New member, awaiting 540i

Hey Everyone,

Recently stumbled across this forum after doing some research on the 540i. Ordered mine on the 4th of November and its the waiting game now. The build im told should start next week with expected delivery a couple of weeks after that.

Now after some more research and speaking with the dealer about the Power and sound kit, they've offered £2500 fitted. My question is, am i getting a good deal for this kit?

I look forward to contributing to this great forum in the future.

Many Thanks

Has

Congratulations on the 540i. That is impressive, only 3-4 weeks from order to build. That is the quickest I've seen.

Funny, I was thinking that's a long wait to build.

It depends where the order cycle is at. I ordered mine on May 30th, and it went into build on June 12th. Had I waited until June to order, it would have taken much longer.

Oh, and congrats on the 540i. It's an epic car.

You're quite right. Also depends on the options chosen from what i was told!

Many thanks, very much looking forward to it.

Another dealer has now emailed me and mentioned that BMW have halted the production of performance exhaust for cars built after JUNE 2018 due to a new ‘Petrol Particulate Filter’ in the system which the previous performance exhausts are not compatible with.

Anyone heard about this?

Thanks
