2004 BMW 5-Series: My 545i experience
12/27/07
I got my 545i with 52k miles, so it did not have any warranty left. It is pearl black with black/orange interior, has sport package, 6 speed manual, navigation, xenons, heated seats and steering. The only option I wish it had, is the comfort seats and parktronic. I got sports seats, so it took getting used to the seats. Otherwise, I cannot complain about anything. Great handling, acceleration, and braking. I don't see what is the issue with the idrive that most reviews complain about. The menu is clear and the controller is easy to use. I spend a lot of time driving, so I wanted to enjoy it and this car is the perfect solution. I had it for about half year and put on about 10k miles. During this time, I changed oil ($80 at any no BMW mechanic) and per BMW manual recommendation, changed brake fluid ($20 + my fluid). If you are handy, this car is easy to maintain yourelf. Overall I enjoy this car and recommend it to anybody who is looking for a great daily transport.
