As a owner of an E60 I can safely say that GS300 has more bang for buck. Styling is a personal preference however.

A 45k gs300 has more options and horsepower than a 45k 525i

I will buy a GS if is around $30K range, but for above $40k, is not worth it. The New GS still looks the same like the previous one, they mainly improve the interior design. Perhaps BMW need to improve their 3.0 engine now, it's feel kind of lack of power on the 530I.
