First Post! 05 545 on way to dealer in Mn. Will arrive this week. Silver gray w/gray interior. All options, but sport. What should I replace stock wheels and tires with, really don't want to spend over 2K. Also how do I unload the stock wheels/tires and what is fair price. Thanks!

I would keep them. The non-sport 545i wheels are nice IMO. That's just me. If you wanted baller wheels and tires you would have gotten the sport package I presume. Also, you live in Illinois which can be tough on really low profile wheels.

Traded in my 04 530 for the 545. Could not get sport anytime soon and I am in chemo w/ distinct possibility I won't be worrying about any Illinois winters. Would like to put some 19's on the car. Any suggestion?

I'm right there with you.
Can't decide on 19's or 20's, though I know I really wsnt the BBS LM. Just not man enough to pay for em. BTW, anyone have some pictures of them on an E 60? Lots of the BMW OE wheels are nice too. And although the OE BMW wheels are pretty nice, I'm like you, I just want to separate my car from all the others just a bit. Keep us posted.
