Well I'll have to say from the beginning I was never satisfied with this car. All the frequent visits to the dealer with software upgrades, interior noises, cup holders, windows ect... The list can go on and on. My car war an early build and most of the options could not be added or available at the time. I never really fell in love with this car. I was able to find a 2003 745i with only 10,000 miles on it and has upgraded 20 inch wheels. Comes with extended warranty until 2008. This car has everything..
Voice recognition ( awesome feature )
Navigation
Massaging seats
Heated seats
Ventilated seats
Logic 7
Rear shades
Auto open and close trunk
cd changer
luxury seating
The list can go on and on ( in a good way )
With no money down I ended up paying the same monthly payment I was with the 530i. Well I cant be totally negative about the 5er. We had some good times. Bye everyone and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Good Deal man. Enjoy your 745i and may it bring much joy to you. Hopefully one day you'll drive a 5 series again and enjoy it more so then your pre 2004 530i.

Sorry to hear you had so much trouble with the early 5 build, hope you have a better experience with the 7.
So what did you do with the Maya wheels? Are you selling? I'm in the LA area so let me know.
Merry Christmas.

I not sure what i am going to do with the maya's, 2 wheels are bent and other have curb marks on them. Some advise dont your wife drive your car if you have wheels on it. I might get them fixed and redone like new then I might sell them. I also was thinking about selling the 530i wheels ( maya's ) and the 20 inch bmw wheels then buying a set of 22's. Will see!

Really nice looking E65 or is it a E66 (the longer model).
I could not buy a car that would be an inch wider or I could not get it in my company garage.
Enjoy your new luxury BMW!

My Ride: 2008 M5 -- Exterior: Silverstone, Interior: Black. Fully Loaded. That just about sums it up! :-)
Congrats on the new ride! It really looks awesome!!!
Given the circumstances that you described, I would have done exactly the same thing. Good Call. Glad to see that you decided to stick with the BMW family -- tough to find another vehicle with just the right luxury and sport.
Nice Christmas present!
Cheers.
