Just bought an '05 545 in March and I love it. If you are going to look for a 6spd I would recommend the sport package as well. Nice to have the better handling to go with the power of the V8. Mileage is not bad. I average right around 19-22mpg depending on my city/hwy mix.
I bought mine without the CPO (kind of risky), but it saves quite a bit of money on the purchase price. I also have access to all BMW parts at wholesale cost though.
Good luck on your search.

I'm thinking about purchasing a 2005 545i (with 50,000 miles on) and I need some feedback from the owners on the forum.

I just want to know what the gas mileage is?considering the big 8 cylinder engine (city/highway)
Also, are there cars reliable? Do they break down a lot and are they expensive the maintain?
What is the service schedule at 75,000 and 100,000? I was trying to find a detailed maintenance schedule online but was unsuccessful.
Any info would help.
Thanks in advance

I have 04 545i 6speed for sale. Let me know if you are interested. Still with 100k CPO Warranty. Peace of mind

I wish I was in a position to make a deal, because that is THE IDEAL CAR I WANT. Can you hold on to for a while? LOL, just kidding.
whoever picks that up will be one lucky person.
