My first BMW and I absolutely love it! I received my car less than 2 months ago and already drove 3000 miles. I have a 525i and couldn't imagine the experience in the 545... 
enjoy it!
hey, it's on my wish list

my first bmw also and i'm diggin' it. i'd get myself into some serious trouble if i had a 545. i don't want to think what i'd do in an m5. wacko.gif
but the feeling was great after i was pulling away very easily and my heart was pumping blood so fast i got scared.. now back to normal driving, enjoying this sedentary beast every time.

My Ride: 2010 750Li M sport
and I had just left a gathering at a pub. We had made our own beer and was in the process of bottling it. I loaded my share in the trunk of my car and began the trip back home. The microbrewery was in a part of the city that I was unfamilar with, so I punch in my home address in the Nav and I am efficiently guided to the nearest freeway on ramp. It is late and there is very little traffic. I have about a 30 mile ride all freeway to look forward to. Temperature outside is low 40's but the temperature in the car is a very comfortable 70 degrees. This car is really taking care of me... Anyway I get to the freeway on ramp and decide that it would be great fun to really merge quickly... 
Before I know it, I am doing 100 mph. I check over my left shoulder, check my mirrors and there is no one in sight.... a beautiful thing! I complete the merge, head for the number two lane and set the cruise for 85 mph... I've got Fleetwood Mac playing in the CD and the tunes turned up pretty high (Logic 7) its as though I was in the recording studio with them! The 545 is cruising with barely a ripple. The wipers occasionally sweep the windshield when the light rain accumulates on it. I am surrounded by an atmosphere of total security, serenity and joy. I am truly loving this car. Amazingly no one gets in my way, or slows me down. It is clear sailing all the way home. As I am driving I begin to really appreciate how wonderful these cars are. No vibration, no wind noise, smooth ride, great sound from the stereo and total confidence in the handling with engine power to spare. It was such a wonderful drive home that when I finally pulled the car into the garage I just sat in it and let the CD I was listening to comlete! Just thought I would share or try to put into words such an indescribable experience!

My Ride: -04 530D
I have been now two weeks in Finland and after half a year I can say that I have enjoyed every second in my car. More than 2000 km already! 
Well, maybe not when I drove it back to south with summer tyres in a snow storm on two lane road where big trucks run 85 km/h towards. It was bit scary 350 km. But I managed to make it what some other drivers could not
, meaning: get home safe. One accident involved truck with trailer (24 m, 60 tons) and two cars. Very, very sad looking.
BMW brought me home even climbing on some hills was pathetic. 40 kph and yellow light on dash whole time.
