The center console is not so hard to figure out as the steering wheel controls, but being composed of brittle plastic didn't assuage our concerns. Cupholders are never high on our list of important amenities, but in the case of the 540i, the cupholders look and feel extremely fragile. Still, the trunk will carry three golf bags, and BMW is nice enough to provide a diagram for how this is accomplished. But the 540i is about the driving experience, not the luxury features. It's the best toys that count.
Controls are hard to decipher.
