it's a 545i. 550 has a different engine cover which imo doesn't look as nice.

It's a V8 car? Most of the V8 BMWs we get here on the west coast have 18" wheels, so it's odd to see the smaller wheels. Every time I go back East it's strange to see how differently the cars are equipped; for example, the old IS 300 had 16" wheels standard- here in Cali, you'd have a difficult time finding one that DIDN'T have OE 17s.

Of course, you guys have seasons... something we don't have!
they're actually 17s and i agree they look kinda small on the car. 18s are included with the sport package. i rarely see 545 or 550s in my area and whenever i see one they either have the 18s or aftermarket rims. it's my father's car and he likes things stock so the car is not getting 20s anytime soon.

Ahh. I knew it was one of the two V8 models, just couldn't tell the difference b/c I don't think they really changed much between the 2.
