I have a now oldish G31 530d x drive on 82000 miles. I do like it - it is fast (having been re mapped) and a great long distance and winter spacious hack. More than anything I’ve got itchy feet and am wondering about a change more for the sake of mitt ham anything else and at the back of my mind is that I should have bought a 540i instead as it might have been a little less boring. I hate the new 5 series. So my question is (again!) is that will a change to a late model g31 540i be a huge improvement in driving pleasure? I’ve had a b58 before in an M140i before I had an M2C and an X3M. I have a 981 Spyder for summer and a late model (2015) ‘classic’ defender 110 for hauling stuff (bikes, kids, too, trailers) around. So - will I love the 540i x drive touring in a way that I just ‘appreciate’ the 530d?
