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: maxhonda99 (Jan 16, 2007 1:38 am) Anyone want to guess at the price tag? According to Lexus, the added "F" treatment will also be offered on other models in the future, so my guess is that the added "F" premium could possibly be an indication of what to expect on those other models as well.

Replying to: merc1 (Jan 16, 2007 8:42 am) Sorry, hpowders... while your posts are typically brilliant (which goes without saying), it was in fact merc1 that I was quoting.  Keep the respect, however.  TagMan

If it's not, I'll pass on driving one. Not looking for 15 mpg. Anybody who needs some extra room and wants the real deal in BMW handling and decent mpg should check out the 530ix wagon instead. |

HDMI connections usually work, but when they don't, there's no way to fix it. Thank the glorious movie studios for that. Unfortunately you cannot depend on component video connections for too much longer. The studios have decided not to cripple the high def discs over component yet, but they will, you can be sure of that. They didn't create the image constraint token not to use it. |

Replying to: anthonyp (Jan 16, 2007 1:50 pm) Seriously Tony, thank you very much for the nice compliment! I have to tell you, on the west side of Florida, I think I have seen 3 other Bangle 5 Series other than my own: 1 525, 1 530 and 1 550. Also the "regulars" on I75 have given up trying to pass me. Always a good sign. The astonishing power of a great BMW 4.4 liter, 325 hp, 32-valve V-8 engine sure helps! As a matter of fact I have only seen 1 A8 within the last year on the road. Upscale Audis are scarcer than BMWs over here. BMWs and Audis of choice here are the 3 Series and A4. It's great to be driving a scarce vehicle, at least in this neck of the Florida woods. I have my first scheduled maintenance (oil change) scheduled for Thursday morning. This after driving it for 18 flawless months. The 545i has made me very  !
