My Ride: 2002 330CIC with Sports and Premium (Sold 4/2005)
2005 545I Black Saphire Metalic, with Black Dakota Leather, Poplar trim. Sport Package, MTech Body kit and Spoiler, HUD, Comfort Seats, Navigation, Premium sound, CWP, Heated Rear Seats, Window shades. Valentine 1 hardwired, Aux input.
I just purchased my first Beemer last year. I am currently driving a 330cic, and will never drive another manufacturers car until I can afford 100K+. I drove a GS300 for 4 years, and cannot believe the difference. My Lexus was nice, but very tame compared to the Beemer. My wife drives a GX470, and it is great for trips, and toting the kids around. My 2005 545I is on the docks in Germany awaiting transport. Congratulations on your new experience, and believe me, it will be an experience. Only Porsche can offer you a similar ride, and you would only have a two seater in reality. Enjoy, and don't injure yourself. I would highly recommend frequenting this forum. Everything you will ever need to know is here. The passion you will find here is second to none.

Congrats on your car.? What percent tints do you have?
It's 30% all around. I think I should have gone darker though. The dealer paid for it so I might make it work.

DUDE!!! You just got your car and your wife put her sorority tag on already!!!
It took my wife two weeks before she claimed it.
All men rise up and take your E60!
Tell her to go "Skeeweee" in someone elses car!
Also, I have the same color scheme. I borrowed a style from Bentley and put in midnight blue color carpet floor mats over the tan. The tan OEM's are hard to keep clean.
ENJOY!

My husband drives a Lexus, and will probably never get to even ride in my 5! I was thinking of getting the BMW all weather mats, the plastic covers you see in the picture were in the truck I traded, with rain here, I figured they were better than nothing
