I finally gave up my 1998 528i in favor of a 2004 545i 6-sp. It was a difficult decision I had to make, granted that the ol' 98 had 151k miles and was still going strong. But once I was in the 545i, I wondered what took me so long.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. Will be posting pics soon.

Here are a few pics of the 2004 545i... short of some new rims.
Too many out there to choose from; I just know I'm looking for
light-forged rims of high quality. Any suggestions are welcome.
