When I ordered my 545i, 14 months ago. I got to pick out everything I wanted in the car. Put down $1000 and waited 5 months for arrival. When I got the car, they had made a mistake on my interior trim choice and also with the exterior color. I wanted silver gray but I got titanium..Which was OK, I ended up liking titanium more then silver gray. I wanted anthracite trim, they got me poplar wood. It was a mess. Im tired of this dealer.

Now Im planning on getting an M5. I have to have it... You can't say you've owned a BMW, if you haven't owned an E60 M5. I seen some of these videos roaming the web. Un-F**Ken Beliveable.. The SounDs, the curves, the "thought" alone.. WoW. This body style has to be my favorite yet. Sooo, back to the picture.

Anyone in SoCal put a pre-order in? anyone recommend a dealer other then Savage BMW. Im tired of them. I need someone honest, negotiable or at MSRP.

i haven't owned an m5 and i'd love to have one. but i need to hit a jackpot first . in the meantime, do you mind to help my monthly payment?

i don't think you can negotiate for a m5 because of it's rareness. but it's not hurt to try .

Hey "alohalc" at the moment I cant offord it either. But I've come up with a way to possibly make the payment. Im going to sell my classic 2002tii and then half the junk in my garage and then make my wife get a better Job. With all that in hand, Ill trade in my 545 and pay the difference. This way I try to keep the payments about the same or maybe a little bit higher. Thats if the cars MSRP will go for $80k here in the US... Ive been reading the other posts and people are saying something like $100k Plus....I hope thats not true. Like someone else said "Id rather buy a used Ferrari"! $100k is overpriced. I think if our economy breaks into a deep recession the next year or so after the elections. I think the $100k price tag will change for the US market... Lets just hope we can get it at $80k.

my plan is sell my gf . so that i can get rid of her and get a little bid of cash . well, maybe i need to pay for someone to take her . so this plan will probably cost me more .

i think the car is in high $80,000's to $90,000's. after you add a little options, tax, fees, and accessories. it'll be about $100k .

When I add a little options it'll be more likely 150,000 USD...
