Highly recommend

wow, that white and brown combination looks awesome! great choice!

I bought my 545i from the east coast and received it a couple of weeks ago. the delivery took 10 days and it cost $850 on an open container.

the 10 day wait felt like the longest 10 days of my life... the good part is that it'll give you a head start on buying all the goodies for the new car

Is that a manual 550i you just upgraded to? NICE! Great color combination too.

Thanks!

Its exactly the color combo and pkgs that I wanted, which is hard to find when shopping CPO. It has sport pkg, cold weather, nav, ipod, active this & that, power rear & manual side sunshades, PDC, 7850 miles! Whoop Whoop!

They only thing I wish it had (but it was not a deal breaker) is the fold down rear seat.

Congrats on a really nice ride. The V8 is a BIG upgrade. My 545i was my first BMW V8, after 2 1/2 year it still puts a smile on my face, they are GREAT engines
