2005 BMW 545i loaded with every option available. I bought this car 4 years ago after a diligent search. My requirements were: 6 speed manual, CPO, history with NO Idrive faults, no wrecks, immaculate condition, all options and Titanium Grey with grey leather. I would love to keep it and drive it forever but sadly I am having knee problems and it is uncomfortable to drive this beast in town. Besides routine maintenance, a water pump and an idler pulley replacement this has been a very low maintenance vehicle for almost 70,000 miles I have owned it. Most of my miles are highway.Nice simple description why this car is awesome:After market CORSA Exhaust. Does not drone at all on the highway and sounds unbelievable when you get on it. At normal driving is not to loud....but just enough to know that there is something different. Brand new Continental tires. Less than 500 miles. $900!!!Factory short throw shit linkage and new ZHP shit weighted shift knob. Shifts like a brand new car!Paint and interior look unbelievable for the age of the car. Please look at all of the picturesNon-smoker, no eating and drinking rule in the car and no pets ever rode in it.Sports package, navigation, logic 7 sound. Loaded!There is no way you car for the money than this one.I am a perfectionist. The first person that sees this car will buy it.Crazy acceleration and handling with a wonderful ride.Amazing enough it gets great gas mileage. My record is 29 MPG on the highway!!!$57,000 original MSRP!!!Check out the review from car and driver if you just discovered this awesome car. So much good but just a little bad:It has been in a very minor accident that may or may not show up on car fax. The day after I bought the car I had another car brush against the driver side of the car lightly. There was no frame damage and I actually drove the car back 500+ miles to get home. The total repair was $1,700. I have a copy of the repair estimate if you would like to review it. I took it to the local Mercedes dealership that has the best body shop in town. The paint matches perfectly, there is no overspray or tape lines. You would have to be a used car dealership manager or body shop manager to see that it has ever been in an accident. The power steering has a very slow seep. Every once in a while you will get an active steering fault in the winter or when it is really cold out. It rarely does it when it is warm. If the fault will clear when you eventually stop and restart the car. You should be able to have this fixed at 100% for $500-$700. (Think about free brand new tires that you did not pay for!) :)This is an awesome car and is up on its service and in fantastic condition.
