The throw is STILL Looooooong!!! Pic are comming folks. Its really the same car, but now the Auxiliary input for the I-Pod is standard, and the rear cup holders are a lot more friendly. Also, Comfort Seats are now standard in the Sport Package, and the Sport Steering wheel is also standard in the SPort. Same as the 650 steering wheel.

Also....after you get about 200 miles on her (ummm....that will probably be sometime during the first 24 hours, please post your impressions. There were rumors about subtle body style changes.....do you see/notice anything different at all?

I promise i will send you some pictures shortly. Its really the same 5 er as 2004,2005,2006 accept for the comfort seats being standard in the Sport package and the new sport steering wheel. What really makes me happy is that if you folks with 545's out there thinks its just another V8, Think again. This V8 is AWESOME. It is totaly different from my previous 545i, in every situation. This engine is sooooooo phoenamenal. It has a much deeper tone to it, and it revs up sooo freely. The torque is unbelievable in every gear, and all of the RPM ranges. Definitely test drive one and you'll agree with me.
Not trying to put any one's 545i down, (it is still a great great vehicle) this one is just a whole different animal.
I figured you guys and gals wanted to hear some first impressions!!!
