Well, I did it. Purchased a 04 545i yesterday. Its being delivered from CA here to Phoenix - I should have it by Tuesday. I figured I better join up here because I'm sure I will have a million questions.
Anyway, the car is Black Saphire with Sport, Steptronic, Logic 7, Cold Weather (like I'll need that in Phoenix), and Sirrius. Black interior.
I shopped for months and looked at everything form E500 to Escalade, to Corvette, to CTS-V, to the new A6 plus plenty of others. Bottom line is I just liked the 545 the best. I had a 99 M3 convertible so I do know how well built the car will be.
Plus, got $2,400 off list which I figured was pretty good even though its an 04.
Anyway, guess I'll see you around.

Congrats and Welcome to the Best BMW Board on the Internet
My 545 has 3,700 miles on it and I look forward to driving it every chance that I get. The build quality of my car has been flawless. The e60 is a great car.

welcome aboard, tbone ! please post some pics later 
. now time to shop for some cleaning products 
. btw, not trying to discourage you but $2,400 off list doesn't seem like a good deal. i think by this time of the year, $500 over invoice is a workable deal. i hope you'll get a lot of freebies from your dealer.
