wow, the 5 series is not an 'old people' car. whoever thinks of that is dumb
the 7 series, maybe. but definitely not the 5!
take a look at some of our members modded 5 and you'll change your opinion

Since you obviously like the M-tech bodywork, get the 550i ... just not in tampon. ![Laughing](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/laughing.gif)

Test driving a 545i tomorrow morning. That's all my local BMW store has in stock with the Sports Package, a must for me. If I love it, I'll be on the hunt for the next two weeks for either a 545i or a 550i.

Just got a call that they sold the 545i with Sport Pkg
, and all they have to sell is a 550i without Sport Pkg. I am going to drive it just to see if I can make the switch from a 3-series to a 5-series. I have looked at BMW dealers within a 120 mile radius on BMWUSA's web site, and no one has a 545i or 550i with Sport Pkg. Must be BMW recent financing offers on 2005 & 2006 has helped used car sales. Or is the Sport Pkg just hard to come by?
