My Ride: 2005 545i- Titanium Gray
I am the proud owner of an 05 545i! We purchased one today at the bmw financial auction in dallas. I know some of you wanted to know what I ended up paying etc... So below are the details.
2005 bmw 545i
44,000 miles
Gray with tan interior
Nav and sport
Very clean...
Paid 26k
The price was a touch higher than I was hoping to go but still a great deal I think.
I will update with pics when it arrives next week.
Looking forward to posting all my mods and getting advice!!

Great price!!!
if it isn't CPOed, hurry up and go to the dealer for check up before warranty runs out.
because it will take $3-4k easily for repair once warranty expires for repair.

Congrats on your new (to you) car and enjoy the forums!! 
And YES, make sure you have a warranty, because a BMW will eat your wallet through your heart if you don't!!

Thanks for the welcomes guys!
No it is no cpo'd. The dealers buy at this price then cpo them and sell for 35k or so.
I am fortunate that a good friend and neighbor is a master mechanic at our local bavarian automotive and can get work done at cost, but nonetheless I will be getting an extended warranty.
Thanks!

Congrats...not a bad deal! Call dealer and check if 30K service has been done....they can pull records using VIN number but they cannot print records for you....probably need oil service at 45K. Make sure the brakes are replaced if they need them....all under warranty of course..also brake fluid flush. I am quite sure all your service is up to date. Enjoy the car!
Great price for that car, even w/o CPO. Smokin deal. Enjoy the forum.
