Very nicely specced up car there. Would have cost a fair amount new

Engine is rock solid so nothing to worry about
Only thing to be aware of are coolant leaks that are common across the range( just search these forums). This may have already been addressed previously potentially

Cracking engine, one of the best out there

The semiautonomous stuff is good

Yeh I’d go for the loaded up one to be honest
You won’t be disappointed with the 540. I had a 2017 540 for 5 years and really enjoyed it
Fast, very refined, economical if you want it to be. Quality interior

I would recommend you get your connected drive setup and subscribe to at least the RTtI ( real time traffic updates) well worth it . Saved me countless hours of being stuck in traffic over the years

Map updates also worth having. The other subscriptions less so imho
Agree with all of this but just get CarPlay and use Waze or google maps instead of RTTi on the BMW nav. My 2019 is nearly the same spec as option 1 and it’s a fantastic car.
