I remember some older posts abouth those, but I though it some thing only on the diesels. Obviously my memory is not too good! I know I don't have them on my US spec 545. Anyway congrats on finally getting the car. I assume everything has been resolved everything with your dealer concerning the excessive miles put on the car before delivery.

Yeah...spoke to the chief mechanic, he confirmed the test driving for the wheels and tyres..the sales director apologised for bad internal communication...and
hopefully they will throw in something for the deal.

Anyway, at the end, my will to have the car superseded any uncomfortable feelings...I'm not going to let some clowns outclass my experience with my 545i..

Thanks, buddy!!
Man, can't wait to hear that sound either.
BTW, Maria was already intimidated by the 328i - I doubt if she will want to go up
against a V8. Most powerful thing she has driven is a Citroen ZX 1.4 ...

Get prepared for a Delft visit!!!


PS. Arranged the insurance with BMW Top Cover...no problems. Thanks.
