Good bye to the GS
With heavy heart sold my GS today, it was trouble free but boring at the same time. So time to move on. Searching for a Bmw 540 "17 driving my wife's GX460 in the meantime.
Had hud, ML sound along with rear dynamic drive and 33k miles.

Sorry to see you go, but at least you'll get to know the people at the BMW repair shop.

Bottom line: Make sure you get the best/longest extended warranty they offer.

At least you didn't sell your car to your wife. LOL
Good luck with the BMW.

You'd probably make great friends at the service waiting area as well seeing you'll be there every few weeks and bound to run into the same BMW owners. And I heard the service counter folks address you by your name because you're there so often.

lmao, I am sure OP is going to have a blast with his new BMW. Hope you were able to get a good trade value and a good deal on the new BMW. I thought the refreshed 5 series is very nice. Good luck!
When this thread had zero response I immediately thought hmmmm this is going to be flooded with comments like "you're going to end up repair shops", "your bimmer will break down in XXXXX miles","you're going to spend $$$ on maintenance" etc. Maybe I shouldn't get too serious about these since this is a forum and everyone can say whatever they want, but frankly I am quite upset to see so many comments like these. Don't get me wrong I personally would never buy BMW over a Lexus, but reliability isn't everything. 5 series sells better than GS for a reason.

Having two co-worker that owned BMW's that spent a lot time in the shop was enough for me to not consider owning one. One of them had a loaner that broke down on him.
