My Ride: 2005 Black Sapphire Metallic 545i
I loved the car when I saw it at the dealership....at home it's even better, you want an excuse to get in and drive, just absolutely amazing. It's everything everyone said it was going to be and so much more.
The only thing that worries me is that I only have 54 miles on it, except I made a bo-bo, and went over 4500 rpms a tad going through the gears, along with some tire chirp, has anyone else done the same? It's just so tempting it's hard not to, but I am going to try and refrain even though it's near impossible.

It's not that I liked the sahhpire more than the jet, both are going to get dirty easy but up here, I think the jet would show even more nics and scratchs, who knows.

As long as you don't beat on the car I think it will be OK.

Thats what I was confused about, I asked them yesterday when I picked it up and the car and they said BMW breaks in these engines already at the plant, but who knows what they are talking about most of the time.
