I wouldn't mind having them but I also wouldn't mind selling them. It's probably just the fact that they sit in my office all day and haunt me that I've even considered this. They are currently for sale on e60.net

Yea i think i wanted to go with 20s.
I chose the staggered setup for the 545 cause i thought it would give it a real aggressive look. Thought that maybe it would do the same for the is350. Ive got months to really think hard about these wheels and many mods to do before then.

The 5 is in a class with the Lexus GS and Mercedes E class.
The IS is in a class with the BMW 3 series and Mercedes C class.
I don't know if the OP had any performance modifications for his car, but stock for stock the only thing the IS350 has over the BMW 545 is more powerful acceleration (particularly from 0), but acceleration isn't everything when determining "class."
Well, the other thing the IS350 has is that it'll almost certainly be far more reliable.
That said, a BMW 5 series is still a BMW 5 series. I love the latest generation. Always loved the look overall.

i was thinking of the 525 model but regardless...the 545 only has like 20 more hp and pretty much the same options as the is350...not to mention that he got rid of a 03 04 or 05 and got like a 06 07 or 08. And to me the IS looks better...especially the interior. yea it might be a downgrade on paper but "what a downgrade" is not really a justifiable comment imho.
