    This car has it all. The sportness for driving, comfort and luxury cabin, and the excellent feeling while driving/riding in it. It sure is kind on roads.

    The Benz E500 has the same level of handling as the BMW with none of the rough ride. The Benz shocks adjust their damping rate 100 times per second, and have the ability to stop body roll entirely. Does the Bimmer have any of this? Nope 4 plain old shocks that are adjusted to dislodge your molars at the first pothole. A stiff ride does not mean that your car handles better, It just means that its stiff and LOW Tech. BMW does not offer Nav system until the fall. BMW does not offer Bluetooth until next year. BMW does not offer 7 speed transmission, period.

    This car is definitely the ultimate driving machine. I know there are people who havent driven this car that are keeping the rating down. This car is so smooth, so smart...the I- drive has been simplified compared to the 7-series. Its a breeze to operate. I dont have the nav. system, so I dont know if those complications will develop. The car has enough pickup that I dont have to shift into steptronic unless I need that kick after the light turns green.

    Great looking; sassy; fun to drive; good interior space; handles extremely well. I have the sports package which has a nice stiff feel to it; like youre always in control.

    This is a terrific automobile. Looks, handling, comfort and its as solid as a rock. A lofty price tag, buts its worth it. I-Drive gives a man that total feeling of control, like that same feeling you get when you take possession of the TV remote. Mr. Long Giang at Vista Motors is great.

  • Best car ever own - 2004 BMW 5-Series

    I love the way the car handles with its AFSteering system. Idrive is very easy and idiot can figure it out with some time spent using it.
