However, we couldn't see paying the premium for a V8 when she did a LOT of highway driving and visiting our son in Missouri (and our other trips). Going CPO was probably a VERY wise decision and I bet you got a bit of a better deal. We ended up with another V6 vehicle and are completely happy. Now if I could just find something to tow my Jeep to the trails.  -Paul

Replying to: merc1 (Apr 04, 2006 8:38 pm) Oh c'mom. Luck? Did you say luck? BMW earned it fair and square! I am willing to make a bet with you that the 5 series will trounce the E class for many years to come. Despite that I like the idea of owning a diesel MB E wagon as our future family hauler.(but first MB has to re-skin and re-engineer the current E model in 2009)

Replying to: rich545 (Apr 05, 2006 5:14 am) To each their own but if BMW offered the 550 touring or even a 330 touring that car would be in my garage right now. I find it quite pathetic that BMW only offers here underpowered 325xi and 530xi tourings. Also what miffs me is the fact that your are forced to buy AWD. I would prefer a RWD 5 series Touring.

Replying to: markcincinnati (Apr 05, 2006 4:14 am) Yep. Elsewhere, Europe comes to mind, the Germans seem to be closer to each other than here in NA. Well actually I think the A6 runs the show in Europe in terms of sales. M

Replying to: dewey (Apr 05, 2006 5:28 am) BMW earned it fair and square! I am willing to make a bet with you that the 5 series will trounce the E class for many years to come. Yeah I said luck. The 5-Series really came to the market the right year, right after the E and before the Japanese onslaught on the segment. Plus the E had to deal with the CLS to some degree so yeah I say luck, not that the 5 isn't a great car dewey. I just meant that it traditionally doesn't outsell the E-Class. That comment was really for my friend who loves to tout 5-Series sales all the time.  Though I'll take you up on that bet. No way Mercedes is going to give up the sales crown that easy, though I'll be more confident after I see the facelifted model. M

Let's see if the E-Class closes the gap even more over the next several months. Should prove interesting. |
