I haven't tried any of the other dealers yet. The technicians I've dealt with are incompetent except for Ben, the head technician.

Here's a link to a thread I started on rating your dealer.

My Ride: Soon to be 2005 5-series

I have a dilema now and I don't know what to do. I have received several quotes from various dealers here in S. California who agreed to $1500 over invoice on both a 530i and 545i.

But, now I don't know which to choose as I like them both. I test drove both and each has there advantages.

Please help me decide.

The 545 costs more up front and more to drive. What other advantage does the 530 have??? It boils down to how much you want to spend.

i'd get the 545 since the price diff is "only" $5-6k for '05 compare to $11k for '04.
