545 automatic...silver gray/black sports & prem package....20" staggered maya wheels....fit PERFECTLY (compared to the 20's i had on my e39)...there are more pics which i will try to attach to my personal area (when you click on my username).....the pic files were large about 2mb a piece...had to scale em down before posting using software....doing all this is HARDER than learning my i-drive..
