Absolute blast to drive. Glued to the road and sticks you in the seat on acceleration. Stops great. Comfortable for long trips. Overall great car.

I am a long-time BMW owner, and have experienced the evolution of BMW’s 5-series model from my 1987 535is sedan, to my 1997 Dinan 540i, and now my newly purchased 2020 540i xDrive. The new models have become computers equipped with four run-flat tires ! The 540 handles well, and has a spirited twin-turbo motor. I also appreciate the technology platform, but I don’t need to be distracted by the dashboard wizardry that will essentially get obsolete and/or need unobtainable service. Particularly annoying is the “lane departure” feature that tries to steer you back into your lane, whenever you are trying to switch lanes ! The “heads up” display is for fighter pilots, not for daily drivers...... likewise there is no spare tire, no tools, just an 800-number. to call to order up a flat bed truck to take you and your flat-tired car away ! who you gonna call when you are passing through the UTAH desert and you catch a nail or deep pothole ?! But, it seems all new cars now suffer from this “driver withdrawal syndrome”. GO BMW ! But all modern automobiles
