Replying to: markcincinnati (Nov 15, 2005 5:21 am) My guess is that there will be a soon-to-be Audi Q7 V10 TDI that will replace the V10 TDI Tourareg! This substitution would eliminate VW dealership issues! |

Shopping the mid-size to entry LPS sedan space for my fiance, a decently equipped Passat is in BMW 330i territory price wise, and is not even as good a car overall as an Accord EX V6. IMHO, VW is in big trouble as long as the Euro remains strong to the dollar.

Replying to: lexusguy (Nov 14, 2005 10:52 am) BUT, from what I read on the Touareg boards here, they are plagued with problems. That's a big shame because it's such a nice vehicle, IMO. I think it should've existed in it's current form as an Audi instead. I don't like the looks of the upcoming Q7.

I am a previous BMW owner who is contemplating jumping ship and purchasing the M35 sport becuase of all of its bells and whistles (i.e. sirius radio, dvd player, nav). In the past anytime I have ever strayed from BMW I have always regretted it becuase of the way it takes a corner. Has anyone out there driven both and found that the BMW wins becuase of the handling and acceleration? As far as I can tell by the internet the infiniti M35 sport seems to exceed the BMW on paper in every category. But true BMW owners know the feel that they get when they drive a BMW and other than a Porsche, I have yet to experience that with hardly any other car. Also the I-Drive on the BMW looks like a pain in the butt. Any BMW owners out there who think that you get used to it and it becomes second nature? Or is it always a pain? Any comments would be very helpful Thanks!

Replying to: jo2 (Nov 15, 2005 11:41 am) BUT...you get the option of a manual with the 5. How much is that worth? To some people, that would more than make up the difference. If you don't need AWD (only on the 530xi and M35x), my choice would be the M45. You do have to ask yourself how you will feel in a year if you go with the Infiniti (even if you love it) as you seem to subconsciously (or not) want the BMW. I'm not one to talk (since I had to have the M35x), but test drive, test drive, test drive. |

Replying to: jo2 (Nov 15, 2005 11:41 am) I found them both to be quite noisy. Handling not as good as my 545. I imagine the handling would be similar in the 530i. Gas mileage sucks in the M. The only thing the M has over the BMW is the brakes-the best! If the BMW didn't exist, I could probably force myself to like the M. If you get the 530i, by all means get the sport package! Also, kudos to you for actually asking a question that is relevant to this thread. It's been a long time.... |
