My Ride: 05 545i / Titanium Gray Metallic / Logic7 / Nav
Yeah, so I thought I was going through a downgrade when I traded in my 2006 cls500 for a 2005 545i.
God, was I wrong! This thing is so fun to drive that I am disappointed it took me so long to get on board.
Anyway, I've been lurking for a while and everyone here has my compliments on being quick to answer questions accurately.
Thanks for having me!
