The car's in great shape, somebody definitely cared for it. Had a complete service history, unlike a lot of the others I looked at which had 20-30k mile gaps in service records. It should keep relatively cool in the summer, being white on white. Definitely not getting skin cancer riding around in this. There's no way the front tint is legal. I may go have it redone at the legal limit because it's hard to see out of.
haha this car will definitely be getting a dollar out of you!
awesome stuff here i'm always excited when someone steps up and goes for the 540 over the basic 530 with its 4 cyl... like a year ago my friend got a 2019 540xi and other than the active kidney grille malfunctioning and tripping the CEL it's been solid, and that B58 is a silky powerhouse with tons of additional potential

Yeah I like the long slung look. The G30 is just right, and will be remembered fondly compared to the G60.

[QUOTE=geko29;11607427]They look like BMW 635 wheels, that a previous owner had chromed:
Congrats on the car, I'm sure you will enjoy it for a long time.[/QUOT
You are correct. I have these 19" wheels on my 2019 G30 5 Series.

I think they look good. You see that aftermarket chroming in markets like Vegas...

I'm not really feeling the chrome, but don't actively hate it. Probably because the spokes are thin, and it ties in with the fender trim.
If it ever did bother you, having them powder coated any color you like would run you around $600. So not the end of the world either way.

I sold the Fusion shortly after buying the truck. It's still in good hands and running strong. Pics below:

There's so much to learn about this car compared to an XLT F-150.....
The auto-start stop disable button is actually persistent in this model. If you push the button to disable the system, it remembers this setting. Newer cars built after March 2018 do not have that luck.
Been mostly driving it in eco-pro mode to see how well it does on gas. Seems to be averaging low 20's around here which is pretty decent. When you put it in sport mode and floor it, it really takes off. I'm loving this inline 6.
