BMW Canada only offers xdrive model for both 530i and 540i, dammit!
Why?! At least give us a rwd option for 40i.

The usual nickel and dime costs for tech... but even after adding every package there are still some things missing?

and $4200 for the Bowers and Wilkins... what a joke. I have the exact same speaker setup and system in my Volvo XC90 and it was quite less.

I found that I had to disable content/ad blockers for it to show the new models. Also, it didn't work at all on mobile

good thing its only a demo, can't pick Med Blue with M Sport even though its an option under M Sport...

I hate how they bundle the HUD now, and what's up with heated front seats not being standard (and why wouldn't they be part of cold weather package)

why isnt comfort access included in the the 540?!?!?!

in order to get comfort access you need to get the premium package which has basically nothing now. even soft close doors and power liftgate are not included standard.

still an upcharge for sirus and heated seats. youd think an xdrive model with the upcharge for awd would include heated seats and wheel.

and seriously? a rear view camera is not standard? what a joke.

70k for a nicely equipped 540i when the m550i starts at 72k.. curious how stripped that will be.

This was me restraining myself in building a RWD 540i. My girlfriend works for BMW so thank god we get the Employee Center Discount. If this build leases for $750-$800 with that discount we'll more than likely move forward as her current lease will be up once these are plentiful.

Worldwide many people are opting out of Comfort access type systems due to it being exploited as a way to steal cars.

So BMW gives you the option

My 2014 550xi lease is coming up in a few months. The MSRP on that was $75, 425 for m sport, executive and cold weather. I'm pricing out a nearly similar 540xi for a whopping $1,000 less, WTF?!

Now I have no idea what I should do. My current lease is $715/mo - I'm guessing the M550 will be over $1000/mo to start.

I think that would be the Mediterranean Blue. It's brighter in person than on the configuration.

It's actually not priced too bad. I optioned up a 540i to roughly $68K. I don't care much for driver aids or upgraded sound but was able to get the other good stuff I like (metallic paint, ///M sport, Nappa leather, Cold weather, Comfort seating, etc.). But knowing myself, I would surely add Individual interior when it becomes available in order to get that stitched leather dash and doors, so that'll take it up to the low $70Ks. Still not terrible. I couldn't find the black wheel option for ///M sport on this demo site, whereas the corporate site has it.

It's a bummer that the Nappa leather is only available in black, white, or very dark brown/mocha. For me, black is boring, white is nice but takes too much work to keep clean, and the mocha is too dark for my liking. Saddle is the perfect color, but you can only get Dakota

$70k for a loaded 540.

"Nicely equipped" is under $65k
