hey guys, so i did it. I bought the titanium grey 545i from vancouver. Just got back last night. I have to say that was the most comfortable drive i ever had. Literally these comfort seats are just crazy comfortable. You can literally adjust every little angle on these. Its pretty fast car, not as exciting as my old m3, but it'll do for now. My son loves the car, he has so much room in the rear now. I'll probably write a full review after driving for few more days, for now here are some pics
Here's the 545i at the dealership getting an inspection done, i put on the stock ugly 17's with a set of snow tires, just incase:
few more shots before leaving vancouver for the lonnng drive back...
here she is in the garage last night, made it back at 9pm
no time to rest, started with my first set of small mods:
painted the front grill and side trims to satin black, ran out of spray paint, only did 2 light coats..
heres the trims installed, also stuck my old 10mm spacer/summer 19''s to check clearance. Gonna be picking up my other set of 20mm and 12mm spacers tonight from a friend.
trying to decide if i should order h&r sport or race springs.. gotta order them today..

i do have to say the e60 is a huge update to the e39. Before my m3 i used to have a e39 530i, and it was nothing like this. this car is sooo comfortable. I'll be picking up a set of Nex GT coilovers tonight from a fellow member here, hopefully i can get them installed soon, also gonna pick up a set from mtec v2's from him too. just putting my order into brabus for the euro sticker/sig package... pretty excited to start a new project.. Still haven't decided if i should tint or not, what do you guys think??
Is it normal for the trunk to fling up when you open?? like i almost hit my chin when i first opened the trunk.
Where is the fuse for the eyebrows? i just noticed that my eyebrows dont turn on, i've read on the forums that there was a new sw update for the eyebrow bug, wanna check the fuse first, if not hopefully its covered under cpo.
