Wow, just playing around on their site http://www.bmwusa.com/ a loaded 530 can be 63k. It can be 66k with diff wheels. It starts at 45k

The 545 manual starts at 58k. Loaded over 71k. I got it to 75k with diff. wheels.

Amazing. The current M5 is 72k

 

yup, a loaded v8 for bimmer and mb aren't cheap. even the e500, if you get it fully loaded, you looking at 70k too

that's why the gs430 is such a steal

 

That kind of cash will put you in an LS430 with the Ultra-Luxury package.
The LS beats the S-class and 7-series and yet only cost as much as the
middle class models from BMW & Benz.

 

A E500 can get to $70K just because they have some overpriced options.

Just the AMG sports package (different wheels, body kit & exhaust) cost $5K. But you can easily spend $5K modding your GS, just on wheels alone.

 

and packages like the glass roof, the engine start, and then speedtronic (??) are so damn expensive too

 

It's the Distronic, similar function to the LS430's laser cruise control.

Although for a comparable car, the GS4 is definitely a better value, the E500 does offer some options not available in the current GS4 though, that's why if you get a fully optioned one, it seems so much more expensive than the GS.

 

damn.......then how much is an E55 fully loaded?

 

I have seen E55's upward of $95k. But that cars the ULTIMATE sleeper. But for $95k its almost exotic territory and I dont know why someone would spend that much for a Benz if they can get a used 911 Turbo for the same price. No brainer right there... well unless you want the back seats and a more refined feel.

 

Hey Sick, are you looking to go to the dark side??

 

LOL, Highly doubtful I'm guessing.

if you find one at sticker i think it's about 88k?
