trade assist ... is the way i went.
i ordered the car with a few more options ... all i paid for was list price on the aditional options ... if i wouldn't have gotten anything else .. it would've been a straight trade NO MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET.

BMW is a premium luxury car and they must keep up to their promises!!!
I also have some good experience of this.

You think just because this is Florida it doesn't get down to a low of 5*C/40*F here during the winter? well you're wrong .. it does get that cold ... ! ;-)
i just like it ... i drive home late usually ... i work late alot of nights .. & just like the warmth on my back ... its soothing. i have had back issues for year ... and am only 21 .. crazy.

[/quote]Don't forget Florida includes NORTH Florida. Can get in low teens (F) for many days on end. Plus we might travel into those cold states of Georgia and Alabama. Whew, just thinking of it makes me shiver..
Check my signature - Cold Wx Pkg (well at least COOL WX)

yeah, i know .. i was just being sarcastic ... i used to live up in ATL .. and travel back&forth all EVERY WEEKEND ... lots of miles i racked up that way ... but yes, north florida does get snow on occasion during the winter .. and does get cold. even down here we get 2-3 times during the winter where it gets into the 20's *F ... but that is pushing it.
that is actually one of the reasons why i got it .. planning on going up into the mountains this winter ... as i do almost every year with friends.

If you want reliability, go for GS430. If you want performance, go for 550i.

[/quote]I have had my 545I for 4 months now, with about 8500 miles on it. I have had zero problems other than 2 tranny slams that seem to be fixed with 18.01. Is it me, or does the 530 seem to be more problematic than the 545. I am very happy with my ride so far, and you should be too. I would attempt a trade. It seems as if everyone involved is pretty empathetic.

Oops. You do have a 545. Same answer still applies.
