My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC. Dinan Performance Software 384hp & 421 ft/lbs.
Unfortunatley since we are voting on a computer, on the internet, in a forum - the age bias here will be younger. I saw somewhere that the average age for a 545 owner was 50+ and annual income averages over $250,000/year.

My dealer said, when I ordered mine, he allready had ordered three other 545i E60's, and I am the OLDEST customer to purchase one through him.

Maybe outside the US the demographics are different. Either way we have to be younger than our Mercedes counterparts. I've had two Mercedes and three BMW's, my wife doesn't like me to get the Mercedes anymore because she feels its an older persons car.

I think the 50+ and 250K/year is a little high, but 40+ and 150K/year sounds right.
However, the older Guys ARE driving MB's, so the MB is an older persons car, for a lot of people. The younger drivers usually prefer BMW's and Audi's.
Foreigners seem to like the MB's though. And offcourse the cabs are (90%) MB's in Germany.
We have that little joke in Germany: If I wanna ride a MB, I call a cab !

? Who'll buy? Varies by model. 525i will be 50% men; 530, 70% men; 545i, 90% men. Typical age: 47. Typical household income: $150,000. Just 37% will have kids; 35% will have post-graduate degrees.

That was for 525's, 530's and 545's combined, I can't find it but it sounds right that the 545 buyer would be older and wealthier.
