New Owner 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Hi! New owner here (2024 540) - literally picked up my car last night. It’s my first BMW, actually my first non-American car. Fell in love on the test drive. Wondering if anyone has tips/tricks/favorite things they are willing to share. I have been combing through threads but, little is dedicated to the 5 series. Thanks!

Sorry - should have included that; I bought in the US. Yes, Carbon Black. I was really torn between this and the Tanzanite Blue. |

Congratulations on the car! You may want to check out this thread if you haven't already. Maybe it will get a new life again since you brought it up. :-) I'm still pretty new as well, so I don't have anything to add yet, but I will if I think of anything.

 I took delivery of my 540i three weeks ago. Black sapphire for me though. You’re going to love it. You’re going to love being on the Forums too. There are some great people here. |

I have always loved the look of a car in black. Was not sure I wanted another black car however after my last 4 cars were black and the wifes' Jeep is black. Carbon Black though made getting a black car not really getting a black car.

I need to see pics of your bernedoodle!! If it helps - here’s the link to my cover. I used this in my Caddy and bought a new one for my 5. Amazing cover - durable and washes well. Had the last cover for about 8 years! New one came with a seat belt tether, too. I still use my old tether, though - feels sturdier.
