Most people looking for or building a 540 weren't looking to option it out to $90,000. The higher the model, the more options it comes with built into the base price. For most, the 540 was the right price point and the right engine for them.
Bowers and Wilkins on a 540 is extremely rare, it may not even be an option on the 540, but I think it was. It's a $3,400 option that moves the cost basis up pretty quickly. Wireless charging pad is pretty common on all pre-lci models, but honestly, it is trash and doesn't work well. Soft close doors were eliminated from all G30's in 2021 forward. I also think this is a rare find on a 540, but definitely not obtainable on a 2021+.
Maybe the 540 crowd can chime in and confirm or correct me.

I came across someone on another board with a 540i with an msrp of 88k. Really something, never have seen anything else like it. It had everything possible on a g30 other than merino leather. B&W was possible on some years, ‘17-‘20 I think, but is exceedingly hard to find.
Overall your reasoning is spot on…and 95k+ msrp m550i’s are also hard to find, because at that point, many will say to hell with it and go for an m5…
