"I wasn't sure if I should get the big V8 with the current gas prices, but I am sure glad I did. I have a lot of fun using the power, and I am still getting 21.5 MPG in Atlanta trafic with my 545i. Don't buy a BMW without trying the comfort seat option, because they are awesome. The comfort seats have the wings that wrap around your neck, and the side support. Awesome power, handling, and comfort! Nothing beats a BMW!"

"As one of the most powerful 5 series ever made, this BMW E60 comes with a 4.4 liter V8 engine that produces 325hp/330tq, seats 5 full sized adults, and can haul 4 ppl and overtake any fixed up wannabe's. Comfort, styling, and interior room are high points of this car; of course, since it is a V8 the gas mileage suffers unless you go lightly on the gas pedal (but every BMW begs to be driving hard, and this one is no exception). Overall it is a great tourer and a family sedan that has the character!"

"My 540i got totalled after 5 years of ownership and I just couldnt see myself straying far away from the 5 series. So I decided to buy the e60 2004 BMW 545i and man have I been loving it. Its much bigger than my old car yet its lighter and has more power. It is a joy to drive! The seats are very comfortable and the features list compared to other cars is quite extensive. Just like my 540, it has been quite reliable as long as you take care of it. Its only been little sensors here and there but nothing major and all but 1 I've been able to do change myself. If you're looking for the ultimate when it comes to a 4 door car that can play its part in sport, there is nothing that beats the 5 series!"

"My wife an I have also a 2007 335i Twin Turbo, which is an amazing car, so upgrading our 99 528 was a challenge. I was going to get an M5 e39 (2003), but had a change of heart and I don't regret for a single moment! The 545i V8 has tons of power and performance that almost equals the e39 M5, but with the new body, and gadgets . . . plenty of them! As for all BMWs, I believe that the sport suspension is a must; With that said, the 545i manages to deliver an excellent performance suspension without loss of comfort. The comfort seats are absolutely unbelievable! The engine purrs (if you make an effort to hear it from inside the super quiet cabin). I have the Head Up Display, to which I became addicted. Mine is a manual 6-speed transmission and shifts like butter! I did have the CDV altered, so no jerky shifts from 1st to 2nd gear. The sound system (Logic 7) rivals my recording studio! I always go check the mixes in the car! The active suspension is truly remarkable. You can put that big comfy car on a pin curve and it doesn't even tilt! It is a dream car. Better than that, just an e60 M5 ... or the new M5, for that matter! As for the reliability, this is our 11th BMW. From a 1984 320 to now, there is no other way to go, but BMW. Cost of repairs? Which repairs?"

"The car has a very nice design and has a lot of power. It is way better than the 525 and the 530. I bought it when it first came out in Novemver 2003."

"The place I went to was very nice and the staff was friendly and professional. The car was a good price and pretty and drove like a charm but the numerous gadgets were not working properly adn the car had to be jump started just for the test drive. My lesson is the more gadgetry a car has on it and the older the car, run run run. The GPS was chattering constantly and not accurately mapped, sunroof wouldnt close, turn on the AC and got blasted with heat.. nice car but too many expensive things to fix"

"This vehicle allows you to conquer the asphalt in sleek sophisticated style with passing power and on-rails handling. The 545i possess power and agility, and it looks better than the newest 5-series of 2010. The 545i has better handling and fuel economy than the 550i because of its smaller and lighter motor, and is sheer driving pleasure. Skip the navigation on used cars; a hand-held unit is much more up to date."

"I'm a big merc fan but i must say the double vanos and just the pure driving pleaseure that i get out of the 545i or any BMW for that matter can not be touched by Audi, Mercedes or any other premium car brand. The car handles great especially with the dynamic drive. The power is always there when you need it and it is a very comfortable ride still feeling the road. The i drive system i must say was hard to learn but once you learn it, it's great (bluetooth, I pod and vehicle status)"

"I have really enjoyed this car. From the power to the comfort to the styling. Awesome car that provides comforts of a luxury car but the power and handling of a sports sedan."
