I am a new member from Toronto.
I just ordered my 545i last week to replace my existing 540i in May.
Looking forward to learning a lot from this forum.

I don't really remember all the differences.? Fold-down seats, leather, CWP, km, kph, no 525, DRL, not being considered part of NA by BWM NA.

Feedback from Canadians needed -
What kind of deal did you get when purchasing from the Dealer ... if you purchased your new 5er, how much off of MSRP did you get or how much over invoice?
Going in next week to place my order and wanted some idea what us canadians are getting for deals (I'm looking at a loaded 545i) ...
Thanks in advance ...

I wonder how many of us are there?? Since I have owned my car (one month) I have seen only two other E60's on the road, a 545 and a 530.
I have seen a few E500's, smoked one at a light the other day.?
I lived in Edmonton for a year, heli, you probably have the only 545 in the city.

Hi All. in Vancouver here... (the "real" Vancouver, not the one in OR...)
I have always wondered why BMW doesnt write in the mph under the kph in the speedo?. US models have both measurments written in thier speedo???
Its a pain when I go down across the border and I have to guess the speed limit.
I think the other difference is that most Canadian models come installed with the front license plate bracket too. Also all the packge options are different. No Sirius radio available because we're behind the times. In Canada, no Leatherette upholstery available, Dakota and Nasca Leather only. Xenon lights optional in US, std in Canada. Obviously no 525 not available (as stated before) only 530 and 545.
cheers.

My Ride: 07/2004 530i 2007 X5 4.8i
Hello all Canadians, Bought my 07/04 built 530I in November 2004. Paid $6.000 below the MSRP. How is everyone doing in ice and snow. I was too scared to take mine in the snow and had it parked for the last two weeks which sucked. My Lexus is not any better in snow either with all seasons. I am Vancouver.
