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

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit).

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

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