 Just Ordered My New 545



I decided to order a 545 now rather than wait for the 550 in September. Reason: I can get the car sooner, and I save a bundle on the lease rate. Money factor of .001 on the 2005 e60 amounts to a loan at 2.4 % interest, hard to pass up. I'm doing this as a reverse purchase - plan to buy the car in 3 years and am financing the depreciation.

My vehicle: Orient Blue, Black interior, sport, Steptronic, Cold Weather, NAV, Sirius, Logic7, Comfort Seats, Sunshades. Now the 2-month wait begins!

Thanks to all the 'Festers who provide encouragement to incipient Bimmer owners like myself!

I agree -- Congrats!

I'm hoping to take the plunge soon, too, and order a 530xiT. I wish the lease rates were as good on those. What do you think of Amethyst Gray with Auburn/Black interior? That's what I'm thinking of getting. I would get Premium and Cold Weather packages, comfort seats, NAV, park assist, and maybe a couple other goodies (Sirius -- can I get it with NAV?). What about being able to put an iPod in AUX with Sirius and NAV?

I basically did the same thing with my E39 6 years ago..... built a spreadsheet to prove to myself that the Lease now and Buy later was the best decision..... it also kept my payments down.

In hind sight..... I think a low interest Home Equity Loan may have been a smarter way to go. Have you ran the numbers and taken into account the better tax return and divide that by 12 to figure into your adjusted (lower) monthly payments......?

Hey, order the HUD...it is a totally sweet "toy" to have!

Have you considered doing European Delivery?
