Peter,
before you do anything, one question:
Are you leasing or buying.? If you are leasing, at least get pricing on the 545.? Money factors are .001.? Money factors for the 525 and 530 are supposedly higher.? I am leasing a 545 that I am taking delivery of first week of May.? It is fully loaded other than you guessed it ACC.? I am paying $673/mo with $2500 down.? On a 525 with a 59% residual (3yr lease) with a .0027 money factor, you will pay $691 with the numbers you mentioned for MSRP and purchase price.? The 545 deals are spectacular right now.
If you are buying then I definitely understand why you are opting for the 525.? We love our 545 on this board.
Hope this helps.

Since the car is goming with navigation...will the dealership give me the latest DVD or do I have to start looking for it on Ebay? Thanks.

Just a thought that poped up when I saw my color as "Alpine White" on the delivery thing. Have you ever heard of a car that has been built wrong? On my Boxster's Black leather it came with Seal Gray stiching instead of Black. But I like it.

I am going to be driving this car in the city, and where gas is $2.50, so hopefully I will get better mileage.? I would definatly get a 545 if I did not have a Boxster.? Thanks, good idea.

Options,shmoptions. modify your order for a 530i.
Gas prices come on. That's a poor excuse if u have a Porsche and soon to be BMW. You will also be revving that 525i higher so the mileage issue will be a wash.
Boxster S yeah but regular boxster.
