Time say Goodbye and Thank you.
#1
Well the time has come to return my 04? 545i back to BMW in 2 weeks (lease end). I?d like to thank everyone on this forum for some great discussions and priceless feedback and knowledge. I?ve enjoyed my time with the 545i but since I got my SL55 the few shortcomings of the E60 have become more glaring and therefore I?ve decided not to get another E60 for now. Also, It doesn?t look like I?ll be get another BMW this time either but I will lurk this forum from time to time and keep up on the latest?s happenings.
In appreciation from what I?ve gained from this forum I?d like to offer some items from the 545i at a great deal. I have the rear red reflectors, and Weathertec trunk liner and a brand new K&N filter. The asking price? Only 1$, my way of saying thank you. Also, as you can see from the pictures I had purchased a set of 19? BBS RXII wheels with Pilot Sport A/S tires. One of the wheels (Back Right) was scuffed up in a NYC garage (can be repaired or replaced) and 2 others have very slight dings. Overall the wheels are true and look great. I paid over $5,000 new but will take a measly $1,500 for all four at this time. I think it?s a great deal. The only thing I ask is you pick them up. The wheels are BBS so they are lighter than stock and very strong. I live about 17 miles from NYC in Westchester County. Please PM me if interested. And thanks for everything.
Regards,
- Al

Hey, I may be leaving but not for the AMG....I still need a replacement company car for the 545i, I'm just not ready for another E60 right now. Considering an S6 but I can wait several months and then in the spring, at the latest, I'll get something.
