Hey, that is nice to hear, since I'd absolutely get DHP, whether it has RWS or not. The weight difference between a RWD 540i and an AWD M550i is massive, and basically all in the front (between heavier engine and AWD hardware), so RWS is probably not needed on a much lighter 540 IMO. And less complication as well. But we'll have to wait for the 540 specs, since configurator only has the 530 for now.

Oh, and salesman called me and said no more '23s, so that option is gone. And there's no 540 in the pipeline not already in production. Plus no discounts, so waiting for a '24 is a no-brainer. Plus with dual injection and +40 HP is also a no-brainer. Plus much nicer interior too. Didn't like it's 4" longer, but still have to see if it's actually heavier or not. Also hope it's still double-wishbone and multi-link, which is great. Will do research on the MB E-class equivalent, but as a driving enthusiast, and motorcycle enthusiast with a BMW sport bike, will most likely end up with a BMW.
