"But for a long time everytime I turned on the TV I could count on hearing the Led Zep tune and knew a Cadillac commercial was coming."
 
You dont see so much of the Cadillac "Skyview" commercials for the SRX, followed by the tagline "Cadillac, Break Through" anymore. Probably because that literally happened on a few SRXes.

Year to date sales
 
525 - 15,422 or about 38% of all 5-series sales
530 - 18,661 or about 46% of all 5-series sales
 
Sure the 530 sells more but not by that much. Interesting that the lease rates are lower for the 530 than the 525 which reduces the effect of the higher price for the 530. Think that has any effect on sales? I see plenty of 525s in SoCal. Fewer buy the 545/550 - although most 5-series owners on this forum opted for the V8.

Bangle's surface detailing may still make me feel like I swallowed Ipecac, but this has my interest:

An M5 Touring would be fun factor to the nth degree. Too bad we'll never see it here.
 
525: That's about the ratio I would have thought, but as I said, I don't believe I've seen but one!

Well, we have the E55 wagon here. There's no way BMW will let Mercedes corner that market. Wherever one goes, the other will follow. Look at the new 6-series and the CLS-class. Granted one has 2 doors and the other 4, they both fill the same niche in the market.

I find it really strange that this model is supposedly shipping and no tester has tried one.
 
It is shipping and it's fast. I've driven one myself.

Over a 3 year lease it would have cost me over $7000 more for the 550 than for my 545 just to achieve a fraction of a second decrease in 0-60 mph time.
Otherwise the cars are virtually identical.
Not worth it IMHO.
Happy with only paying 2.4% interest instead of 6,24%.
The 545 is plenty fast enough, thanks.

Well, they say we'll see it in a year, but I'll just wait for the celebration. From the press, I would say a lot depends on E55 sales volume. Sounds like they're watching that specifically.
 
Seems wrong that they'd consider bringing that and they won't even drop a 330iT here. Now an M3 Touring, that would be something worth owning...
 
Wagons rule.

Wale Bate....I've been curious for some time about where it is that your flag represents and finally looked it up. Norfolk Island (East of the coast of Australia) A 2.5 hour flight from Sydney. Wow... sounds like a facinating place to live. Do you live still live there?

If everybody in this forum were representative of the real world every road/highway would be like a race track and all patrol officers would be working overtime!
