Default New 545 owner...

Hey guys! Just posted an intro after lurking a few weeks while shopping for a 545i. Finnaly settled on a car and really couldn't be happier with my decision.. It took me a few days to figure out most of its features etc as it didn't come with an owners manual.

One thing I find confusing is why the inner headlamps dont seem to come on in any configuration... am I missing something?

Anyhow.. Im sure you guys like car-porn pics so here goes. Its a 2004 545i in Oxford Green with only 77k on the odometer. Not sure what you call this interior combo, but I like it.

Welcome to the world of senseless (but fun) spending on mods.

I believe they will turn on once DRL is activated.

Still confused on the inner headlamps issue..... but thanks guys.

Also... how do you know if the car will need to be coded if I were to install the aux-cable?

Thanks.... heard somewhere that some cars are already coded, but I guess its safe to proceed knowing its a high probability it isn't.

Yeah... I must have looked at 20+ cars and this was the only one I ever saw in Oxford green. It would be interesting to see the color sales numbers in 04-05.
