Poll: Which would you buy?

I'm looking for input/opinions on which car you all would buy, out of the ones I'm looking at.. Just say which one, and let me know your reasons why, and why you wouldn't buy the other ones. I know you're the experts, so I'm curious on your opinions.
Here are the cars I'm considering for when I get a new car:
2007 Audi A4 2.0T (New)
2007 BMW 330xi (New)
2003 BMW 530i
2003 BMW 540i
2004 BMW 545i
2004 Mercedes-Benz E500
Thanks, all!

LeMansX5 has a spectacular aura aboutLeMansX5 has a spectacular aura aboutLeMansX5 has a spectacular aura about
1st choice - 2007 330xi
2nd choice - 2004 545i

For the kind of driving you do 330xi will be better on gas and also the xi AWD will help in winter in your 'hood.

get a new car. Key word, warranty! I vote for the A3 2.0TQMS or the 3.2 actually. It's actually roomier than the A4

I really do like the A3.. I'm definitely going to look at it.

I do love the 3.. See, there's a part of me that wants to see what else is out there, having driven 2 BMWs.. But part of me loves my 3 so much that I couldn't consider driving anything else. I'm torn! My mom wants me to get the 330xi.. She thinks that a BMW 3 series is a good, safe car for me. I definitely agree. Even though I'm going to college in FL, the AWD would be an advantage if I was, say.. Driving home for winter break, and ran into a nasty snowstorm along the way.

I'm going for the 330xi, wouldn't you want to wait until the 335i is about to come out and get a good deal?

Seems to me the AWD is a good choice because of your travels through inclement weather. I'm sure it will make your mom happy. So why aren't the X3 and X5's (E53 or E70) in your mix?
