So I'm starting to look for new cars...
I'm planning on getting a new car when the 330xi reaches 100,000 miles. I'm at 88,000 or so right now. I should hit 100,000 in about 5 or 6 months. So, what kind of car should I get? Here's what I'm looking at: (not in order)
1) Mercedes ML500- I'm loving the new MLs
2) Mercedes E320 CDI- I'd like a diesel..
3) BMW 330i- An E90 would be nice, but I want something bigger. The E46 is too small for me and my friends and I can't imagine the E90 is that much bigger.
4) BMW 545i- I love the E60 and I'd like a V8
5) Range Rover Sport- Remember my pal Miss Moran? Her mom's got one and it's beautiful
6) Land Rover LR3- That's what Moran's got, and I like it a lot.

Anything else you'd suggest I take a look at?

Well I loved my X5 to death. I still think it's the greatest car ever. But I think I want a car that I haven't owned already..
And the back of the LR3 is kind of.. hideous. But I like the front.

Well if thats the case then out of your list there I would go with the 545.

Driven a RR sport...its ok but its no X! If you are looking to go with range rover i would look at an 03 back when BMW was involved. I am not a huge fan of the new stuff.

I love the 545.. The only thing I don't like is that it's low to the ground. I like the high seating position of an SUV. The RR.. I agree it's no X, but I like it!

I wish they'd hurry up and come out with a diesel-powered ML. Or better yet, when the heck is BMW bringing the diesels over here?
