My Ride: 2005 545i with everything
I just picked up new ride 2 days ago!
E60 2005 Titanium Silver/black/anthracite 545i
steptronic
sport pkg
navigation
premium sound
cold weather pkg
I love it! It replaces my 2003 325i, wow what a power difference.
A couple things that annoy me-- the seatbelt warning chime won't shut up if I am making a short trip without my seatbelt on
(any suggestions?). Also I'm surprised how stiff the ride is-- I guess that's the good and bad of the sport package.The stereo is AWESOME.

Welcome and Cograts. I'm sure you'll love it. For the seat belt, you should wear it but you can go to the junk yard and buy a loose buckle, or you can follow the instructions somewhere on this site on how to wire past it.

And thanks for the tip, I just took your advice and ordered the reflectors. I thought those back slots looked kind of odd, I couldn't figure out what they were supposed to be

[/quote]I'm not a big 'modder' but now that it has been pointed out to me, the red reflectors look 'right'.
The only mod I did on my previous car (2003 325i) was remove the front plate mount and replace with the euro bumper insert, and the ipod adapter.
