My Ride: Arrived 3 June 2005: 2005 545i - Orient Blue, Black interior, Sport, Steptronic, Cold Weather, NAV, Sirius, Logic7, Comfort Seats, Sunshades. What a glorious ride!
I decided to order a 545 now rather than wait for the 550 in September. Reason: I can get the car sooner, and I save a bundle on the lease rate. Money factor of .001 on the 2005 e60 amounts to a loan at 2.4 % interest, hard to pass up. I'm doing this as a reverse purchase - plan to buy the car in 3 years and am financing the depreciation.
My vehicle: Orient Blue, Black interior, sport, Steptronic, Cold Weather, NAV, Sirius, Logic7, Comfort Seats, Sunshades.
Now the 2-month wait begins!
Thanks to all e60 Forum members who encourage yokels like me who aspire to e60 ownership!

what made you decide on the sunshades? i didn't order them, but maybe i can add them as BMW seems to be in no hurry scheduling my car for production. i have been on the fence

BTW I had decided on Titanium Gray till wifey "chose" Orient Blue for me. In honor of our Duke-graduate daughter, no doubt.
