Moritz is great!? I got my M5 from them.? It's just to bad they are so far for us - Far North Dallas as well.? Had a similar experience with the Richardson dealer.

Park Distance Control...it makes sure you don't back over anything or drive your new car through the wall in the garage.

Does anyone have a good guess on the price difference between a 550 and a 545?

I don't think they will increase the price by much-- for instance, the increase on the 530i was only a few hundred when they introduced the '06s. (The price increase was higher, but if you compared apples to apples with Xenon it was only a few hundred.) However, when new models are introduced, they don't discount nearly as much and if you are leasing, you need to wait at least 6-9 months for the lease rates to come down. For instance, today the rates on an '05 530i are .00125 vs. .00265 for an '06 530i. The 545i is a swinging deal for next 3-4 months, and then you'll only be able to get a 550i.
