My Ride: #1: 2004 545i; 6-speed manual; Sport Package; Mystic Blue with a gray leather interior and Anthracite wood; CWP; Logic 7.
#2: 2010 535xi Touring; Automatic.
Congratulations! I'm so jealous that you get to test out its high-speed abilities on the autobahn. I've rented 5-series sedans and wagons in Germany, but never the V-8 (I don't know whether any rental agency offers a 545 over there). Did you get the manual transmission?
And how come nobody likes the Mystic Blue? I think mine is awesome.

Our car is a standard US Spec 545i with the orange side lights up front and the black plugs in the rear bumper. US Spec?s will allow us to bring the car back to the States someday.
? it's so unfair

A regular German customer can't get a US spec car!

i think german car manufacturers just don't want their cars in other countries look as nice as in their own 
. they want to be more "special" 
. so poor us can only drool :'(.
