do you know how much she had to pay for the convertible? im considering one and still asking people about pricing, nothing good so far

Well her hubby got it for her. I don't think he bought it. He leased it. Since they live in NYC, I thought that was an insane financial decision since leasing in NY requires payment of the sales tax on the full amount of the car even though you're only going to have it for 3 years.   But it's his money to burn.

In NY State, the lease calculates tax based on the total of payments "not" the full cost of the vehicle.
#197 of 283 tax by m4d_cow Dec 07, 2004 (9:38 am)
still insane though, if im not mistaken the tax in ny is around 9% right?

Verizon finally cane out with a Blue tooth phone (Motorola V710). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it to connect to my 05 BMW. Can anyone help? Thanks
#199 of 283 Just got one by shoes Dec 24, 2004 (10:06 am)
I just picked up a 2005 645. I had only wanted one without the sport package or the active steering and my local dealer had one. So far I like it and my only objections are due to the run flat tires which I find too stiff and the I drive, which I find complicates simple tasks like directing the airflow from the HVAC.   Handling is very good, engine note is glorious and the transmission nice and crisp. I hear there is new V8 coming next year with around 400HP, which might make this car even more interesting.

Replying to: shoes (Dec 24, 2004 10:06 am) Congrats on your new 6. Nice to see you're still around. If I remember correctly, your last few cars were SLs, right? I've driven the current generation SL. How does it compare to the 6? Is yours a coupe or conv? Replies to this message: shoes (Dec 24, 2004 2:49 pm) cornellpinoy (Dec 24, 2004 3:11 pm) shoes (Dec 24, 2004 3:37 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: cornellpinoy (Dec 24, 2004 12:44 pm) I have the coupe, because I just don't like the rear of the convertible (I know the coupe isn't a lot better, but it is a little better without the slit rear window). The BMW is, not surprisingly, more athletic than the SL. The SL is very capable but more relaxed in its demeanor (except for the SL55 which is more raucous). I actually find the build quality a touch better in the BMW, fewer rattles than the SL (some of which are due to the retractable hardtop). With the BMW, there is I-drive to dislike. With the SL, it is those awful sensotronic brakes. Overall, I would say the SL is the more complete package, but it is also much more expensive and less fun to drive. If you value the driving experience most, the BMW could be the right car for you.   The better car than either of these two is my CL600, which of course is incredibly expensive and should be better. Once you drive that twin turbo V-12, you never want to go back to mere V-8's. Boy am I spoiled or what?

Replying to: shoes (Dec 24, 2004 2:49 pm) I once read that every driver should experience a V12. There's no doubt I'll do so one day. I'm sure that twin-turbo 12 is a hard act to follow.   I defintely feel the same way about the I-drive. I've driven the S430, S500 and 745i. The 7 is more a driver's car and but I found the interior so un-intuitive. I'm into gadgets and thought I'd have no problems with I-drive. Boy was I wrong - I am not a fan of the interior controls at all. The S class interior was such a cinch to figure out in comparison. But without ABC, the S has too much body roll for my taste. I'm sure the 6 is a better handling car compared to the sedans.   Enjoy your new ride and let us know how it holds up.

Replying to: cornellpinoy (Dec 24, 2004 3:11 pm) ABC is a real advantage for the big Merc's and makes the CL600 feel like a much smaller and lighter car in the twisties. It doesn't transform the car into a Porsche competitor, but it can be fun. I had the active body suspension in a BMW 545 and it was outstanding, but they package it with the larger run flat tires, which ruins the ride quality and also along with the active steering, which I never could get used to. Maybe if I only drove one car, it would be alright, but jumping from one car to another, the BMW steering was weird. I agree with you that Command is much easier to master than I-drive.
