I think I would have been fine with a 540 but this 550 had all the options we wanted.
the 540 has more than enough power and speed.

enjoy your search!
Does it have a M power quad turbo rocket thruster?

I skipped some features but splurged on a few cosmetics. I could go for M Sport brakes if I could find a spec other than color.

2022 540i Sedan

M Sport
Dark Graphite

Black Sensatec
Ash Grain Trim
Premium Package
Shadowline
Space Saver Spare
Sensatec Dash

$66, 915

I hate paying retail.
Just FYI, I paid $67k for my 2020 M550 that had 10,500 miles in Sept 2021.
Still plenty of factory warranty left on it. Original sticker price was $93k.
Like others have said, there are good deals that pop up now and then.
For me, the M550 is ridiculous. Its like driving a spaceship or something.
I absolutely love it.

If you did not know the 2020 and up M550's had big engine upgrades.
The newer ones now make 523 HP and 553 Torque.

Dealership where I ordered has a 2021 540i with 14,400 miles they are asking sticker price. I was told it was a salesman's car but it looked like a loaner to me. The 550 mentioned earlier in this thread had oil change intervals of 14,000 and 12,000 mile intervals. Was your deal a local one or did you buy it sight unseen?

Yes, it was local for me. It was actually a Subaru dealership owner's personal car. Do some Cars.com, Autotrader, etc searches. You can limit the distance to search. That is how I found mine. Just make sure you have a factory or CPO warranty with it. That way you're covered. You can buy BMW extended warranties while you're still under the factory too. Which is what I plan on doing.
