 I did not get a chance to spend a lotta time in the G60 yet (work is crazy) so wont provide in-depth observations here. However, immediately few themes stand out; car is very comfy (seats and ride), steering and handling is great, tech is better, quality of materials used is worse (sun visors, door cards, etc). I know many of us are anxiously awaiting new rides so please feel free to ask questions.

Congrats! I picked up my new 5 Series on 12/30...and I am loving it.
Some materials are better than past BMWs, and some materials are not better. Tech, comfort, performance, range, styling and enjoyment are amazing though! Last edited by deutsch100; 01-18-2024 at 07:51 PM.. |

Congratulations, and thanks for the pictures! Looks like you picked all the same options that I did for my red eDrive40. Are you enjoying the luxury seat package? I won't get my car until March sometime at the earliest. Be sure to share your thoughts with the group here after you've had a chance to drive it for a while.

Congrats! Finally another G60 540i on the forums. Almost went with Brooklyn Grey on mine too.

How's the start/stop of the engine? One individual seems to have had concerns about this but no other review of the ICE cars ever mentioned anything. Are you happy with this?

I find the seats to be much more comfortable than what I had on G30 (nappa, ventilated, and massage). The G60 seats are softer than nappa on G30, the ventilation is much stronger than on G30 (finally !!). I thought i would miss the muticontour seats, but I dont. I also like that I can adjust the "depth" of the headrest instead of only being able to tilt it...minor things that count  I wish the side bolster adjustment was a button on the side of the seat along with other buttons, but we gotta go through the idrive to adjust the bolstering. However, idrive now offers the "gentleman function" by allowing the driver to adjust the passenger's seat. The seatbelts are not hugging the driver automatically anymore (unless i missed some idrive checkbox), instead the seat moves forward and backwards. If I remember correctly thats exactly what my F10 used to do but then on G30 the seatbelt would "hug" me, both when driving off and during hard acceleration. Yeah I will post more when i get to drive more. One thing I really was looking forward to is the 85mph driver's assistant. It is the same function that on G30 worked only up to 40mph. Basically, car monitors your eyes and as long as you're looking straight ahead you DO NOT need to tap the wheel periodically. This worked really well on G30 (up to 40mph) and works great on G60 up to 85mph. Changing lanes just by looking at the mirror is some Harry Potter stuff LOL.
