My 540 is the first car I've had with drive and it's very noticeable compared to red as to how much it helps "getting the power down"
Any Spritely acceleration is very sure footed

My previous 530d red was very easy for the wheels to spin if I launched off the line quickly.

With drive I feel very confident say when emerging from a roundabout and apply power even though I've not quite straightened up. With red I'd have left it later until I was going in a straight line before applying the power .

In the uk the 540i only comes in xdrive so the decision was made for me but I am glad that I have it.
