[FONT=Times][SIZE=14][B]Well, I ordered the 530 fully loaded. I just didn't want to wait for the 545. Most men want the 545 because it has so much more horsepower(men seem to have a need for speed). But being that I am a woman, 6 cylinders is enough for me.My car ended up costing around 54-55,000. The base price was around 43,000. I think that the base price for the 545 is 54,000 plus you have to add the price of the premium package. So I guess it's just up to you. My car should arrive sometime in November. I can hardly wait

When I calculate fully loaded (and I mean fully...HUD, Nav, Comfort Seats, etc.) I get $65,000 including taxes on the 530i. This number is what gives me the bad taste in my mouth. I know the BMW is the "ultimate driving machine", but a fully loaded Audi or Infiniti costs much less. I need to decide how I will go on this. Is $10,000 more worth is vs. Audi A6, or $15,000 more than the Infiniti M35? If I wait until 2005, Audi may have finally put more pep in their new A6. Plus I get that nice AWD for winter driving. These decisions are hard, but I hope you are happy with your new car, and that the new model avoids some of the problems.
One last thought....a loaded new 5, or even 5 with many packages is nearing the 7 series. If I can find a slightly used 745i (2003) that might make me feel like the $60K was worth it.
