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.

If you love driving, you will find there is nothing comparable in its price range across the BMW line. Remember, the cheaper the BMW, the better the performance. Perhaps you should be thinking of going for a post-graduate degree! Yeah, well, at the moment, I'm going into Broadcast Journalism (not a high-paying field, but I aboslutely LOVE it)...maybe I'll be lucky enough to make the big time and make some actual $, and buy a Bimmer. And I've always heard the more basic the BMW, the better!

Replying to: thegraduate (Nov 16, 2006 10:12 am) One of our regular posters here has one, in addition to his high-end stable. I plan to test drive the EX V6 sometime soon. PS: 1.You can get a low-mileage 2003 325i for less than $25k. 2. I have read your informative posts over on the various Accord threads for quite a while. Good to see you here!

Replying to: tagman (Nov 16, 2006 10:46 am) I am seriously thinking of going back to the 3-Series. The 545 just doesn't have the same thrill in the corners. Dewey seems to be very happy with his. I still have many months to think about it. I would do the 335i coupe, not the sedan. I love the look of the coupe....unless BMW comes out with some diesel models in 2008. One thing about BMW's, I never have issues with the seat, steering wheel, foot well or console. Always perfect. A real pleasure. At this point in time, half-way through my lease, I can decisively say, for my next vehicle...I am completely indecisive. Hope your PT is helping you feel better! |

TMC recall of 54,000 vehicles for spontaneous combustion. I guess that "reliability" argument has now gone up in flames . . . literally.  I'd rather have a Mercedes and risk some mechanical trouble than risk being grilled well-done in one of these babies. Source: link title TagMan

Tagman and Howard, Among almost every manufacturer of HELCs small is not beautiful. Less is not more. A small Jag (X), a small Lexus (IS), a small Cadillac (CTS), and a small Benz (C Class) just does not cut it IMO. While a large BMW in the form of a 7 series does not seem to be as representative of its marque as the S Class is to the Benz marque. I love my 335i far more than the 530xi touring that my wife now drives on a full-time basis. In the case of Bimmers small is beautiful. Less is more. |
