You have to e-mail 5-10 dealers to take into consideration that some dealerships will not respond.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 18, 2005 7:29 am) I ordered. My thinking was that if I asked for a "typical" 545, it would be equipped with sports package. Cars like that are a dime a dozen sitting on dealers lots, many since January-March when a lot of people were reporting software problems with their new 545's. I did not want to be stuck with one of those vehicles. So I asked for comfort seats, something I knew the dealer would have a hard time finding in a 545 sitting on someone's lot. Sure enough, no such vehicle could be located in Florida and the order was submitted to the factory to be built sometime in August. By ordering the comfort seats, I believe I will be getting a vehicle free of annoying software glitches since all updates will have been done on a fresh new vehicle. Since my 2002 325i lease is up on August 2nd, I will probably have to extend my old lease 1 month while I wait for my new 545i. No problem since I will be renting my new car for only 2.4% and car loans are going for around 4.5%. Regards, hpowders

Is anyone aware of an iPod integration device (other than the useless FM transmitters) that enables an iPod to be connected to the sound system of a 5 series car? Also, when connecting a bluetooth enabled phone, what functions exactly is one able to use? i.e., does the phone use the car's audio system to provide hands-free useage? |

Replying to: hpowders (Jun 18, 2005 9:04 am) You kinda left that part out ..l.o.l.. ... all do respect Hp, but you could have walked into any Bimmer store from Atlanta to Miami and received that kind of deal on an ordered vehicle .. remember, most Bimmer stores only sell 80/90 vehicles a month and most times they can't afford selling current inventory for alot less money ..... an ordered vehicle.? those they can deal with, especially on a 545 .... Terry.

Replying to: rroyce10 (Jun 18, 2005 6:26 pm) I would have thought that the dealer would want to move his current inventory out. What do you think is a good price on ordering a 545i? How much over invoice? |
