The color combination.. silver grey and beige... is the one I am leaning towards as I "stress" through the research.? What drew you to the beige?? I assume you are satisfied with your choice.? The black interior is perhaps better coordinated, but the beige just looks so elegant.
BTW, thanks for the posts and information from all of the members.? I feel more informed each day after checking back in this forum.

We're launching the next XM satellite in the next few days.? How come BMW doesn't offer XM??? Hope this doesn't interfere with paying for my ED car 15 days prior to delivery!!!!!!

Congratulations on the new car!? That color combination looks real clean, the beige interior brightens the grey exterior IMHO.? Looking forward to doing an ED on March 24 for my own 545i and experiencing the smile thing too.For anyone who is interested, right now I'm on a 660 foot boat in the Pacific Ocean on the equator below Hawaii, preparing to launch a rocket.?

It was a bullseye as far as orbital parameters are concerned. We've been stuck here at the launch site for 12 days and have just left for homeport in Long Beach. I'll get home in time to pay for the car, (salesman was cool, said a few days late was no problem), and then off to Munich on the 21st. Pickup on the 24th. I'm getting excited, but boy has the price of excitement gone up over the years.[/quote]
