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

PS- the 545 had every option besides the satellite or the comfor seats bc I wanted the CWP instead

The 545 will be replaced by a newer 550 in Sept 05. Hence the money factor is very low. They can actually got for much less that 850 per month. Closer to 700 infact. Now the 645 although may also get the newer motor is a rarer car and they have not lowered the MF as much.

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.

Agreed - you pay $10k for the body style. You also cannot discount it as much. If you can lease a 645 for $900 then do it (if that is what you want).

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.

You mean I paid a premium for them to remove two of my doors 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

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 pay almost 700 a month for my 525 with only the sports package. I would pay 735 for a almost fully equiped 545
