Hi everyone. Today's a remarkable today. I registered for the first time to this forum and I bought a 545i. Fortunate for me it was part of a dealer shipment so I will only need to wait 30 days or so (I hope!). I found this site to be a key educational tool in the buying process - thanks to everyone for contributing to the best e60 resource on the web.

Thanks wassy and alohalc. I guess I could have managed a better deal but I was weak. I got $1000 better than Blue Book on my 323i trade-in and $750 off MSRP on the 545i. They did not have a 545i at the dealer today but instead I drove a 2005 530i and 2003 M5 for an hour or so.

Tell them you're going to cancel unless you get $2500 off MSRP.
