2024 BMW 540i xDrive M Sport: Start Up, Exhaust, Test Drive, Walkaround, POV and Review

- 👋 In todays review I drive the all new 2024 BMW 5 series! This is a super comfortable luxury sedan with many features! The 2024 BMW 540i xDrive is finished off in a very popular BMW color called Brooklyn Grey! I love how nice the suspension handles and performs. It's a quick car, not loud by any means, but that's not its purpose. It would be a great daily driver, it offers a lot of space on the interior whether you have people or storage. The rear seats are a bit on the tight side, but still work and of course you can always upgrade to the seven series if you really need more space and it is more comfortable than the three series space! The exterior on this 2024 BMW 540i has a great look with crisp lines and the color is one of my favorite on this vehicle! This is pretty much fully loaded and even has the M sport and M sport pro package which provides the wheels, brakes, suspension and steering and it has a great amount of technology and an easy layout with the latest infotainment system from BMW! It has a minimal amount of buttons which makes it easy to use, and the materials on the interior are very nice! I love the wood trim and brushed aluminum, it makes it have an elegant design and look. The driving performance is great and I love the different modes from Eco pro if you want great MPG or Sport to have some spirited driving!

Thank you for being probably the first TH-camr to review this model!!!
No problem 👍
hes not the first
@@julianesquivel6159 not many 540i reviews out there.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed BTW, Did you notice a bump in performance in the 2024 model (375 hp) compared to the old G30 (335 hp)?
@@naurnah98 I haven’t driven the previous gen in a long time, if I had driven them back to back, maybe.
Drove one this weekend, and it was an amazing ride🔥
Great to hear!
Superb as ever. Love the channel ❤️
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you so much for your reviews!! youre the best ❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you like them!!
I can always count on bros FOUR Speed to provide the first review for new models. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Lovely review 👏👏👏
Thanks! Nice car to check out!
Great review! Not sure why there aren’t many reviews of the 2024 540 out there, it’s been out for a few months now. There are plenty of 530 and electric reviews. I’m waiting for the 550e version, coming out in spring which is gonna have the same power train as the X5 50e. 483 hp and probably .5 seconds quicker then the 540 and have about 40 miles ev range for around town. Please review that one, the 550e when it hits dealers!
I am not a EV fan so for me this one is the one to get in the new 5 series. Great review as always!
💯
Good choice! I'm not a fan of them either!
It's a cool bmw!
im interested to see the g90 m5 i really hope it can improve on this. I dont think these 5 series are that bad but they are just too big IMO. and the new E class blows it out the water. and im not even a merc fan.
@@ibrahimelmi210 I admit the MB looks cleaner. I really love the new E53 AMG Wagon. Just saw photos....amazing....hope it comes to the USA.
Gotta say, I love the front!
Me too! Looks super cool!
Got the same color but red interior looking amazing but i only got the m package and illuminated grille i feel the front look better this way rather the full blacked grille but i regretted not getting one with the premium package not sure also if the m package pro make any difference in performance?
Was the thigh support manually operated?
Great review! You mentioned no massaging seats, is that because BMW discontinued them in the 5 Series?
Maybe its because there would one less reason to buy a 7-series then. or to make more of a difference between 5 and 7-series.
Great review! Sadly, the U.S. market does not get the comfort seats, thus the headrests, the front seat leg extenders, and the back seat half-fold are manual instead of power. The U.S. market also doesn't get the Integral Active Steering, 4-wheel steering, and anti-roll stabilizer. We also don't get the Digital 4-Zone Rear Climate Control, M Style Seat belts, and front massage seats. Lastly, it is truly disappointing that BMW decided to get rid of the door sills. I enjoyed the door sills, especially the illuminated ones. Come of BMW, even the Honda Accord has them. In my opinion, the BMW has gone cheap, we get less, but pay a lot more. Cheap plastic door panels, hard dashboards, cheap plastic window switches, and no Matrix LED lights.
Yeah you are right but whole Europe does not get the 540i at all. That‘s much worse than some of the missing options.
@@markus8484 It is not always about which engine you get. In the U.S., they are charging a lot for a car with much fewer options or standard features. Numbers don’t lie, especially when you do the math, you realize the U.S. market is getting robbed.
@@user-gy7cy2it4p sorry but actually the opposite is the truth. Okay maybe in the G60 series you get less options availible (that could change tho) but in Germany you always get bone empty base cars from BMW in the base. You always have to pay for options (example electric seat control). The US always got much better optioned cars in base trim. In the past and now as well.
I don’t know man… I’m still not feeling the new look… just don’t look good to me
What changes would you make to this?
G30 all day
I waited till I was able to spec out the G60 540 before I decided on the G80 M3c. It end up being just few grand’s difference for the way I want to spec it. Also after having two 5 series in a row it was time to get something smaller again.
Oh nice. The G80 M3 is a great car! I'd go that route too!
First review I've found of 2024 540i , thanks for this. A bit disappointed that BMW didn't offer some additional luxury features on this model over the 530i. Also, the lack of rear climate controls (like the European models) is a bit hard to swallow at this price point. Good job on the review!
if you configure your own, its an option you can configure.
@@terminator8811 Sadly, it’s not an option in the US configuration 😕
@@ToddRGuy I ordered a custom 540xi and was able to get it included. BMWUSA has to approve the modification
@@terminator8811 Thanks for this information! I’m going to order as well. How much did the addition cost?
@@ToddRGuy $650
I can't wait to buy this new BMW sedan soon.
A pickle jar is going to explain the reason why the Chromebook’s is a book waaaaaaa
Keep working hard towards it!
Thanks for checking out this BMW review!
Something about these new accords 😍
lol this looks a lot different than a Honda
@@BrosFOURRSpeedyeah I’m just trolling lol . That b58 no joke 🤣 IYKYK
Yeah hopefully a new M5 comes out soon or the M550. Would be sweet to see what the even more powerful engines have to offer!
I have generally preferred the appearance of most BMW models with the M-sport package, but for the new 5 series the opposite is true. That huge black underbite grill is such a weird feature, it looks terrible. The standard 540 front end looks much cleaner. It also comes with 19 inch wheels which is too big in my opinion, 18 is the ideal size for a few reasons. 20 is bordering on ridiculous. I also prefer the chrome grill surrounds, as the blacked out trim makes the already too big grill look even bigger. BMW's design department has really gone off the deep end. I understand they want to go in a new direction, and appeal more to the Chinese market, but most of the new designs are mediocre at best, an abomination at the worst.
Thanks for sharing! Everyone will have a different perspective on it!
In person this looks quite good to me and definitely the interior quality feels more premium than the mercedes e class
I agree! Really nice car overall!
Does this not have the new b58tu3 with the port injection ?
Not too sure
Interior camera can be used to take selfies but it's main useage is as a security/monitor cam you can access on the app.
What? What camera are you talking about?
@@BrosFOURRSpeedThe camera by the dome light.
@@omerta2002 how would you use that to take a pic? I don’t think anyone is doing that with it.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Menu, interior camera. You'll see the overhead feed of you in the car, then you can choose either smile, in which it will take a pic when you look up & smile, or a 3 sec selfie. If you then hit settings option on the left hand side, you'll find an option to make a shortcut to the feature which is long holding the parking view button.
@@omerta2002 interesting.
This looks really good. It looks way better the counter audi and mercedes offerings. Also that 0-60 in 4.4 sec we all know is probably alot faster then that with how bmw works 😂
I hope you’re being facetious.. as a E91 BMW owner, I’d take an Audi A6 over this any day!
@@JRB41stfu no you won’t lmao and yet here you are watching. This video and commenting about a BMW THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE, Audi is nowhere near as perfect as the M- Power!! Sit down son!!! 🤣🤣😂😂
@@kobekiko475 You seem about 12 years old, but sure! The BMW’s of late are nowhere near the quality or the driving standards that they were 10+ years ago
@@kobekiko475bro this isn’t a m car lol
Damn no exhaust outlets has the ev rear 😢
Yeah nothing fancy on the 540
Bmw has destroyed such a beautiful master piece. It looks like every other sedan on the road. I’m so glad I got the last good looking 5series with the g30
What other sedan looks like this?
Wow ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Cool new 5 series!
The car looks so nice. People just hate on every modern car just because they can’t afford it.
So true! And in 5 years when a new one comes out. Those same people will say how they loved the old version lol
Quick question does not the back seat/doors have no ambient lighting?? Or I’m I tripping lol this is crazy if only the front has ambient lighting and the back is left stranded this is ridiculous if it’s true 😂🤦♂️🤦♂️
Back seats does not have an ambient lightning.
2024 BMW 540i xDrive M Sport Shadowline Package Sedan!
Went to BMW today, wanted a 24’ 540i m sport, kinda pressed into a slightly more expensive i5 edrive 40 loaded for even less than the 540i (in a lease of course) , wanted to buy outright, but dealer kept pushing for a very reasonable number of 750 including tax for 36 months 6k down LEASE even though they can not match it for 540i which is 3k less at 72k ..seems like dealer is really trying to lease the I5? Also cross shopping for a comparable (numbers for 36 month lease) Volvo S60 recharge..my daily commute is less then 45 miles which is supposed to make my entire commute barely touching gas.. Thoughts anyone? Thank u in advance..
They have $ incentives by bmw corporate to move the electric models
Same engine as m340 right? I guess most people would still opt for the m340 because it’s “sportier”.
I also heard that the exhaust is not as loud on the 5 series as the 3 series or 8 series.
I went with the 540 over m340 for the increased seating comfort for long trips.
It is, just different power numbers! I'd go M340, but depends on the size you want.
Both are great options!
They are both plenty powerful just depends if u want more comfort or a more sporty feel
same block... m340 has 382BHP, 540 has 375.
Cool to see. Definitely some improvements over the 4 series for sure! but at the same time I do not like the ugly kidney grille design in the front. It looks very blocky and gives it a bull like appearance. I prefer the 3 series and 4 series looks over the 5 series for this gen at least.
Maybe the extra gloss black in the lower bumper throws it off some, but it's a look that's been growing on me!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed M440i next plz?
@@aryansaple7865 if the dealer gets one!
u can put the m exhausts on this car correct?
I believe so with the m sport package!
First BMW with a spare tire
Yeah we don't see many new cars with them!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Spare tires for BMWs have been around for awhile if you optioned for non runflat tires. Most models are being produced without option for runflats these days - hence you get a spare..
I've driven one myself and a few points I disagree with... the visibility is not that great, it's adequate, but it's not great - B pillars are rather thick. Because the car is now taller (due to the fact that the same body is used for both EV and ICE cars, ICE cars have several inches of height added to the bottom of the vehicle to house the battery, which ICE cars obviously don't have) the seating position is very different from what it used to be like, it almost, not quite, but almost like an SUV in that regard, really takes getting used to.
All in all: really capable chassis, great engine/transmission combo, but geared more towards comfort rather than driving pleasure
Do you mind sharing how was the turbo lag with the new mild hybrid setup ? Any improvements you felt over the previous G30 generation?
@@dhruvgarg2737 absolutely, friend, lag minimal if any, especially compared to audi's 2.9 V6 (the one on s6/rs5). Engine is also smoother than mercs M256 (e53 AMG). Don't expect there to be truck loads of torque as with good old N63, though . Shame they dropped the V8...
@kirrus17 thanks for the quick response ! This is great to know :) Agreed N63 is a different animal and perhaps will need to wait for the M5 for that one. I ordered this one without a test drive ( no unit available in my location ), but I currently own the M340i ( same B58 motor )so figured this to be a safe bet.
@@dhruvgarg2737 I'm rly curious about the M5, it will be an interesting beast. After having driven a V8, I feel like rly need that in my life now XD
@@kirrus17yeah me too, we'll find out by the end of the year. Will be a sub 3 sec 0-60 time for sure. Some say the extra weight of the batteries will compromise handling but I do think BMW won't get this one wrong.
Could they put more plastic on it?
Could you be even more gayer? 😂😂
The plastic is Trans level gay.
it’s so sad what they did to the redesign of this car. The taillights look like a camry
You know what the front and the side is nice! But the rear… ugh what were they thinking
Not everyones taste. Might grow on you
@@japanwatchconnection we get you don’t like it, but plenty of people do.
I love the 24 540i m sport and it will be my next BMW within a year from now but the high gloss black plastic has got to go. OMG I can't believe BMW went that rout. It now looks like a KIA.
this can become such a beauty if you lower it and get few after market parts when they come out
Yeah I bet this would look cool modified!
Last year looks better
In what ways?
What M5 bro? I'm pretty sure BMW doesn't offer a current year M5
They don’t offer one for 2024, but you can still buy one.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ya, it's so disappointing. Hopefully one will be released soon. Thanks for the video!
@@3rinibwai Possibly for 2025!
is this gas or electric
Gas. I showed the whole engine in the video and talked about MPG ;)
Nice review... What the fuck is that camera facing the interior, though?? 👀
What camera?
Not really sold. Would rather wait for the 2025 Audi S5
Would be a great option too!
Almost Kia noise like grille…..I don’t kno abt this one
I've notice people saying that. In person this looks really good tho and way nicer
This car would look so much better as a hatchback and more spacious
Finally the 5 series has in interior as good as Mercedes the g30 interior was absolutely terrible imo exterior was awesome though
For real! It's a really nice car overall
Only thing's i wished they did better is the Hitler '-tache like radar sensor which moves the front camera off to the right hand side of the grille......couldn't that be kept on the upper middle section of the grille,🤔🤔
The camera is right in the middle of the grill though.
@@BrosFOURRSpeedIt's off centre though it should be on the septum(if you imagine the grille as nostrils) it's better integrated on the 3er, and apologies on saying it's was off to the right, rather than the left as seen in the vid, I forgot you guys have the steering wheel on the wrong side 😉
@@omerta2002 the forward facing camera on the front? It’s right in the middle.. steering wheel doesn’t effect that 😁
@@BrosFOURRSpeedThe split in between the left & ride hand side of the grille is the centre.
@@omerta2002 yup, that’s where the camera is..
It is an absolute travesty BMW does not offer the 540i in Europe, not even the 530... :(
That's crazy!
You can have the 550e with the same b58 engine but it’s hybrid.
The engine is a little less powerful but the electric motor means that in the end it still makes 490 hp ! And both do the same time at 0-100 km/h (or 0-60 mph)
But unfortunately there is only one video of this car on TH-cam and we don't see the performances
@@nicolasvincent74 simple, not everyone wants EV or Hybrid. The battery is a huge downside in my opinion, and a very expensive single point of failure
dont get me wrong but I am here for the exhaust sound (sadly in Germany the communists and socialists aren't allowing us to have the diesel or gas version)
That black gloss is trash looks cheap, cars are getting cheaper yet more expensive.
I honestly like it. But I can see that in some ways
Huge regress in both design and interior quality/usability. Looks and feels much cheaper, but costs more. It is not a secret BMW is reducing cost of production to increase profit margins
What source did you get that info from?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed My comments are getting deleted, probably because of the link. Please try to google for "BMW to cut production cost per vehicle by 25%" on Automaker from 2021, it's an official comment from their board member. All changes are presented as a progress, but in reality it's a shameless costs cutting. Cheaper plastics, removal of convenience/luxury standard options, seats have less settings, etc.
Interesting, well take a look! But in person the new 5 series seems a lot nicer then the old one
@@japanwatchconnection cool, interesting one design did that. I love the brand.
Who's designing the exterior. Interior is cool but wow... that is ugly. Looks like a pseudo-Mercedes type car
BMW is definitely trying new things. But in person this looks pretty cool
New e class is way better and im a beamer man smh
I’d go with the bmw, way nicer imo.
same. this is just too big and ugly. its a tragedy
The ultimate driving machine, where you just sit, push a lot of screen buttons and kind of steer. 😅
I’m the proud owner a 2011 BMW 328i xDrive Sport Wagon, last N/A 6 cylinder BMW ever made, I have the 6 speed manual too. My next car will be a Porsche, as no matter how you look at it the new BMW’s are not built to the standard they were 15 years ago. Horrible job BMW! I’m sticking to Porsche and Audi from now on
Interesting since they are way better in every was compared to 15 years ago. But enjoy your next ride.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed They don’t sound as good, they don’t look as good, and they don’t handle as good. So no, they’re not better in every way.. only better in tech, which I don’t use as it’s distracting. I guess reliability might be better, but these cars are too new to tell
@@JRB41 This particular bmw might not sound as good, but the M cars do. Looks are subjective as I love the new look and handling is spot on. They handle incredibly well.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I remember when all BMW’s base engine was a N/A inline 6 cylinder, that sounded much better than this - most people buying BMW’s are not buying the M models, they’re buying this, making your statement pretty much irrelevant.. looks are subjective, but I don’t think anybody disagrees that the E39 is MUCH better looking than this, so is the handling - Motor trend, car and driver, and myself + many many other enthusiasts agree, end of story!
@@JRB41 I would disagree, not a fan of the older model bmws, so you can’t make that accusation that everyone likes it more.
Buy the model you like and enjoy it, and let others do the same. Everyone has different preferences and tastes..
Entire car feels cheap in a video
Id disagree for sure.
I just got one, and can attest that it’s very premium and expensive feeling once you’re in it. Lol Way better than the previous generation
@@CappCreative Very true!
I had the G30 as well and believe the interior was superior looking to this. Moved to Audi but thinking about coming home! 😢 This car looks fine in my opinion..
Wish they moved to hatchback styling
Such a boring spec on this example.
Looks ugly. Looks likea Crossover now g30 was much nicer.
It looks like crap. Not even expensive crap.
Why?
Absolutely ugly just like new 7 series
Not everyones taste. Audi and Mercedes cars still look pretty normal. But in person the new 5 series does look cool
@@japanwatchconnection I like it, again, not everyone’s taste.
@@japanwatchconnection everyone can have their opinion, these cars still sell to people who will enjoy them.
Nice car but it looks absolutely ugly
In person it's pretty cool tho
This is ugly af G30 is the best 5 series there is for sure
The design could grow on you. Looks super good in person and is a huge update from the previous year
huge update ? its made out of cheap plastic now @@BrosFOURRSpeed
Previous generation is much nicer!

Could not agree more.
