Every time I go out to my parking lot I see a couple of E39's and I say to myself I can't believe BMW used to make such boring looking cars. Then I see my black beauty (which still looks better even with the coat of dirt).

soc_fans,
Different cars for different things. For driving hard and sporting around we have a Porsche, for general crusing for just the two of us (my wife and I) we have her MB SL. Life is fun here where the Police drive BMW's Audi's and MB's! oh, and taxi's are also made from those three

Just a thought! a 545 without sport package is not a 545~

But a 525 without sportpackage is a 525.? ? ? ?

That is the beauty of owning a 525

I would rather owing a used m3 than getting a 525.

Congrats The wait is a killer but worth it! You could spend the time updating your signature with your specs.

Congratulations!? Very nice, I see you got the 116 wheels too.

Love the 116's! I think they even look good with a bit of break dust. Kinda adds a 3D effect.

The sport package plays no roll at all when accelerating from 100 to 140 on the autobahn! It's all 545

Thanks, I plant update that tonight (that is if I get home at a resonable hour). I did not want to put that in until I actually had the car or it was at the dealer.

One of the reasons I chose the Autobahn picture instead of a car pic. The breakin period will be the next test!

I am an American working for Uncle Sam here in Germany. I ordered the car with American Specs. The other cars there are all German Spec. Today they are replacing the blanks on the rear with the red reflectors, doing the window tint (probably not needed until next summer ) and doing the Prep. The car carrier dropped it of only about 2 hours before the picture was taken. I am really bumbed out they do not have HO tint here in fact they have not even heard of it.

Thanks for the reply and looking closely
