and as a first review ... it drives quite a bit different!
the steering is much softer, does NOT require as much ... force to turn, it does not feel to be slowing down like the previous one did. not sure if there was something wrong that i was unaware of, however the '06 feels 100% different in steering & deceleration (NOT brakeing).
I also enjoy the 6 speed quite alot - very solid, however easy feel - EXEPT reverse. what a PITA to get the ger into R sometimes.

My Ride: 2005 545i with everything
Love it!!
I have been really happy with my Titanium silver-- it really looks beautiful and stays clean. It looks like highly finished raw steel IMO.
How do you like those ventilated seats? I was kicking myself for not getting them today as it hit 113 degrees here in Fresno.
Nice job

I love the Titanium Silver. it doesn't hide dirt as well as my Silver Gray, HOWEVER when clean, and in the sun it almost looks like its a WHITE silver - very beautiful color.
