Been a Mustang fanatic my whole life. Recently snagged a 2004 545i (48K) and all I can say is "Fricken WOW". I'm even considering selling my 94' Supercharged 347 Cobra to mod up my new ride. Any way, for now I face the dilema of rims or an extended warranty (I dont think an old 5.0L mechanic stands a chance under a german hood) Anyway, check out the pics. I picked it for $18K (Orient Blue/Tan) , has seat pack, Logic 7 audio, Cold Weather, Shades, 1 owner and is cherry ass mint, looks to be woman driven (I like to imagine some hot MILF). Ill see you cats round!

Thanks for the hospitable welcome. Right now I have about $2200 for either a warranty or rims. Help me figure out how to spend it. Anyone bought an extended warranty or know of any good reputable companies. How is the overall reliabilty (Drivetrain, Electrical) on a 545?

Another little tid bit. I live in Houston and had to fly to Dalls to get the car. See if you can recognize who I spotted in the airport.

Sorta made for a kick ass day, between meeting my childhood hero and getting my car, my new passion.

Mine was a 1990 LX 5.0. What a sleeper.
