+1 to what everyone else has said.
Personally, I shelled out the extra 5k to get my used 545 over the 530 and I could not be happier. It is well worth it, trust me.
Sports package is a must. Adaptive Xenon's are standard on anything above the 525. If you want bluetooth, you will mots likely get the full Nav and Logic 7, it will be a little harder to find since bluetooth started becoming more readily available on the newer models. You have the option between the auto, manual, or SMG. I have the SMG and absolutely love it, but I will say to be careful of the SMG pump, because if you need to replace that when it is out of warranty it can be really really pricey.
Be sure to check out the dealerships too. If you are able to get one CPO'd, it will definitely be worth it. The dealers are starting to have some really good deals on them ( hint hint, I got mine from the dealer haha )
Aside from all that, welcome to the forums.

In all honesty, all of those posts came from two threads, and it was only about black cars. however, the last two quotes i had to go through great lengths to get.
