Hey guys, in my search for an e60, I found a black one this weekend and I know it belongs to a member here. Here are some of it's options:

1) www.e60.net decals on both rear side windows.

2) M-Sport rear bumper, stock side skirts and front bumper

3) black w/ black interior

4) Sport & premium packages

5) Navi, heads up display, etc







There are a couple issues with the car, and I'd love to know more info on it from the previous owner; unfortunately it's at a broker.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Yeah, oddly it's the sport rear bumper only. Somewhere I have a pic of the rear, I'll have to download it off my camera.

One thing I noticed is that the car has parking sensors on the rear bumper but not on the front. I suspect the front bumper was replaced at some time, although carfax shows nothing.

4) Sport & premium packages

Wheels on the car are from a non sport 545i so make sure you check to see if it indeed has sport pkg.

Yeah, I noticed the wheels also. However it did have the matte black window trim, and the car did sit slightly lower than I figured it would. My guess is these were the winter wheels/tires the previous owner had. It also didn't have the tire pressure sensors so it had the "flat tire" warning light on the iDrive.

As far as me and the car, I didn't buy it but I may do so if everything checks out. I just sold my 745 as it went out of warranty, and that car was a nightmare to maintain.

Does anyone know much about the heads up display? This was the first 545 I've seen with it.

Thanks guys.

I think you are right. In all honesty, I would have done the same thing. It was a nice suprise to see that rear bumper when I was expecting it to be stock.
