Nice! I would have gone for it but wife doesn’t like the shape of it or suv in general. Prefers sedan

I’ve got a 5 series touring. Just feels like less of an an old ladies car to me. The e interior is a bit nicer, (depending on one’s taste) but the 5 is a better drive, overall.

To lease BMW, to own E Class

Leasing just removes you from the headache and the value of the 5 series after the lease would be much less then the E Class

Are we talking base models or M5 vs E63? They are both solid sedans that will lose a ton of value unless they are the performance oriented versions.

E all the way

E class. It’s going to be much better built and the last thing we need as consultants is to have to spend our weekends with our cars in the shop.

Anyone aware of any E class offers going in right now and best time to lease one?

If u r buyin new, look at Porsche Macan instead. A world of difference in driving experience. Moved from BMW 328i to Porsche Macan S ... Cudnt be happier 😊

I test drove a 5 series, E class then drove a friend’s Porsche Cayenne. Really loved the riding position of a SUV but didn’t wanted to go wit the Bulkier ones like Infinity Q70 or Mazda CX9 ... Drove Alfa Romeo, Jag, Maserati, BMW X5 etc n finally settled Macan S.

The E is an incredible car

3/4 series > C class
E class = 5 series
S class > 7 series

Buy/lease now or defer to Q1-2023?

My car broke (engine seized, 10y old). I am interested in 530i ($62k price), however 3year lease is $1,000+ monthly (with $5k down). Monthly lesse payment is 50% more than bmw advertised offers (“south FL dealers are not participating in the program”)

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).

911 Carrera S vs GTS

I really want to do a low key spec on my next car but it’s almost impossible to spec the GTS without black wheels/accents turning it into a more aggressive looking car.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?
