I purchased a 2004 545i with auto and sport package this evening. Great car, pleasently surprised regarding the performance, even with the automatic. DS helps...
I sold my Evolution in June and bought an 02 m3 conv for the wife. I inherited her 03 E320, beautiful car but I was struggling with the DD experience. The power, performance and aggressive styling of the 5 will go a long way in adding fun to the commute.
I'm glad to be here, looking forward to learning about the e60s.

, investigation needed.Then Sprint Booster, intake and exhaust. 50% tint as the car is blk/blk and its a legal config here in MN. Lip spoiler and its front-end counter-part. M5 rims or...Time attacks! Seriously, I need snows before it flies, that should be first...

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your 545 
I see you bought your car from Sears...Where are you located in MN?
I'm in the midst of trying to plan a Midwest Meet and Greet & we would love to see you there! Be sure to vote for MPLS as the location for the meet or I'm going to have to drive to Chicago!

I live in the rural western suburbs of MPLS, it's my 6th car I've purchased from Sears. I already voted for MPLS for the gathering location, can't say that I can make it to chicago at this point. I'll be at cars and coffee in August, let me know if you need info on that gathering.
Again, thanks for all the kind words, i can't be more happier with the car and this forum....
