Well, what a day.. started at the dealer at about 9:30 AM, left around 5PM with...

2004 545i

Black/Black

sport pkg
Navigation
PDC
Heads-Up Display
Rear Shades

they did not have any comfort seats available, so.... get a load of this idea...I go to a well known upholstery shop locally, and have them trim down the leg bolsters.. other than that the seat is fine. However, on the ride Home, noticed the seat doesn't go up enough.. anyon else notice this?

Well - wish me luck.. so far, the sport pkg is not near rough a ride as I expected it to be. Active Steering will be perfected in a day or so.

thanks everyone for your help. I'll be around a while!

Congrats on your new purchase

Please check the tire pressure...if you dont find the sport pac firm.

When I got my car from the dealer, I thought the ride was quite comfortable but the next day I checked the tire pressure, it had 26psi in the front and 30psi at the back. After I raised the pressure to spec, it's a much firmer ride.

Enjoy your new toy

Just so you know, it's a "head up" display, not heads up, that's what you yell when you are throwing a ball to someone who is not paying attention.

What transmission did you get?

I like the color, is it sapphire or jet black?

Enjoy the new ride!

Head Up - sorry!

it is Jet Black, they had same car in Sapphire, and that wa my # 1 choice, but the car had a $1300 addendum, and when we looked into it, it was from body damage, so.... ta ta to that one!
