24 test drive 540i

Eric500 · 03-23-2017, 01:56 PM

Got an offer in the mail (Houston) offering a 24 hr test drive of a new BMW. Manager said I could take a 540i

Black sapphire, cognac comfort seats, and the basic shiny brown wood. Luxury package

So far I've noticed the handling is much improved as is the ride. My current 2014 luxury line also with 19s is very crashy on local Houston roads. Impact harshness is high on the 2014. The G30 is much improved on my work commute.

HK is a step above the F10 HK.

Only have 24 hours so may not be able to get good pics, but I'll post more thoughts soon!

I know there are several owners out there already, but if there's any stone left unturned that you'd like me to look into let me know!

I am so much interrested in the interior. Cuz I offered cognac :-)

Took some night shots just messing around with my camera. The overhead lights are really bright.

The cognac Dakota leather is pretty good and the comfort seats are amazing!

Do you have active ventilation too ?
