I got to drive the new Q45 and the 540i at the Cali speedway. I'll explain later, but the 540 was very solid, but other than that, sucked fat, $^#@ compared to my TL. Ultimate Driving Machine my a$$.

please discuss. hehe...

Interesting. What didn't you like about it?

 

hum..... AC where are you?

 

That's what I would like to know. Besides the fact that it's not as fuel efficent, how does it suck compared to your TL?

Had a '99 TL w/Navigation system,factory chrome wheels,kit,deck spoiler, burlwood shift knob and V-1 radar detector before it was totalled due to flood damage.

Now I have a '01 BMW X5

19" Mille Miglia Evo 255/50 front 285/45 rear.

 

Is it April 1 already?

 

most likely!

 

I agree, I think you have to own one to know. One of my favorite things about the 540i is the torque on demand. You have it all the time and at any gear and speed. For example, if you're going 75 and gun it on the TL, you might get another 10mph out of it vs. the 540i you'll get all the way up to 110 or so and 4th is still powerful. Granted is a V8. However, I guess I can sort of see Bobatimez point. The TL is a smoother and quieter car overall IMO.

 

Looks like you guys are taking this post as serious as I did early. It's obvious an April fools joke.

I have both a 1999 TL and a 2000 540i and there is no difference. The BMW, other than not being as fuel efficient is a far superior car. Granted its almost twice the price of a TL though. You do get what you pay for though.
