I just picked up my 2005 545i.? First time BMW driver/buyer.? Decided to get the 2005 545 over the 2006 530.? I am so happy that I did.?
This car is unbelievable.? I havent pushed it too much yet, but it is just asking to be spanked.? The drive, feel, and power are in perfect synchrony with one another.
Thanks to all of you who have answered my questions over the past few weeks.? Your answers helped me arrive at the decision I made to buy this car over the 530, which I am sure is a nice car too.
Any tips for a first time BMW buyer with a new 545?

My Ride: 2005 545i Jet Black, Black Dakota, Sport Package with all the goodies, NAV, Satelite radio, comfort seats, Logic7, Cold weather, Dark wood trim, Delivered March 15, 2005
I'm noticing a pattern...... When someone gets their new car, they post they got their car and then you don't hear from them on the forum for awhile. My guess is they are outing driving the car and not on the computer. Good for them! My car comes in next Wednesday, so you probably won't hear me on this forum for awhile. Off to LA, the Palm Springs, then back to SF.

Don't be.
Get an 06 550i and we'll be envious of you!

[/quote]Hmmmm, should I trade in my 5-day old 525i?
Just out of curiousity, what's the return policy on cars?

My Ride: E60 "Stripper"
Now C6 "Stripper"
It does depend on the dealer, some will give you a certain mileage restriction and if you are not completely satisfied you can return the car (but expect deductions for wear and tear) and use the net towards another car from them, but it could get tricky. 
Enjoy your 525i it's still a nice executive ride.
A lady doesn't have to prove herself to anyone.
I was hoping for a 2007 Corvette Z06 or New SVT F150 Lightning myself! :winkcool:
