First pictures set is original. Wanted to try bigger ones, for firmer ride. Winter (spike) tires are not on alloys. In Finland road authority pours salt on the icy roads in winter and that makes alloys look terrible.

Wow, 15% unhappy with the car is quite high IMO. Wonder what the major problems are. I could not be happier with my 545i 6sp.

I am extremely happy with my May 06 build 545. I have 3,500 miles on it with no problems. It is a great car in all respects.
