So if the G30 will be revealed next month, you're pretty much on a 7-year lifecycle.

Dumb. No wagon. No manual. Guess I'll keep driving my 2008.

No 550i either. I am slightly disappointed, but I guess it just means that by the time I get my G30 they will hopefully have any initial kinks ironed out.

I have to say a little disappointed in the color choices, no Mineral Gray or Space Grey and the selections with the M Sport Pkg are even less so not even Silver!! As I'm sure you can guess i prefer the grey/silver shades lol

Small update On Saturday, we took Macan for few hours for a test drive. And now, it is out of the game Macan is a fantastic drivers car, but once you start using it as a normal daily car you start missing BMW. Bigest problem, it lacks space, the interior, yes it is high quality (but still I think that high quality is overrated, there is nothing so good) but it looks very old and so nice, especially whole central console is a joke. My wife was actually quite upset with the interior look. Once you start using infotainment system, you immediately want your BMW back, its years ahead. After that, we went to the BMW dealership to take a look at the 7 series interior (since the new 5 is going to be 90% the same inside). Immediately, we felt relaxed, so nice, so luxurious... She was like, that's the car!!! So finally, I will be ordering 540i xDrive the first day when BMW starts accepting orders. Then as soon as BMW releases power and sound kit for it I will install it and bump the power to ~380hp (my estimation), with a great sound and estimated 0-60 time ~4.5-4.7s, what more you can ask for End of story P.S. I would take Macan in a heartbeat as a second car, but for the only car in the house, too many compromises... |

Not really.
First, I don't really care about that much, for me it's much more important how I like the car and how I personally enjoy it. Yes, Porsche is more exclusive but that is not an important parameter on my pros and cons list. Second, where I live and work, you would honestly not believe how many Macans are around, for sure more than BMW 5s I know, this is probably one of the very few places in the world where this is the case, but Porsche is here not so exclusive as somewhere else. Now when the G30 is out, I am 100% sure we made a good decision |

Bluestone metallic seems to be color on 540 in the press photo, the color goes from almost SilverGray to a light Blue depending on lighting. Will of course have to see it in person before making any decisions.

I guess quite a few on here have not yet got used to the BMW (German) way. Perhaps they'd like all the bells and whistles as standard, and have a big increase in base price.
Then we'd have the other complaint, "why am I having to buy options I don't want..." Wait a minute, we already have that in some topics. |
