Your ride is looking sweet. Wish my 545 looked like that. What are you asking for it?

It doesn't look finished to me...something is missing...perhaps a Hartge style splitter. Good luck with the sale Jake.

I am not sure...may go with something winter friendly since I am in Kansas where the winters can be a bit of a bitch!
Not sure though...the M5 is enticing for sure.

I think I will price it at 36k. Its a great price, plus you get ALL the factory original parts I took off including wheels and body kit etc...

I think it should sell? Will post it on the wide world of Ebay and see what happens! If it doesnt sell I certainly dont mind hanging on to it.

Jake
