Isn't that the case with the 7 series? Not sure.

Not buy another BMW unfortunately...

I was in them for 9 years and loved them to pieces. But I had to go. The brand is moving in the wrong direction for me.

Had the 07' 550i sport. Loved it. The new 5er is like a 7 series (and about as heavy). So I personally left the brand, sadly. I imagine I'll replace my wife X5 with another BMW, but she is a different driver than I am. She likes luxury doesn't care about weight, handling nuances etc.. She's the reason the new BMWs look the way they do and weight what they do...?

I wanted a QP maserati. Too $$ new and too unreliable used. Merc and Audi offer nothing if you think BMW isn't sporty enough. So, I got a 911 and went completely to the extreme. I may look into a Panamera. Very cool car.

I was really thinking BMW was going to hit a bullseye with the new M5, after all the 2 chinks in the E60 M5's armor were poor low end torque and an annoying gearbox. Those two problems have been solved entirely. But who would have predicted a few hundred extra lbs. and bland styling!!! BMW is loosing the plot. I just wish they'd give M free reign to make the product core customers want. These days the M division is stuck modifying production trucks....

Lets pray for clarity for the BMW board.
