Comfort
The BMW 540 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Kia Stinger with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the BMW 540 and the Kia Stinger in the front seats.
Convenience
With the BMW 540 you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Kia Stinger, due to its larger tank size and better fuel economy.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The BMW 540 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Stinger, which has a much lower MSRP.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. In this case, the BMW 540 will cost less to deliver to the dealership than the Kia Stinger.
Dimensions
The BMW 540 is about the same width as the Kia Stinger.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW 540, which is slightly longer than the Kia Stinger.
Handling
The BMW 540 has a larger turning radius than the Kia Stinger, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
The BMW 540 has less horsepower than the Kia Stinger, so it will probably be somewhat slower.
Powertrain
With its lower torque, the BMW 540 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Kia Stinger.
Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW 540 and the Kia Stinger.
The BMW 540 has significantly less cargo room than the Kia Stinger, which may be a concern if you do a lot of warehouse shopping.
Warranty
The basic warranty of the BMW 540 is not as nearly as extensive as that of the Kia Stinger.
