I've sold my 05 545i. It was pretty nice but I could not live with rough idle/abrupt stop and start on V8 engine and tranny.
I made upper 20k's out of it and now I am looking a new one.
I found 06 CLS500 with 40k miles at $30k. Any other recommendations?
Thanks.

Well as long as you are done with BMW, how about a Hyundai Genesis, I hear good things about them!!
Seriously though good luck with your decision!

+1 on the e55 amg. i drove one the other day and they're a beast. Depending on ur budget you can find a cpo one in the mid 40's
as far as your 545i - why did you give up on rough idle? was it that bad? and transmission?
