Anyone thinking of a 5 series upgrade?

Bimmer Al · 04-08-2010, 04:04 PM

Curious with the new 5 er looking and apparently handling like a 3, would anyone consider moving up a notch? I have not traditionally liked larger cars, but the idea is intriguing.

i'm considering but it all comes down to cost and rates

hate the look.. bmw's been bombing with the designs recently..

new 7 and 5 GT is also ugly..

I would if I were older (Ie. 30's)

3 is a little too common anyways.

But drives well...5 looks nice, the new one. I'm sure hte new 3 will look nice.

Once my 3 is paid off, I'll likely get the wife a 5 - as the family car.

I might consider it for my next car, but that won't be for about 3 years.

Yes. The S5 that is

yes, looking to get a GT in the next year or so

Negative.

Moved from an E34 540i/6 (because I love the classic lines, and the size/power that an E30 didn't have) to the 335d, and don't regret it for a second. The 335d has the same, if not slightly more, interior room than the 540i - and the performance is better, while getting 50% better mileage.
