Well I own a loaded e53 nav/Bluetooth etc, well it was till I put an aftermarket radio in because the screen was shot on the factory nav which has happened to most of them from what I have seen and read. Plus the factory Bluetooth likes to go bad and kill the battery.

I also own a 2013 e70.

Night and day difference between the two.

If your even thinking electronic features (nav/Bluetooth/etc) the e70 blows any e53 out of the water. No way of defending the e53 vs that.

Now drive wise the e53 is more raw and fun. Luxury driving wise the e70 wins. Rides smoother and more isolated feeling.

I think reality isn't going to be to kind to memory if you go hunting.
