Suprised no one else has commented, your car looks great!

What's the MPG like on a 540i?

Mine was standard when i bought it but as ive found, alot of uprated parts for it are actually cheaper than standard...for example, mine got to 150k miles & i decided to treat it to new shocks and springs, the oem M-Tech kit was £1450, looking around however i ended up with the KW Inox variant 2 coil over kit for £1100.
It does work that way with most things as BMW parts are very over priced, so its easier to modify/uprate when change is needed than keep standard.
