540i vs A7
Curious if anyone drove the new 540i or 530i yet? I drove both and felt the 540i had more acceleration. However I think I was in comfort mode in the a7.

No I have a sports package Audi A7 and we have stiffer suspension but its NOT adaptable here in the USA. Only the S7 has adaptable suspension. Honestly I am very dissapotined in the new 5. VERY BORING and bland and drives a bit NUMB like my older 2012 BMW 5. I have no regards for it. I love how more solid, heavier, more faster, and more better handling the A7 is compared to the 5. Heck the car steering is heavier in sports mode and on performance michelins than the 5 on all season run crap tires. Also the A7 looks worlds better than the same OLD 5.

I have not driven the new 540 yet but hope to soon. I actually have some interest in the car. I came from a 2012 550 before my A7. They both have tradeoffs. Unless Audi addresses some of the tradeoffs I'm not married to Audi long term. But I also said the same thing about BMW after the 550.
Point being I will consider another 5 series if I stay in this class of car. I have a great relationship with a BMW dealer near me. He just has not had a 540 yet that was not sold on arrival.
