Replying to: mobiusf1 (Mar 23, 2009 11:25 pm) I found the Mercedes seats to be too hard. The Audi reminds me too much of a VW, just bland and the seats are sized on small end. I have not been able to find that perfect ergonomic position that suits me in any car but the 530. That said, I even tried the latest BMWs and I still prefer my 530. Oh, my dog loves it too. |

Replying to: allmet33 (Jan 09, 2009 7:25 am) I am looking at the BMW 5 series 528/535 xi vs. the Lexus GS350AWD and the Acura TL. I have driven each and find them comparable--the BMW handles best but is most technologically deficient. It has a single CD, have to pay for a changer, no onboard HDD, no backup camera etc. So real world fuel economy--I assume Lexus or Acura gets better real world mileage then either Bimmer...would that be correct? Also--has anyone compared the Logic7 audio in the BMW to the Mark Levinson in the Lexus? Music is VERY important to me. I have an M35X which I can't WAIT to get rid of -- you can read about THAT in the Infiniti thread.....but I am down to these three choices.....drove the A6 and wasn't too impressed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Replying to: art234 (Apr 04, 2009 4:29 pm) I have Logic7 and do not find it anything special, I heard that Mark Levinson is much better. As far as the total package goes, I find 535 the best in a class, GS does not come close and TL is in a different league. |

Get that HP to the road is the trick and BMW does it better than any other automaker. Good luck with whatever you get. Stay away from Volvo.

Replying to: art234 (Apr 05, 2009 5:23 am) The new 5 comes with usb and aux in. Add the Nav, satellite, and bluetooth, what else is there? |

Replying to: art234 (Apr 05, 2009 5:23 am) I personally think that the GS and the TL isn't as good as the 5. My only concern with bmws is, reliability and electronics, my first impression has not been very nice. Other than that, no other sedan is as exciting, especially when you're in the drivers seat. There is 1 more car which is about the same size as the 5, only if you're interested, the Jaguar XF, I saw 1 today in white, and I have to say, amazing looking from the rear in white color. Looks a lot better than the current 5, and did you know that there will be a redesign 5 sometime this year. |

Replying to: art234 (Apr 04, 2009 4:29 pm) I have an '08 535Xi. On the road, I have gotten as high as 30 mpg at a somewhat steady 74 mph. I typically average about 25 mpg on a trip with no effort to be frugal with the gas pedal. Trip computer shows overall average is 19 mpg, local and highway combined. I really like Logic 7. It's much better than the standard audio system in my wife's '06 X3. What I like most is Lexicon's Logic 7 surround sound processsing. When engaged, it seems like you are listening in a larger environment than the physical confines of the car itself, and provides a more natural ambiance. Thanks Bruce
