How many miles do you have on your 545i? Have you had any major problems with it?

Long time no chat Don. Welcome back!
You might want to change the title of your thread. It says 535 isntead of 335.
Looking forward to your quarter mile runs with the new car.

BrianTx5: I have just a tad over 24k--far short of my allowed 30k. I have had absolutely no major problems with my 5. The battery died this month after three years, and I once had to have the transmitter for my keys replaced. The only real annoyance with my car has been the quality of the software updates. Often it is one step forward and two back. The last one, whatever it was, was terrible. I have just been ignoring it since my car was due to be returned soon.
535i on this thread.

I am looking at an M Roadster. Not sure if I'll get it. I like the car, but it is a bit loud with the top up at speed. Second, as with other top performing BMW's, the gas mileage is not good--14 and 22 mpg.

European Car has a Z4M coupe as a long term tester. They have put 20,000 miles on it and have averaged a combined 22 mpg.
