Have you done a search for all the different leaks that a 545 has that are supposedly fixed in the 550? If not do so and thats the major difference.

They both leak but their is possibly less leaks with a 550. The thing to reeally look for is good maintenance records. A 545 that has had all the major things that can go wrong fixed would be better than a 550 that hasn't.

Looks like you're missing NAV, rear sunshades and the Sport suspension system.
On a side note, that front bumper has definitely been reshot. I would proceed with extreme caution given that. Also, the kidney grills are not OEM, but a black aftermarket, and is indicative of someone who pushed the car for its performance aspects. Its getting to that kilometer range where it definitely needs some attention paid to the seals, but then again the price is fantastic, almost too good to beat, so my question would be why is the price so low?
I get a bad feelings about this one m8.
