Let's discuss the difference in the ride quality between the 530Xi and 330Xi here: BMW 3-Series AWD vs. BMW 5-Series AWD.

Since I have both, I can tell you, the TL is heavier, gets ecellent gas mileage. For the type of driving you say you do, the TL wins. PS, the Infiniti is considerably noisier, and the shifter noise is very noticeable.

I think the intelligent key system is buggie. You will read about the issues on other sites. The computer chip that controls all the funky tech is unstable.

I had the G for about 8 months now and never had any problems with the key. I think the problem is minimal. People don't know how convenience it is until they have it.

I agree.
Mine is 5 months old and no problems to speak of.
 
Yes, there is a known issue with the codes in the fob getting scrambled if you allow your fob to sit directly on your cell phone and the phone receives a call... but this is being corrected and we should all have new keys by the end of Sept.
 
This is my first car with a keyless ignition and with my experience so far, I hope all of my future cars have the option as well.

Keyless ignitions! Nuts! Just when I was figuring out the complexities of using a key/ignition combo!!! Let's see:
 
1. Insert key
2. Turn key
 
Thank goodness we're getting rid of this bit of mechanical Rube Goldberg-ism. I hear there's something called I-Drive that greatly enhances the driving experience too!

It's not the complexity of the process, it's the process itself.
Go a few months without having to stick your hand into your pocket, pull out the keys, unlock the car, insert key into ignition and turn.... you'll understand.
 
It did take some getting used to though.
I'd get to my destination and then reach up to the steering column, my hand searching for keys that didn't exist.
That took some time to reprogram my brain.
 
I like not needing keys to get into the car.
Want in? Touch the handle.
Need something in the trunk? Touch the button.
 
I think it'll be nice in the winter.
Wearing gloves, carrying my laptop bag and not needing to fish for keys.
