love my 545i next car will have to be a M5
Gas price is the last thing on my mind have a warranty plan or you will be digging in your pockets

My auto insurance just totaled my 2006 525i. I test drove a 545i before, it was a beast! But during the time the gas prices were ridiculous! With the gas prices fairly low, I am considering a 545i. I want your suggestions gents! What do you guys think? Let me know, thanks!

get the 545 if u want power. I kinda regret myself for buying the 545i and not the M5 for the power cuz I cheaped out and was afraid of the gas consumption as well. dont be like me.

Well I didn't think the car would be totaled. I was only going 25 mph when I fell asleep on the wheel and hit a parked car. They found frame damage when they took it apart at the body shop. Well the good news is that I just picked up a 2004 545i CPO with 58k miles for 21K. I'm going down to Orlando to pick up my wheels and system and getting them installed onto the new car. Such a bid difference jumping from 525i to a 545i. It doesn't feel like the same car.

If you buy a 530i, you'll regret not getting a 545i or 550i.
If you get a 545i or 550, you'll regret not getting a M5.
I chose option 2.
With the economy in pieces, you can get super nice cars at bargain basement prices
