When it comes to looking inconspicuous, dark-colored
saloons generally tend to do the trick, unless they've been configured by
someone who has ticked a few boxes on the options list. Take this BMW 540i for
instance, on display at the German automaker's Abu Dhabi showroom. It's got a
Carbon Black exterior, bolstered by the M Performance Carbon Kit.
The kit itself consists of the custom front spoiler,
the side skirts with decal set, rear skirt with carbon fiber diffuser, carbon
fiber mirror covers & boot lid spoiler, plus the M Performance exhaust
system. Finally, rounding everything off is a set of Orbit Gray 20"
wheels.
With a subtle, yet sporty exterior such as this,
you'd assume the cabin to sport carbon fiber bits. However, that is not
the case at all, as this 540i is nothing if not elegant with all that leather
and wood - the latter being used on the center console, upper dashboard and
door panels.
As for what makes this car tick, it's the 340 PS and 450 Nm of torque underneath its bonnet. In a straight
line, it will hit 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds, with power being sent to
its rear wheels.
