Test drive all of the cars mentioned in this thread & get back to us after your experience with each.
Don't like the M3 Sedan as much as the coupe and that is a couple of grand more expensive, though with the current market and the discounts on the M3's.........

I think the styling on the current 5 series is just so so. I wish I could wait until the new 5 series comes out (Fall 2009?) but my GS lease will be well over by then.

Unless you get another GS but you already have one and know what it is like already..

Your passing up on some dynamic rides.. Pre-owned E60 M5 will make any driving enthusiast drool..



Good luck with your choice..

Amen! My opinion never buy brand new. I went on auto trader right now and found an 05 RL for $24k. I also found an 06 M5 for 51k with 19k miles

Might consider a used M5, but I would only buy CPO and with an extended warranty.
