After enjoying my 545 for the last 19 months, I have to say I wanted more.
The M5 is the car of my dreams, and I have always wanted one.
I saw an M5 at BMW Toronto that was stunning. It was a display model at BMW headquarters in Canada that they just decided to sell. It has 70 km on it, and looks gorgeous. It's Silverstone with Black interior.
I was able to get out of my lease with no penalty.
I can't wait to drive it. I better start saving up for some gas money. (22 km/100L!)
I will give more details and pictures soon.

CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm envious!!
I've been thinking of trading in my 545 also and maybe get a slightly used M5. Been "negotiating" with the wife for couple months now. haha

Great car, excellent choice.

I recently went in the RingTaxi M5, which confirmed to me that the M5 is still well and truely my dream car - especially when driven as it was at the Ring

To me it sounds like you need to do a road trip to the other side of the continent to get past that break-in period ASAP!
Congratulations and enjoy...
