Was deciding between a 530i, and a E350. Going into the test drive, I was leaning towards the Merc, and I must say, the interior on those things are just unbelievable, especially the gauges (can't think of the word for the speedometer, rpm's, etc.), white w/ black lettering looks really nice. But after driving them, although the Merc has more power, I just felt like I was really driving a car in the 530...so I went w/ that. Now here's the part that will test my patience...
I want Black on Black, SMG, sport pck., Navi., Xenon's, Prem. Sound pck. So my brother called up a dealer he knows, and the guy located some SMG's, or should I say TWO! There are ONLY TWO 530i SMG's in the West. U.S., and it just so happens that one of those is black on black, smg, sport, prem sound, navi, xenon etc...So tell me, what are the chances of dealers shipping cars to others? I don't really have any experience with dealers doing business together, do I have a good chance of getting it or will I have to wait the 8-10 weeks for the order. (Pretty pointless story, just wanted to let you guys know I'm still a BMW guy after 3 years w/ a 330ci)
