Very hard decision to sell the 545. I absolutely loved this car. In the end it just proved to be very unreliable. I have been fighting intermittent issues more and more. In the last 2 years I have never gone longer than 3 months without something breaking that required a trip to the stealer. That being said, I will miss it greatly! Amazing performance and a look I don't think will ever get old. I got so may compliments from this car. Already many people have told me they like my E60 more than my E90 M3! I have attached a few pictures of the new car. Let me know what you think. I have already done a few cosmetic mods. It's starting to look like my E60! I have new tail lights on the way and am looking for wheels. Thanks for everyone's support on the board with different issues I have had come up!

You made exactly the same decision I think about when it comes time for a new ride. The M3 sedan is awesome.
BMW is phasing out the sedan with your model so you also have a collectible. Cheers!
