turned down, yes....

cigarettes sponsors are one of the biggest in F1, without that, tough. Singapore does not support cigarette companies.
From what I understand, even F1 is now clamping down on cig advertisements.

OK, I called re the 545 for sale. Its being sold by Motorway. The guy on the line claimed that its a 545 "limited edition" and there are only 2 on the road. I asked him about the limited edition tag and he said "very special car"; unlike all the other 5 series you see. Hmmm..... Mileage is only 19K and its 04/05, reg'd Feb 2005. Asking for 255K. Its black with 19inch rims. Asked him where the other 545 is and he says its running around somewhere in Singapore. We all know there are at least 6 of these around, don't we? What a joke!!!

Did you find out why the owner is selling the car? At $255 asking, the depreciation seems steep, or is that normal for a 1 year old car?

Thats to be expected when you buy a big cc car. Actually 67K for 14 mths of use is not all that bad. I'm sure the owner lost alot more as this car is being sold by a dealer. Could they have bought it in the region of maybe 240K?

Looks like a 523 with side airbags activated. Looks like the driver survived the crash I think.
