My Ride: 05 545i, Jet Black, Black Leather, Black Anthracite. Sport Pkg, HUD, NAV, 20-way Comfort Seats, Prem Snd Pkg Logic7, Htd Rear Seats, Rear side impact, Cold Weather Pkg, Fold Down Rear Seat/Ski bag, Soon 2B chromed rims. Picked up in Munich, Drove it to Prague, Vienna, Salburg & Bremerhaven. Put on 1300 miles. Enjoyed driving it 140mph on Autobahn (4,400 rpm).
Got mine late night on the 16th. Yee-Ha, after a 10/20 drop-off. The dealorship filled it up with gas, but I swear they must have used the cheap sh%t gas, cause it doesn't seem to have quite the zip it had in Europe & there is a very faint bit of knock at startup, so I think I'm gonna try to infuse some 106 racing fuel to see if that will bring the life back. Other than that, what a great car. There has been much skuttlebutt regarding the RFT's lately, so I think I might consider some different tires/rims in the near future if find the noise disturbing. As for now, it's shear driving bliss!!! 
Pictures soon to follow, too much fun driving.

Better make sure its unleaded, the highest unleaded available in Cal is 101 Octane. Anthing higher than that is for aviation. and Aviation fuels are leaded gas I understand.
