My dealer explained that other than for BMW owned dealerships, which get 4, most dealers are only allocated one 545 per month.? I am friends with the owner of the dealership so prob. accurate info.?

Really? How many dealerships are there in the US? 21% of the 5 series sold are 545s... about 759 a month. A lot a lot.

They use to only sell about 300 ish 540s but now 545s have doubled in sales in comparison to 540s but then again so has 525s and 530s.

I hope to be one of the first in the Boston area to start a 550 club!

There's another black one that lives near me, she has the sports package.? We always wave and smile whenever we see each other because obviously we both have great taste in the cars we chose to drive...

But true, I really don't see many of the V8's...

I actually see a quite a few 545s here in the loop. Mostly blacks, a few silver grays and ti gr. Heck, today I saw a navy Diablo, a Gallardo, a Quattroporte, and Continental GTs are almost a daily occurance.

BTW, my wife sees the reflection of my sapphire black 545 today in building windows and comments "this car actually looks quite good". She is not a car person.
