            Take those rims off and put the ///M Paralells back on immediately. Other than that, absolutely great.

                  Is there a NEED for a water cooler ALTERNATOR? If so, please tell me!

                  That is a dead sexy car! Does M-Sport mean it just has M5 body panels and interior bits?

                                Wow - thanks for all of the comments, guys. I'll try to answer all of the questions...

                                The wheels are cheap in fact. They actually look really nice in person, but I'd honestly rather have the M-parallels. That's just what the car came with. I think I'll eventually use them as a winter wheel and get some nicer 19's.

                                Yeah - definitely a highway monster, which is why I bought it. Smooth ride, quiet, but sporty feel. The first day I had a hard time keeping it under 100 mph. I've been getting between 20 and 25 mpg at about 85 mph, and I put about 600 miles on it this weekend.

                                The 540 M-Sport uses several styling cues from the M5, but I believe it also has the M5 aluminum suspension on it. I know it definitely sits lower than a standard 540. Also, the sports package on all 540s installs a 3.15 rear diff for quicker acceleration.

                                My job - I'm a lead engineer for a growing company that completes / modifies / refurbs private and corporate jets.
