The 540 is a minority car after all.

As one of the top-selling high-end cars, the BMW 5-Series has sold more than 10,000 units almost every month in recent years, as if it were a street car on the road. However, the name of the street car seems to have always been the exclusive name of brilliance BMW 525Li and 530LI. It seems unattractive to buy short wheelbase 525i and 530i with less import space at a similar price in the eyes of the Chinese people.

But my friend, who spent a higher price than a BMW 730LI, bought a 540I with a smaller wheelbase space, which seems even more unreasonable? It is doomed that people who do not understand cars look mediocre on the outside. Isn't this just a BMW 5-Series streetcar? But he does not understand that he has a 3.0T inline six-cylinder B58 heart that acts as a pig and eats a tiger. today, when the 95 oil price has passed 10 yuan, there is no special feeling, no demand for emission power, it is a burden. Do not understand other people, pay close to 800000 price to buy it, there is no reason, I am afraid it is crazy. People who understand it may yell, wow, this is a 540I. The charm of this car is destined to belong to a minority. Regardless of how it is evaluated by the outside world, it is destined to be understood by those who understand it.

Seems to be no different from 525LI in appearance? Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?

It seems that at first glance, it is no different from the 525LI, which is almost half the price.
But take a closer look.
Black medium net, bigger hub
Unique purple car paint
If you don't know anything about cars, you look a little different.

It's a pity that this car doesn't have a blue laser headlamp.
It may not be useful, but it is a symbol of match, a symbol of high sense.

Active intake grille with different opening and closing angles at different temperatures
To control the temperature of the engine

The original factory engraved with M font 6-piston motion calipers, larger brake disc
Only 540 have it.
I have to say that the foot feeling of the brakes is very good.

Open the engine compartment, not as empty as the 4-cylinder engine, the embedding of the 6-cylinder engine makes the engine cabin fuller. As the cheapest B58 model, it is very attractive in the eyes of boys. 340 horsepower, 450 Nm. I think the biggest difference with 525530 lies in strength and smoothness. Normally driving on the road, although the 2.0T machine is fully powered, the thick feeling of the engine sound, the power reserve when overtaking, and the smooth texture at low speed are incomparable to the 2.0T machine. With an official acceleration of 5.2 seconds, it is possible to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger on the daily road. This is also the essence of 540.

The parking space looks more ordinary, with no four-out exhaust pipe.
It's almost the same as other models.
The only difference is the 540i fonts.

In fact, if you look carefully, the 5-series body with the standard axis is more coordinated than the one with the long shaft.

Although it is the emission of China 6B
But the exhaust valve opens in motion mode.
It's still going to go off.

The advanced sense of white interior decoration arises spontaneously.

I have always thought that putting Bai Nei in any car has a very advanced sense.
Yes, Bai Nai is only qualified for 540I.
The leather is very good, and the interior atmosphere is also great.

M sports cover steering wheel, feel as always
Do not need any language to modify.
It's almost the existence of a benchmark.

ID7's dashboard is also an old friend of ours.

With all the necessary configurations, the diamond-shaped panel looks younger.

It is surprising that the ventilation of the seat has to be optional.
This is a top matching model with more than 700,000 yuan on the ground.

The familiar area is no different from other models.
Compared with the M5, this piece is simply plain.

There are basically all the convenience and comfort configurations that should be available.

18 seat adjustments can be called a full match.
The white seat with perforated leather feels silky to the touch
The diamond-shaped stitches also look high-end.
It's just that I found out how to adjust it. It's always a little empty at the waist.
And it's hard not to have seats ventilated in summer.

As the top match of a short-axle model.
The equipment of four-wheel drive air conditioner is not uncommon.
It should be.

Summary:
The 540 is not a performance car, it does not have a loud exhaust sound, but it is very easy to drive and has a lot of power. Obviously, it is more of an easy-to-drive family car with good power and sports, and having fun occasionally can satisfy the fun. What I am most satisfied with is the texture of its chassis. After 20 models, that is, the 530LI and 530I before the mid-term modification, I obviously feel that the chassis is thinner and the particles are more fine. The 540i chassis makes me feel thicker, tough but not hard, which is praiseworthy.
Some people say that people who buy 540I will not even take a look at 730LI, while others say that people who buy 730LI will not even take a look at 540I. Savor it carefully, indeed. It's like completely two consumer groups that don't interfere with each other. The 540I is a car that young people do not want to compromise. The charm of the B58 and the short axle is easier to drive and has more personality than the 2.0T long axle 730LI. They don't care about the chicken head and the chicken tail, and they don't care about the performance-to-price ratio, but I am who I am, and I know exactly what I want.
