My Ride: 2005 BMW 545i, Titanium Silver. Bridgestone 760s on Weds Bavaria II 18" wheels, standard sport pack size. Sport, AT. Latest job - NGK Iridium IX plugs installed.
Check the car throughly and make sure that all the components that should come with a 545i are included. Also be aware that insurance is going to be higher than it was for the truck. Any parts you buy are going to be more expensive. Don't get yourself into something you can't afford to keep.

My Ride: My 5 and I met on Father's Day 2008 and have been together ever since. 20" Wheels (Make TBD), premium package, sport package, AiB V3 upgrade and a Passport Escort 8500 Radar Detector.
Car sounds nice. IMHO I would never have my wife by a bimmer without a warranty. The first time she took it in for service and saw the bill she would have severe buyers remorse. I'm out of warranty myself, but I'm ok with paying $120+ for an oil change... kind of...

My Ride: 2004 545i - Bone stock... help!
I bought a 545 out of warranty and I love my car! Would I do it again? Eh.. no .
Minor stuff adds up quick man, and all you need is one reasonably serious problem and BAM, you just sank the money into the car that could have got you into a newer car WITH a warranty.

i would pass....i own a 545 myself, but i wouldn't buy w/o warranty. if your g/f is in the mkt for a 5 series or a bmw, the dealerships should be getting some 06' and 07' 550's lease returns and those will be cpo'd till 100k - be patient, and GL.

Go back tommorow, try to get it lower then leave. Then come back the last day of the month. You will get a better deal, they are trying to make quota last day.

My Ride: 2005 545i Sport Package Limo Tinted, Heads up display, Fully Loaded Minus Cold Weather Package and Rear window Sunshades.
Thanks everyone for the great advice! I got the deal down to 24k just for the hell of it but still didn't go through with it because of the warranty issues. I felt the same way just needed to hear it from everyone else... Love is a dangerous thing... I still love that car... But we have since found a new mate for my 545i... Will let you know how that goes when I get back from Bimmerfest!
