Great car choice! I share in that sentiment: I (sadly) gave up my 2003 Acura CL-S 6-speed to step up to a 550i after driving nothing but well-engineered Honda Motor Co. machines since 1989. The 550i (even the 545i!) are monstrous torque machines that no Honda/Acura product can ever compare to. (However I do miss the sound of the J32's VTEC howl at 4800 rpm!) But once my 550 is broken in, I can't wait to open her up to hear what awesome sounds the V8 makes past 4500 rpm!

You have just made a couple good decissions: Buying an E60 and joining E60.net!

Welcome aboard, !

I think you got a pretty good deal. Mine is a 2004 525i with 20K on the clock for $40,000. Considering yours is a 545i that's a steal. I searched autotrader.com and I couldn't find anything below $45,000 for a 545i when I was looking.

I don't have a E60. I think you got a super great deal. A new 545i with those features costs around $64k? And it is just 17k and you got $20k off. I wish my parents would trade in their CL for a 550i or 535i next year. Congratulation on your new 5.


Quick Reply: Just bought me a 545!!! Great Forum!
