Excellent daily driver

Incredibly comfortable upscale daily driver with an abundance of power. The V8 engine with 523 horsepower rockets this large sedan to 60mph in just 3.6 seconds with performance that nips at the heels of the M5. BMW’s infotainment is amongst the best in the industry.

My BMW 540i is a safety beast! I wanted and got every safety feature that BMW currently has available. I got the Sandstone Blue which is gorgeous. It is so easy to use the instruments. If the front seats are all the way back (you must be over 6'2") the back seat passenger has enough room not to feel cramped. When the seats are more reasonable, it is luxorous. I just feel Safe. I had to get out of a situation and without putting it in Sport mode, I excellerated out of the traffic cluster. The price is NOT the best, but for my safety and my families, how can you put a price on either.

Decided to go hybrid to get significantly better gas mileage. Assumed I would be sacrificing power and driving pleasure. I was pleasantly surprised. Plenty of torque, lots of comfort and features. Easy to lose track of speed in highway. Have been 40+ miles per gallon. UPDATE: Went from 535ix to 530xe. I was nervous about going from a 6 to a 4 cyl engine.. I was pleasantly surprised and the assist you get from the electrical motor makes you completely forget about the difference in HP. The 40+ miles per gallon for my usage habit is also a pleasant surprise. This is my 4th BMW and there will be a 5th; when I am done with this one I will be looking for another BMW Plug in Hybrid (X5-50e).
Love this car

Love my BMW!!! Getting the Euro style and great handling and love having a hybrid, getting great mileage with plug in charge. I love that this car can pre heat in the morning and be ready for my morning commute. Easy to plug into my existing garage 110v plug for an overnight charge.

Buyers beware! I purchased a pre-owned 2019 530e series and at first I was happy with it. This all came to an end when I started to have issues with what I keep saying is the transmission. This is not my first rodeo having a vehicle with Transmission issues so I know what to look out for and how the drive feels. When I say I have reported the ongoing issue with my car jerking and feeling like it’s about to shut off while driving more than 10 x’s it’s the amount of times I have proof of. However, all the times I’ve taken it in to the BMW service department, I was first told that there weren’t any codes so they couldn’t identify any issues. Then the times they’ve tried to fix it, the issue seems to get worse. I paid $45K for a lemon. By now I’m over owning a BMW and want BMW to take ownership and replace or buy back my car. If it weren’t for the warranty covering all the band aid repairs, I’d probably be bankrupt by now. Please do not buy a hybrid as my experience has been everything but good.
