New 540i Xdrive MSport Touring

Ordered in May and collected at the weekend. Did not over do the options list, ticking the things that are most important to me, trying to avoid those i might use once and never again.
Visibility pack
EDC
Comfort Seats
Dynamic safety
Exterior mirrors folding/anti-dazzle
HK Surround Sound
Parking Assistant Plus

Super impressed with the car, thought i would share a pic

Thanks. Coming from a 9 year old Volvo V70, its amazing how things have moved on.
Got to head back overseas for 3 months, so a little frustrating having to store it and not able to get many miles under my belt until next year.

Hope the rear has settled down a bit?

Yes, does look a bit high, i think that's the EDC in comfort mode.

First impressions, in sport mode the ride is pretty comfortable and not harsh at all, i could easily have lived with the std passive M Sport suspension.

Still trying to get my head around the parking tech.

Yes I chose the passive M Sport suspension. I am really impressed how it soaks up the bumps and I am on 20" wheels!

I have noticed mine sit a little high when there has been passengers in the rear and I park up, which must be the self levelling working.

I agree there is a lot of tech to learn.
