The 540 BMW does everything just right. Not the very best in one but master of all.

Nice car but with a "gremlin"

Bought my 2022 530i a few months ago. Overall a nice car but for one issue. The back panel of the front passenger seat rattles against the metal seat frame . There is a service bulletin out and the dealership states they have done all they can but the rattle remains when the seat is empty. Very irritating. So if quality build in your "luxury" sedan is important, keep this potential flaw in mind.

Has anyone found that the shifter fails to respond.while the car is "determined to STAY IN PARK. I occasionally have to turn off the engine, and restart the car to keep it in drive. Very frustrating esp. when cars behind you are being blocked because you can't move...This event has occurred 3 times in the past 3 mos.

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
