My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets. First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
Thumbs down

The 19" (Michelin Pilots) wheels look way out of proportion to the car, as they are a very open design and have slender dual spokes--all you see is caliper. I was glad to see the 6 speed though.

They still charge extra for options like headsup, metallic black, leather and other stuff that you'd assume would be included in what is probably their most expensive, limited edition car. I don't remember the total price of the V12 7 sitting behind it, but its Gas Guzzler tax was only $1700.

I drove the 650 auto convert during the cancer demo and that seems enough for me; would prefer a stick though.
