As the topic title says, I am new to this forum and BMW's. I am considering purchasing either a 2003 540 or a 2004 545i as a third car. I am aware of the style change with the 2004 and generally prefer the newer models. Unfortunetly my budget won't allow for a later model. I plan to spend $ 10,000 to $ 20,000. Does anyone have an opinion on what to look for and what to avoid in either model. Reliability is a concern of mine.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks

They made 545's in late 2003, to end of 2005, then started the 550i series in 2006.
