- more room - so the car can be used as a family car
- more power - never can have enough
- more mass - feeling safer with the family in the car
I am awaiting delivery of my 2005 545 - it has arrived at the VPC andI am just waiting for the call from my dealer to know when I can pick it up.

I moved from a 328is (E36) Coupe to a 645Ci since I liked the 6 for
a lovely blend of comfort and speed,
more powerful and stylish,
some innovative and desirable technical capabilities,
a coupe that I'd enjoy for a long time.

I went from a Mercedes S430 sport to a 545i! The benz was a dog to drive compared to the bimmer.

Not exactly the same move but perhaps even a bigger jump. I went from a 323i to a 545i.
Up until discovering this site I was waiting to trade in for the new e90. However, I decided on the e60 545i for the following reasons:
1. more power -I frankly have V8 lust going back to my teenage years and interest in US muscle cars. While BMWs are obviously in a different league, the lure of a modern V8 was too great.
2. attracted to the unique styling of the e60. Frankly, everywhere I looked I saw a 3-series and just wanted to stand out a bit more. The e90 is different but it's undeniably still a 3er.
3. more room - the 3 series is not a cruising car and not build for 4 people. I like the extra room in the e60 and its dual qualities: a speed demon but with the balance of a stylish and sporty cruiser
