How about a used 545

i think so. but some people would rather go with the lower model and use the money to mod the car. i'm the other way around. i'd rather pay a little more for a little higher model. but that's just me ;).

separate accts don't mean anything when it comes to this :devil:. if she knows you are willing to spend extra for something is "completely unneccessary" (at least that's some of the girls' thinking), you have to spend double on her to show how much you love her :wow: :whistle:. and girls are playing sherlock holmes sometimes :ph34r:. she'll ask why does the steering wheel look different or the mileage is lower :blink:.

that's not a bad idea. in fact, if you can find a nearly new 545 and sell the 530 on your own. i think that's doable ;).

I am in the mood to upgrade to 545i, too, but I found it's too expensive to go from a minimum optioned 530 to a fully loaded 545. Talking about 25K USD at least. Nah, just wait until 2006 or 2007 when all current bugs are sorted out, and more features (bugs :wow: ) added.
If anyone can give me a good motivation to upgrade from 530i to 545i, I might go for it. :wow: :wow: :wow:

i think the good motivation is you get smoked by a 95 years old grandma in a m3 at the stoplight :devil: :wow: :whistle:.

After visiting Yahoo's car classifying website, there are a lot of good used deal. Used 5-series price drop like a rock. What the...

i think we should keep ours for at least another 3-4 yrs and we won't feel that "hurt" when we change cars by that time :wacko:.

I might agree with that, too. Any more motivation anyone? I want more motivation. :)

It isn't only buying the car. Insurance will be higher too and fuel consumption (I personally could live with the fuel consumption).

Furthermore you could end up with a new mondaymorning car with loads of problems. If your current car is problemfree why change it and take the risk??

Totally agree with you Mr. 530E60NL. I think I can have fun with my car for another two or three years, and I'll upgrade to 2007 model or so. Let's plan that way.
I'll wait until 545i coming out using "trash" as fuel like the one in "Back to Future" movie. :lol:
Thanks again 530E60NL.
What I'll do to my car is adding aftermarket Xenon light (unfortunately), subwoofer, and a rocket launcher :wow:
