Replying to: m4d_cow (Oct 17, 2008 10:14 pm) A5 / 335i coupe / 6series / CLS XJ / E350 / A6 / A8 / 750i / 335i sedan Your list is very confusing  A5 and 6 series are large a 2 door coupe. CLS is also a coupe but 4 door! looks attractive, don't like the interior. E350 no,nope,never, unless the new redesign gets better. 335i is a small coupe. A6 sedan is midsize, A8 and 750li large sedans. If you want a coupe, I suggest 6series and the A5, Sedan, A8.

Actually, when the dust settles, there is one vehicle that stands out, and is a genuine benchmark, year after year, and is also a tremendous sales success... That vehicle is the BMW 3-Series. Coupe or sedan, It offers the right mix of interior comfort, luxury, features, and passenger capacity... as well as incredible style, major fun-factor, and superior performance. It's almost too obvious!  TM

Loaded up, its well over $50K. There's no reason to consider the 3 coupe and the 6. One is good, one isn't. If you're looking for a big GT cruiser, there are MUCH better choices than the 6 series. Jag XK, for one. The CLS is an E-class with a pretty dress on, so eliminate the E-class. Who wants to take one of the ugly sisters to the ball? You also need to decide whether you want performance with limited space (3) a compromise between the two (CLS, A6) or a big luxury car (XJ, A8, 7). Do that first, then worry about which one to get.

Replying to: lexusguy (Oct 18, 2008 11:40 am) You are right about the E-Class. It's not the value it used to be known for. I'd stay away. And, after a lot of posts, I think we all agree the XJ is the steal of the century. All said, though, the 3-Series is a car that's hard to beat. TM

Replying to: tagman (Oct 13, 2008 11:29 am)  When you do get that Honda I will meet you at the track with my soon-to-be Prius with its nasty looking rear spoiler and an external and internal audio system that duplicates the revs of a Lambo or Ferrari. Let's race to the finish line. This will be one of the greenest and greatest Al Gore endorsed races of the 21st century. I dont think there will be any need for us to wear helmets or for us to feel any guilt whatsoever about those melting icebergs.  After driving extensively with my diesel spewing 83 MB 300D I may be faced with eternal punishment since the Vatican has recently declared that environmental pollution is a new deadly sin. I am hoping that a Prius will be my ticket to Purgatory or at least there is some kind of "Grandfather Clause" related to this new officially declared sin.  NEW DEADLY SINS ACCORDING TO THE VATICAN

Replying to: tagman (Oct 18, 2008 3:29 pm) Indeed, I was really just mentioning the XK as an alternative to the BMW 6 series. I just don't see any reason to buy a 6, not when there are alternatives like the Jag, or the 911, SL, etc. The 5 is IMO more attractive and better to drive than the 6, and a heck of a lot more practical. Infiniti, Audi, Lexus, and Mercedes are definitely well aware of how tough the 3 series is to beat. The 3.0TT is an exceptional engine, and the recently refreshed car has the latest version of iDrive which may mitigate the car's biggest weakness. An A4 3.0T S-line with ADS would have a fighting chance against the 335i, but I wonder if Audi will do one since the S4 will only have 333hp, and the same engine. I'm not sure what the plan is there.
