Finally got my car on Friday and by Friday night had plucked up the courage to put it in the garage. The wing mirrors just squeezed in and the relief flooded in (going on holiday shortly and wanted to safely tuck it up). Thing is, I can't shut the bloody garage door, the rear end overhangs the garage door frame by about 1-2 inches Now the E60 it's that big, does anyone else have this problem?

Apart from that she is everything I'd hoped for, even below 4500rpm the power/torque is amazing - same league as my old E46 M3, the quality is outstanding, L7 sound is superb and stiil playing with the Sat Nav. The ACS spolier looks great too.

Great stuff jonboy, you'll be one of the few UK 545i owners we ever get in here so I'll be keeping an eye on petrol prices for you

Knew you'd love the L7.

Can you pop the door further out... I mean I had a friend with the same issue when they got an E Class Mbz. They removed the garage door, put a NEW frame that pushed out aprox 9 inches. Bricked the edge so it looked like it was done from day 1.
