Hey all. My name is Brian and I'm a long time reader here, but this is my first post and I'm pretty stoked. Picked up my 540i M Sport in Black Sapphire Metallic and to say it's incredible would be a severe understatement. Pics below and on Instagram at @sapphire_g30

These are great thanks! Question to the audience: BMW obviously got rid of the selection between automatic and manual 'closed air circulation' on the A/C panel. Does anyone know if the default state is now automatic and the switched on state manual? I hope it's not just open air intake and closed air intake-I loved the automatic feature on all my previous BMW cars...

It's controlled by the iDrive system now! There's an option settings for it. I'll shoot a photo of the menu display

RWD. Wanted xDrive, but that was going to add weeks to the wait time. (Honestly, I wanted an M550i, but I just couldn't wait until April/May haha)
