im purchasing a 2004 530i or 545i both manuall or SMG I need a vote to note some suggestions
If from US the 545iA SMG but if your are from the EU the 530iA is a very good choice.
Actually all E60's are nice - look more for the extras you like and that the car has been in good hands!

My Ride: 2003 BMW 530D, Silver Gray, Hartge performance chip 260bhp 600nm, dropped with Eibach Federn 4cm.
I would say 535D in every occasion.. Much power to tune and so little in consumption
