I want to thank everybody for all your help. I have a 2004 Audi S4 which I never really fell in love with. My transmission blew at 5K and was hit three times in the last six months (I was never driving). I had tried to break the lease last November and trade up to the A6, but was told by Audi that my buyout would be around 10 grand!! So I kept the car and have been moping around for the last 3 months. I had heard that the 5 series was coming out in AWD so I decided to go to the dealer last week and test drive the 05 530. I enjoyed it and put money down on a 530xi pre-order.
It was at that point I found your forum and have been a junky ever since. I have probably read most threads. I was scared to buy a RW drive car, but after reading all the posts became increasingly more confident. I kept weighing AWD vs. V8. I called another dealer in Albany and asked him out of curiosity if he had any 545's automatics (I'm tired of 6-speeds for now). He said he had one available: Silver, black leather, Cold weather, L7, Nav, Satellite. It was the EXACT car I would have configured. I ran up to the dealer and took it for a spin (In the snow)! It was love at firs site. java script:emoticon('
') I ran out yesterday to by a Motorola BT phone from Cingular. I'll be picking up my 2005 545i on Monday. You guys are great!!!!!!! Thanks!
