    Our most recent review of the 2017 BMW 540i resulted in a score of 7.8 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton had this to say at the time: Not all superheroes wear capes, and we're proud to report the 530e does its bit for green motoring without feeling the need to shout about it. And with no price or specification penalty, it's easier being green than ever before, and the pricing of this BMW really puts the cat amongst the canaries.
