Well guys
I priced out the 545i lease and it came to about 850 with tax and licenses and what not up front
how come the 645ci is so much more expenisve on BMWNA
any ideas the lease price on these things bc if its like 900 i might just byte the bullet and get a 645ci
any comments or suggestions
ohh and you guys really do know your shit when it comes to the e60
HANDS DOWN
i learn SOOO much from lurking around the threads
PS- the 545 had every option besides the satellite or the comfor seats bc I wanted the CWP instead
thanx in advance

I guess it really depends on whether you want a coupe or a sedan. The 545i drives great especially with the sports package. Personally I would go with the 545i because I would rather have a sedan. Ive had a coupe (CLK 430) and it got old, carrying people around. Both are awesome cars though.

Benz715, may have misunderstood the PS at the end your post, I'm not sure whether you thought that you couldn't have both the comfort seats and the CWP so you had gone for CWP instead. If that was the case just wanted to let you know that I do have both. Enjoy the car whatever you decide.

The 6-series is grossly overpriced for essentially the same hardware as the 545i.

BTW - comfort seats are worth the money.... And they can not be ordered on the 645 I believe - which helped make the decision for me.

And the premium for my M6 over the M5 is about the same %. The ordering process is so much simpler, however. US Spec had 6 options to choose from. 545 had too many options to pick from so I took the less confusing route 
But that's the price u pay if that's the toy u want. Never was too practical

My Ride: 2003 X5 3.0----->gone
2004 Porsche Cayenne S : Gemballa front and back bodykit, fabspeed bypass pipes, Gemballa exhaust pipes, full option, 20" factory sport design rims------>gone
2005 545i 6-spd manual---->de-badged, CDV removal, Autosolutions short shift kit, resonator removal, premium package, PDC, xenon, almost full options, hardwire V1 install ....looking for mods...
2007 550i 6-spd----> Premium package, sport package, Logic7, heated everything, Rogue Engineering SSK, CDV removal, hardwire V1 install, aFe cold air intake, Custom Magnaflow exhaust....
I paid 735 per month on my 545i and it has almost all options except HUD. I was asking the same question and managed to negotiate a 1000/per month deal on the 645ci. You get more exclusivity with the 645 although its almost similar to the 545i.
I would pay 735 for a almost fully equiped 545

My Ride: 04 525i sport, premium, winter, xenon. xm satellite radio, navwithtv dvd system, 1 jl 10w7 sub powered by xtant 1001x amp. 20x8.5/10 on nitto nt555 rubber. acs roof and decklid spoiler, breyton front spoiler.
me 2 but i put absolutely nothing down at drive away and i have sport, premium, xenon and cold weather. i wouldnt pay more for the 545 (which for some reason i couldve gotten an unbelievable deal on) because my insurance would almost double.
