e53 vs e70
 

I was at the dealers yesterday and he had an 06 e53 for about 25K and a 07 for about 35K,

my question is , is the e70 that much a better suv than e53 to pay an extra 10K for?

For me, I am a single guy, I just like good handling, I am mainly interested in driving a fun , go-cart like SUV.

Do they have sports package? We need more info.

In general, the e70 is a softer ride, but it DOES handle better. (I know it's an oxymoron, but trust me... I had an e53 for three years before my current e70.) The e53 is a little harsher of a ride -- especially with Sports package. They are both great-handling cars, though. I don't think you'd go wrong with either one.

E70 @ 35k... wow they already dropped that dramatically? What's the mileage and options like because I'm seeing a lot of used '07 3.0si still above $50k (which I wouldn't consider if used). Personally I would get into the newer one for that price provided it checks out without first-year issues.
