as for all you V8's....are you sure your not just compensating for other short comings? 
Plus, my other car is a ~500HP monster, so I figured I'd better have at least SOME power in this thing, otherwise I'd end up less than 100% satisfied.
I must say, I enjoy driving the 545 more than the other car. Less queaks, rattles, smoother ride, and it's an automatic. The other car, it seems like I spend the entire time shifting, literally. The gears are way too short.

Most deinitely not. At first I wanted a 530xi, but I couldn't find one (in my price range) for the life of me that had all the options in it that I deemed non-negotiable (sport, cold weather, NAV). Then I found this 545, had every option I wanted (and then some), and the price was right, AND maintenance was included.

You spend all your days with the two things guys love the most.
We are not worthy, we are not worthy.
We are not worthy, we are not worthy.
