Picked up my 2005 545i 6speed on friday and what a joy. Turned in a 540i 6speed and the difference is amazing. The satelite radio is awesome. The power is superband the handling is marvelous. MY 2003 was a good comparison. No match for the 545i 6speed.

I have a modified CDV.
Why is needing to press the clutch to start the car such a big deal. Many a valet parker has driven the car into a wall because it was in gear with this feature.
I have driven a stick for the last 30 years. This was one change about 15 years ago that I welcomed.

I just hate the part where the car stalls (driver error, not me my wife) and you can't just turn it back on by turning the key clockwise, you have to turn the key counter clockwise and then clockwise in the middle of an intersection.

I haven't made that horrible starter noise (you know, the one when you start a car that's already started) in years and years!

Get rid of your CDV and install a clutch stop and you'll love it even more!
