Collected my 540i xDrive a few hours ago.

First thing i checked was A/C
After reading many posts about how useless it is, i was really worried but all is fine with it. It is 38C today and within a minute or so it was very cool inside. I have the 4 zone AC if that makes any difference.
No cracking noise either. Car sat in direct sunlight only half an hour though.

IAS : i did not drive in the city much but car did not feel big at all parking into tight spaces. Driving home, I took the longest route on the highway and drove around 100km - dealer is actually only 10km away very stable at speeds around 230kmh and high speed lane changes.

M Sport Suspension with 20" wheels : i did not have a chance to test drive this combination and was worried about ride comfort too but all my concerns went away, it is totally acceptable for me.

Engine : coming from a FBO E92 335i , this was my main concern. I did not go WOT and high rpms yet, partial throttle felt better than expected. It is very silent though and i dont like it
Eagerly waiting for MPPSK to be released. MPExhaust is already available but I dont want to leave the car at the dealer twice. I will wait for MPPSK. Dealer had told me it would be available in May. And then June.. And now they are saying July..

Only 130km on the odo, all is good so far

Thank you! I went with Pilot Sport 4S

I did not dare to run RFT with 20" and passive m sport suspension

I was very happy with PSS on my 335i and these are supposed to be even better. Have not driven enough to compare but i hear only positive reviews

Thank you!
I also normally like multi spoke wheels more but i find these wheels fit the car well.

Adaptive LEDs with high beam assist work amazing, very impressed.

One thing i really did not like so far is side mirror tilting down too much when reversing. So much that it is useless and i disabled the feature.

I remember seeing a thread about this, someone was complaining about how further it tilts down and apparently the only solution is coding. Weird

Hi - Please confirm if the 668M style wheels will fit directly on the bMW 540i x-drive without any mods? Thanks!

Awesome, thanks! After looking at your pictures I am about to pull the trigger on a set of 668M wheels for my 2018 540i x-drive.
