Unhappy

Well I got the call today that BMWNA is buying my 2004 545i back. Over the course of the last year it has been in the service dep. for over 30 days!!!! So within the next two weeks they are cutting me a check. Not sure what I am going to do now. I really love the car but I have too many issues with it. I am either thinking of getting a 650ci or maybe a 550i. What do you guys think I should get?

If you need the rear seats - 550, else 650!

I personally prefer the coupe to the ci.

I agree with BMW#5. If price is not a serious consideration, as you imply, then it depends on your needs/preferences--especially # of doors, spaciousness of rear seat and area, storage, and appearance. I wanted the 545i doors, seats, and storage. Both are great looking, but I prefer the looks of the 650 slightly, and its a tad lighter. Actually, I am not sure if the 550 storage is greater than the 650. When I purchased my 545, I was under the impression it was greater in storage, but I can't remember why.

I'd say 645! If you don't have to haul around rugrats, 645 is only way to go!!

Thanks for the replies!!! Well since I am only 23 years old and don't have any kids (thank god for that) I am really leaning towards the 6 series.
