The 3-yr.lease on my BMW 545 is up at the end of the month. I love the handling, performance and the navigation with head up display. It has been almost problem free...the run flats wear out quickly, lousy gas mileage 16mpg (maybe it's my driving). Biggest problem is that the seats are very uncomfortable for my 5'5" height...they just don't curve in the right place and cause back and neck discomfort. BMW offered assistance. So I drive around sitting up higher in the seat on a firm pillow...and with a neck roll on the headrest. I don't want another BMW because of the seat discomfort, I've never had this problem with Mercedes or Jag or even Ford or Honda! I have grown very accustomed to the heads up display, my favorite feature. Any recommendation on what to look at? Is there a heads up display anywhere else???

Replying to: drtravel (Sep 04, 2007 12:16 pm) I just came from 20 minutes (not driving, just sitting) in a $48K CTS DI, and -- well, hell, it seems to come "this close" to being a member of the LPS class. Alas, the CTS is (not yet) NOT a member of the club. The interior, for what its worth, is almost in the Audi class (which, for my money, is the best of the bunch.)

Replying to: topspin628 (Sep 04, 2007 5:27 pm) FWIW, configured apples to apples with the options I would order, there is an $8,800 difference in price. Hmmm, better fuel economy, almost identical acceleration (better at altitude and on hot humid days), less weight to throw around and significant savings. What's not to like? Best Regards, Shipo |
