My wife and I just picked up a 2005 545i about two weeks ago. I've always thought BMW were overpriced and not worth the money until I drove one. I told my wife I should trade my modded RX8 in for a M3. She told me I should try to get a 135. I will consider it next year.....hopefully any issues with the 1 series will be worked out by then. I added a few pics for you all to enjoy. The first one is the day we brought it home. The second & third pics are the custom fibergalss box I built over the weekend....sorry the pics came out a bad it was starting to get dark out. The fourth pic is the 20" MRR GT-5 wheels I added this afternoon.

Congratulations and welcome to the Forum.
Your car looks great.
You were thinking of an M3, your wife suggested a 135i and you ended up with a 545i!! How did that happen?

Here are some better pics of the custom sub box I made. Sorry the last one came out a little blurry. There are a few other things I plan on making for the new ride.
