Like the title says, I just purchased a 2005 525i on Wendesday.? I've always wanted a BMW.?
The car is pretty basic.? Titanium Silver with Gray Leather, cold weather package, and premium package.?
Hopefully, soon I'll get Sirius installed and maybe Nav? Is that even possible? Can I have nav and Sirius together?
The funny situation out of this is that the car payment is less than what I was paying for my explorer.? While I didn't get the great deals you guys got on financing, for a person in my situation it's fantastic.? Under $500 a month is great to me.
Hope to have pics soon.

You leasing? Maybe it's because the 5 (and BMWs in general) hold their value better...much better than your previous car. Congrats and welcome to the board.

Didn't lease the explorer.. I was financing it normally. Bought it when I didn't have a lot of options with my previous car and I owed too much on it.
Now things are different.
I knew I could add sirius if I had the prep done, which I do. I just didn't know if I could do both (Nav and Sat) at the same time.
