Besides rear badges, wheels, and the front chrome kidney grill, are there any OTHER cosmetic or visual differences betweent the 545i and the 530i/525i? Just curious.

Fellas... you guys are all missing the most obvious items.
1) Wheels: 545 has the staggered wheels set-up (this means the rear- wheels are wider than the front)
2) The 545 has bright (as in chromed) front kidney grills.
Those are the 2 traditional difference for the V8 and the I-6 engine. Check it out!
