 This is my second BMW.  My first was a 3 Series which I also enjoyed.  The only reason I traded in my 3 series was due the pressure from my husband to upgrade.  Once I drove my 545 just a few times I fell in love.  I have never loved a car until I drove this car.  I'm a mom and this car was my compromise to Momhood.  I have room for three kids in back.  Tons of trunk room and a sports car to drive.  Yippee.  The only bad part is I don't get to play with it very often because I'm usually hauling kids.
