Chief Black Bimmer 
2005 BMW 5 Series Sedan 545i 4dr Sedan (4.4L 8cyl 6M)
Passes Anything INCLUDING gas stations
 When I was a kid, I had a 1968 Pontiac GTO, which could pass just about anything but a gas station.  My new BMW 545 will pass that Goat, and gas stations, too (I get 18-19 mpg in town, 26-28 on the interstates).  In fact, largely due to its wonderful 6- speed Steptronic transmission, it actually gets better gas mileage than my other Bimmer, a 2004 330 coupe with 5-speed auto.  The much-reviled iDrive is easy to master if you take the time to study the owner's manual.  I have little sympathy for the whiners who invest $50K+ on a terrific vehicle, but not several hours to read the manual. IDrive will be your friend if you let it.  Ride and Handling - outstanding, as expected.
