While that 545 engine will make the 535i look anemic (I have a 2012 535i that I bought brand new now), and it has better suspension (if like my 2005 model) you will be paying for repairs soon no matter which car you end up with. Since you've only had the 545 for a month you probably are not as intimate with it's performance like I was after owing one for 5 years, but the F10 is not an E60: looks better, but doesn't perform better. You really need to love what you'd going to be driving, because it will cost you more money down the road either way.
Ya I decided not to get it cause the mileage and the fact it sold in the first day it was listed .I'll just wait until the right one comes along . I'm enjoying my 545i but I'll be transferring to an Elk Grove dealership in around 6 months for work so my commute will bump to 45 mins per day and the fuel economy on the 545i is not very good .
