  BMW545i - 2005 BMW 5-Series

  I love everything about the car but the iDrive control. Gas mileage is far less than stated on the sticker.

  545: Drive it, buy it. - 2005 BMW 5-Series
  By Salberts - April 8 - 7:08 pm

  I did. I was bored. It was rainy. I had the kids. I decided to test drive the new 5. Since I owned (and loved) a 530i (2002), I had no intention of buying the new model. Long story short, I test drove a 545, and I was sold. Not only is power, cornering, and ride vastly superior to the prior 5, the interior and trunk is larger, and the interior is better laid out. After a few minutes of minor haggling, the papers were signed and I was behind the wheel of a new silver grey 545i beauty. I drove it all weekend. Even the kids enjoyed it.

  The 545i is the finest vehicle Ive ever owned... Sports car like feel in speed and handling, luxurious and comfortable for extended trips... With extremely attractive styling, other drivers always staring at it...

  Best mid-size sport sedan out now - 2005 BMW 5-Series

  This car has delivered...and more. I have never enjoyed a car as much as this. Everything is just great. Sure the cupholders could be better, but this is otherwise German engineering at its finest.
