So are you getting another 540i? After a 3-series and two 5-series, I actually want to go back to a smaller car. I might just order a loaded 330i if the M340i numbers are crazy. As you state, there is little opportunity to enjoy the extra power in Florida, and FHP is more aggressive than ever. I also enjoy the lighter feel of the 330i, the classic BMW grill, and the 40 MPG highway economy I experienced in a rental.
I'm probably getting any other 540i but the LCI. I grew up driving cars like the E36, E34, E39 and the G30 is the first 5-series after the E39 that gives me more of a nostalgic feel for what I remember how an E39 felt refined in terms of solidness, ride quality, handling, quietness. Etc

I truly enjoy the G30 and I'd like to enjoy it for another 3 years before they go out of production. Plus the design of the G30 has more of the traditional BMW styling cues that reminds me more of the classic BMW designs, for example. The Hofmeister kink, side character line running through the door handles, the long hood with the flatter looking kidney grills and the round BMW Halo headlights.
