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.
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.
