Hi guys ! Just picked up a 545i Sport in Carbon Black. Looks great and drives brilliantly.

It was a Demonstrator with 800klms and saved 9k ( Aust Dollars)

Gee the Carbon Black looks great in the Sun......it has that blue tinge. Cant wait to now contribute better to this Forum.

Reading the Posts helped a lot in my decision to buy now and not wait for a 550i when it comes out. Only did a 3yr / 50% lease so i could probably get out in 2 years ok. Now when do those second hand E60 M5's hit the market with an affordable price........................March 2007 maybe !

Nick

PS Not sure how to post pics yet...........When I have hit it with P21s I will try and post !

Welcome, Nick, and naturally we want you to share those photos. At the bottom of the reply screen is a "Browse" box. Browse your hard drive to the photo location and follow up with "Add this Attachment." That should do it.

Never having posted on a forum of any kind, this is in the nature of an expperiment for me. My last attempt to congratulate Nick resulted in a blank post.

Anyway, I will be picking up my 545 on Tuesday. Currently driving an E39 540I 6 speed, I am expecting a modest increase in torque as well as significant increase in agility.

Does anyone have any tips for my test drive prior to signing on the dotted line? I am especially concerned about software issues.

Guess what... My first post here on this forum was my first post on a forum ever... The experiment worked out pretty well for me.
