Okay here is the deal....My lease is up next year on my coupe and I'm starting to look at the M45 as a replacement. Here is an interesting question for all you coupe lovers...What would you do? One, get the M45 now or get a BMW 550? I want a four door again, and the next coupe/sports car will be a z06. What are you thoughts?

 

hmmm...how about the lexo ls???

 

The new G35 Sedan is definitely on my next car list. As long as they make it with 6MT I'll get it.

 

was not very impressed by the new g sedan, i like my is350, but everyone has their opinions

 

i love the m45 but the beemer 550 demands balla status...go with the 550

 

Drive them then make up your own mind. Everybody has different thoughts on why they drive certain cars ie, big family, distance driven a week, comfort, the most fully loaded interiors, looks etc etc. What is important to you is what counts.

 

BMW 550 all the way...car is amazing!

 

M45 Sport- winner of the Car & Driver showdown

 

I'm going to test drive the M45 after work today and see how I feel about it. I know one thing, the interior of the M45 is definetly hot, versus the 550; which is average. Damn, I can't decide! Let us see what I have to say after the test drive.......

 

M45 Sport w/ Premium package. An equally equipped 550 is going to drop you off around mid $70s, loaded M45 Sport $57K

 

M45 Sport took first place between

BMW 550i
M45 Sport
E550
GS450H

I would go with the M45 over 550i. Like they say, similarly equipped you're looking at saving $15k. Use that and make the M45 a TT M45 :-D

 

just wondering.. if you put any aftermarket parts on a lease vehicle, would warranty be voided? even if it's a simple axle-back exhaust?

 

If you need warranty work, just put your stock exhaust on to be safe.
