Sedans High End Luxury Cars
24700 messages, Last post on Dec 01, 2009 at 12:24 PM
You are in the Sedans Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
Let's try to define this forum as being limited to luxury performance vehicles where the mainstream version in a typical configuration has an MSRP of at least $60k.
A luxury vehicle with a base price of $59k qualifies because it would typically be bought with some additional equipment, bringing the MSRP over $60k.
Vehicles like the E, 5, A6, M, or GS, even if available in certain versions over $60k, don't qualify because they are cars from companies that have higher end cars in their lineups.

Replying to: pat (Sep 19, 2006 3:38 pm) liberal? . . . Heck, I'd hard wire it, if it were possible. No one edits more than the TagMan! Well . . . maybe hpowders! But, truly THANKS for pointing out the preview feature. I'll give it a try. Maybe it'll prevent such liberal use of the Edit feature. TagMan

Replying to: pearl (Sep 19, 2006 5:45 pm) It is way too complicated and believe it shows extreme arrogance on BMW's part not to listen to all the negative press and consumer complaints. I consider myself reasonably intelligent, (although I have been known to edit a post or two) and have given up switching between AM and FM stations. I just keep it on FM. When the auto mags and regular folk criticized Lexus for the electronic meddling, they listened and now provide an off switch. It would be nice if BMW would get off its high horse and listen to the folks, admit it made a mistake and provide a more user friendly system. And if they refuse to do that, at the very least they should move to make it an option across the entire line.

Replying to: hpowders (Sep 19, 2006 1:52 pm) I can live with that slogan as long as they introduce gorgeous cars like the new BMW 3 series coupe. IMO this car is the best looking coupe since the E34 635i . The current 6 series coupe has to be the most hideous looking coupe in BMW history. In fact it kind of looks like an overweight Toyota Solara.

Replying to: hpowders (Sep 19, 2006 6:09 pm) And if they refuse to do that, at the very least they should move to make it an option across the entire line. Well, according to the article, the iDrive is supposed to be more user friendly. So, it would appear that the iDrive will be tamed right along with the styling. Oh, by the way, has anyone mentioned that the new styling looks sort of, well . . . elegant? Uh oh, let's see now, do I need to use that edit button again? Ah yes, there we go . . . that's 3 edits already! TagMan |

Replying to: drfill (Sep 19, 2006 10:27 am) Yes as Lexus styling becomes more agressive , the styling of BMWs is becoming somehat homely (or elegant as Tagman would say) Personally I can live with homely styling as long as this homeliness does not spread to BMW performance/handling specs. And yes I will confess that I like the new styling of the new LS a real lot.

Replying to: dewey (Sep 19, 2006 6:51 pm) It never has been a major priority with me, but after viewing those high resolution photos of the new MDX interior and then sitting in my 545, there is much room for improvement in the latter. As far as driveability is concerned, not to worry. BMW's will always be among the best.
