I actually took mine to the dealer, and they said they would update the system. It’s been better since then! Might be worth a try!
I’ve heard debates about the 540i’s reliability, and although I think it’s generally solid, I do think they could improve the electronics. Just my two cents!
Right? It’s like having a sports car with a sour punchbowl for electronics. But hey, at least the cup holder is nice!
I’ve had my 2021 BMW 540i for about a year now, and reliability-wise, it’s been great! No major issues so far, and the handling is superb compared to other luxury sedans like the Audi A6.
That sounds promising! How does it compare to the Mercedes E-Class? I’ve heard mixed reviews about its reliability.
The BMW 540i is definitely more reliable than the older models, but it’s not without its quirks. I’ve seen friends having trouble with sensors that can be a little glitchy. Still, overall it performs well.

That’s interesting! I’ve had my eye on the Genesis G80 as an alternative. Any thoughts on how it stacks up against the BMW?
The Genesis G80 has received rave reviews for its reliability, and many say it offers similar luxury without the BMW’s maintenance costs. However, the driving experience might not be as engaging.
I think it’s a great time to compare these luxury sedans! Both the BMW and Genesis offer unique features that cater to different preferences. I’m curious how the 540i’s tech holds up in reliability compared to the G80.

Great point! The tech in the BMW is definitely a highlight, though any reliability concerns can overshadow that. Has anyone done long road trips with the 540i?
I took a road trip last summer, and it was a dream. However, it’s hard to ignore the high maintenance costs sometimes. Still, if you love driving, it’s worth it! Just have a mechanic on speed dial!
Haha! That’s the luxury car life for you! Does anyone think the Lexus GS could be a good alternative to the 540i?
The Lexus GS is known for its reliability, and if you’re looking for a smoother ride, it might be the way to go! It lacks some of the sportiness of the 540i, though. More like a comfortable couch on wheels, haha!
