I am 27 an I orded a 545 in early December, they are not cars for old people, they are cars for people with good taste Your wife probably feels that way because most of the people who buy them are older becuase most younger people don't buy cars in that price range.
I also like the M3, but I can't jam a couple clients in the back of an M3 to take them out to dinner. The 545 gives me s a good mixture of performance and comfort. I am 27, and this is my 3rd 5 series.

545I is absolutely right. I'm 33 and a professional with good taste ... flare for the finer things of life. The MUNICH magicians have done a good job at reflecting the persona of those that patronise them .... unlike MB has done. To the BMW owner, his car is his pride, a precision tool that goes about it's business with such dexterity & ease of motion almost spiritual in a sense. A good reflection of his persona.

Good comments from everyone. I am 27, but will be 28 by the time I order. When I was younger, I owned a 3 series. To be honest, I didn't like the look of the old 5 compared to the 3 series. Also, I didn't like the 7s look. The 3 series seemed to be a perfect balance of everything except a little short on luxury. Well the new 5 addresses all of that for me. I have a 6 year old and a 2 month old (who just started to sleep through the night by the way...YEAH!!!!!!) and my wife likes big trucks/SUVs so we have the big family vehicle already, and I am getting the sporty fun family vehicle. It is only a family vehicle when the family is in it. Otherwise, it is a fun car to carry me and my partners through curves and around corners...all in the lap of luxury as I shift seemlessly from 1st to 2nd to 3rd..etc (yeah right). I am looking forward to the order, and I am glad to see some other young professionals on this board ordering the car as well. As for the target market of BMW, the 40 - 45 (don't remember the exact range of the category) is only 1 tally away, so that is still a good market for BMW, but we younger guys have our reasons, and their all good!

I turned 28 six weeks ago, just ordered my 525iSE last week. I think more and more younger people will be seen driving the E60. Can't wait to get mine; I will keep everyone posted.
